MOSES THATCHER, JR.

    With various corporate interests Moses Thatcher, Jr., is closely associated,
and the nature and importance of his interests make him one of the leading
business men of Logan, his native city. He was born May 18, 1869, a son of Moses
and Lettie (Farr) Thatcher, mentioned at length on another page of this work,
his father being one of the most distinguished citizens that Utah has produced.

    Having mastered the branches of learning taught in the common schools of
Logan, Moses Thatcher, Jr., continued his education in the Brigham Young
College, In which he completed his course as a graduate of the class of 1883. He
then made his initial step in the business world, becoming connected with the
transfer and livery business in Logan, in which he was active from 1895 until
1915. In the meantime he had extended his efforts into still other fields,
becoming a coal merchant .of the city in 1907. He sells to the retail trade,
having large coal yards at No. 155 South Main Street, and the business has
assumed extensive proportions. He is also a director of the Logan Amusement &
Investment Company, a director of the Thatcher Mill & Elevator Company of Logan
and has other interests, his sound judgment and spirit of enterprise
constituting an important element in the successful conduct of business affairs.

    Mr. Thatcher was married in 1890 to Miss Sarah Hopkins, of Logan, a daughter
of W. T. Hopkins, one of the early residents of this section of the state. They
have six children: Lillie A.; Leora; Helen Camille, who graduated from the
Agricultural College with the class of 1919; Martha Eunice, a student in the
Utah Agricultural College; Ida, attending high school; and Moses, thirteen years
of age, also in school.

    Mr. Thatcher is a member of the Commercial Club. His religious faith is that
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in 1891-2 he was on a
mission to Great Britain. His political allegiance is given the democratic party
and he stands for all that is progressive in matters of citizenship, giving
earnest support and cooperation to plans and measures which seek the development
of Logan and the upholding of those interests which are a matter of civic virtue
and of civic pride. In 1899-1900 he was a member of the Logan city council,
resigning in 1900 to accept the managership of The Idaho Milling Company and
Oneida Mercantile Union. He was elected county commissioner of Cache county in
1918 for a two years' term.
