W. J. EMIGHOLZ.

    The Utah Fuel Company has built up a wonderful organization in its plant and
methods. Those in control of its affairs have surrounded themselves with
assistants who are thoroughly capable and W. J. Emigholz is numbered with these,
holding the position of chief clerk of the coke ovens at Sunnyside, where are
found the largest number of coke ovens all together in the world. His progress
has been continuous since he started out in business life.

    He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 8, 1884, a son of William J. and Emma
(Clatt) Emigholz. The father came to the United States with his parents when
about ten years of age and was educated in Cincinnati, where he later engaged in
retail merchandising. He died in 1897 at the age of forty-nine years, but the
mother still makes her home in Cincinnati and has reached the age of sixty-eight
years.

    In the public schools of Cincinnati W. J. Emigholz pursued his education and
when nineteen years of age passed the civil service examination that indicated
his qualifications for appointment to a position in the postoffice at
Cincinnati. After two years, however, he removed to the west, making his way to
Pueblo, Colorado, where he secured a clerical position with the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company, there remaining for five years, or until 1910. In that year he
removed to Sunnyside, Utah, accepting the position of chief clerk of the coke
ovens, an important service, as nowhere else in the world are to be found so
many coke ovens all together. Through the intervening period of nine years Mr.
Emigholz has remained with the Utah Fuel Company, his efforts being entirely
satisfactory to the corporation which he represents.

    In Denver, Colorado, on the 10th of February, 1908, Mr. Emigholz was married
to Miss Grace C. Johnstone, a daughter of Myers P. and Henrietta F. Johnstone.
They removed from Illinois to Coolidge, Kansas, where their daughter Grace was
born November 4, 1890. The father has passed away but the mother now makes her
home in Pueblo, Colorado.

    In religious faith Mr. and Mrs. Emigholz are connected with the Lutheran
church and he is a valued and examplary member of the Masonic fraternity and the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In community affairs he has taken a deep and
helpful interest, serving as town clerk of Sunnyside, and for two terms he has
been justice of the peace.
