CLARENCE E. BOSTWICK.

    Clarence E. Bostwick, manager of the Wasatch Stores Company at
Winterquarters, in Carbon county, was born in Missouri Valley, Iowa, September
21, 1882, his parents being G. G. and Alice J. (Varus) Bostwick. The father is a
native of Canada and when eighteen years of age went to Iowa. The mother was
born in Jamestown, Pennsylvania, and was taken to Iowa by her parents when but
two years of age. She was married in Missouri Valley, that state, in 1878 and in
1901 removed with her husband to Craig, Missouri, where they still reside, G. G.
Bostwick following the occupation of farming.

    Clarence E. Bostwick is indebted to the public school system of Iowa in part
for his educational opportunities. He spent three years as a high school pupil
there and afterward studied for a year in the high school at Craig, Missouri. He
started out in the business world as a cook at St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1902 and
continued in that work for four years. He then came to Utah, where he entered
the employ of the A. Madsen & Sons Mercantile Company at Scofleld, where he
'continued for five years. On the expiration of that period, he accepted
employment with the Wasatch Stores Company at Winterquarters and later became
local manager, which position he still holds. He is a capable and thoroughly
reliable business man who employs progressive methods in the conduct of the
interests entrusted to his care and he has made the store an attractive business
center, carrying a large and well selected line of goods and putting forth every
effort to please the patrons.

    At St. Joseph, Missouri, on the 7th of July, 1904, Mr. Bostwick was married
to Miss Nora Cronin, who was born April 18, 1882, a daughter of John and Johanna
Cronin. They were natives of England and on emigrating to the United States
settled at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mr. Cronin filled the responsible position
of manager of the West India docks until his death in 1888. Mrs. Cronin survives
and is in the mercantile business in Pittsburgh at the present time.

    In his political views Mr. Bostwick is a democrat and for four years he
served as treasurer of the town board of Scofield. He is a very genial and
accommodating gentleman, always courteous and obliging, and his social nature
and business qualifications have made for him an enviable position in, public
regard.
