JOSEPH PARMLEY.

    Joseph Parmley, chief clerk to the general superintendent of the Utah Fuel
Company at Castlegate, was born in Winterquarters, Utah, June 5, 1890, a son of
T. J. and Mary A. (Carrick) Parmley, mention of whom is made elsewhere in this
work. The family numbered three sons and four daughters, of whom Joseph, Maria,
Mary and Florence B. are all living, while William, John and Hannah V. have
passed away.

    After mastering the branches of learning taught in the public schools of
Winter-quarters, Joseph Parmley entered the Latter-day Saints University, in
which he pursued a commercial course from 1905 until 1909, when he was
graduated. He started out in business life as material clerk with the Utah Fuel
Company at Winterquarters in June of the latter year and afterwards accepted the
position of second clerk on the 1st of January, 1910. He thus continued to serve
until April, 1911, when he was called to fill a mission to Great Britain, where
he labored in the interests of the church for two and a half years. Upon his
return to Carbon county he resumed his former position, acting in that capacity
for four years, when he was promoted to the position of chief clerk to the
general superintendent of the Utah Fuel Company at Castlegate. He has since
acted in that capacity to the entire satisfaction of the company. His capability
and steady progress will undoubtedly win for him further promotions as he is yet
a young man to whom the future holds out large opportunities.

    On the 25th of November, 1914, in Salt Lake City, Mr. Parmley was married to
Miss Lillie M. Broyles, a daughter of J. F. and Eleanora Broyles. Her father has
been an engineer for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad for the past thirty-five
years and is now living in Salt Lake City, but the mother has departed this
life. Mr. and Mrs. Parmley have become the parents of two children: Joseph, born
November 29, 1915; and Eleanora, born September 15,  1917. 

    Mr. Parmley has always been connected with the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. His political endorsement is given to the republican party
and he was elected town clerk of Scofield but resigned upon his removal to
Castlegate in 1917. Since then he has been chosen town clerk of the town in
which he now makes his home and is filling the position at this writing. He is a
wide-awake, alert and progressive young man, interested in all that makes for
advancement and improvement along every line that has to do with the welfare of
the community and the state.
