EMIL OSTLUND.

    In the great industrial system which has been built up in connection with
the development of the rich mining resources of Utah men of efficiency and
business-capacity are employed to take charge of important duties in this field
of labor, which has contributed so largely to the development and upbuilding of
the state. To this class belongs Emil Ostlund, who is now located at Clearcreek
as superintendent of the Clearcreek mines of the Utah Fuel Company.

    Like many of the substantial citizens of Utah, he is of Swedish birth,
having first opened his eyes to the light of day in Sweden on the 3d of August,
1879. He obtained a high school education and also spent two years in a military
school in his native land. He was twenty years of age when he bade adieu to
friends and native country and sailed for the new world with Utah as his
destination. He first settled at Sunnyside, where he remained for eight years,
there beginning work in the mines. He advanced rapidly as he proved his
capability and fidelity and occupied at various periods the positions of fire
boss, assistant foreman and general inspector for the company. He afterward went
to Winterquarters as foreman and subsequently became connected with the Utah
mines as superintendent. He is now located at Clearcreek as superintendent and
displays thorough powers or organization and unfaltering enterprise in the,
direction of the work at this point.

    On the 18th of November, 1903, at Sunnyside, Mr. Ostlund was married to Miss
Rachel Gibbs, who was born June 25, 1883, a daughter of R. W. and Angharad
(Davis) Gibbs, who are residents of Price, Utah, the father having now retired
from active business to enjoy a well earned rest. The children of the family are
four in number, namely: Audrey, who was born August 16, 1905; Richard, October
1, 1908; Evelyn. June 12, 1910; and Willard, March 29, 1912.

    In his political views Mr. Ostlund is a democrat and is now filling the
office of county commissioner of Carbon county, discharging his duties for the
benefit and upbuilding of the district -without thought of self-aggrandizement.
