OLIVER SUTCH.

    Oliver Sutch, foreman of No. 2 mine at Castlegate, has throughout his entire
business life been connected with mining interests, beginning work in the coal
mines of England in 1892, when a lad of but twelve years. He was born at Wigan,
Lancastershire, England, March 3, 1880, a son of Peter and Esther (Bagguley)
Sutch. The father, who followed coal mining in England, is now deceased. The
mother is still living at the age of sixty-four years, having been born in the
year which witnessed the proclamation of peace following the Crimean war. To Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Sutch were born six children: Oliver, John, Sarah Jane, Betsey,
Tom and Albert.

    Oliver Sutch pursued his education in the common schools of England and also
took a special business course. In 1892 he began work in the coal mines and was
thus employed until 1904. In that year he emigrated to the new world and made
his way direct to Castlegate, Utah, where he arrived in the month of June. He
entered the employ of the Utah Fuel Company, with which he has since been
connected, and steadily he has worked his way upward until he now occupies the
position of mine foreman in No. 2 mine. There is no phase of coal mining with
which he is not thoroughly familiar. He knows every branch of the work and is
thus capable of directing the labors of the miners who are employed under him.

    On the 27th of December, 1907, at Price, Mr. Sutch was married to Miss Ada
Ager, a daughter of Peter and Margaret (Stoneman) Ager, who were natives of
England. Her father was a hoisting engineer at the mines and is still living,
but the mother has passed away. The members of the family of Mr. and Mrs. Sutch
are: Margaret; Oliver, Jr., who was born at Castlegate, October 12, 1908;
Lucile, born at Castlegate, June 12, 1910; Albert Ernest, October 17, 1911;
Christopher Richard, August 11, 1913; Peter, June 29, 1915; and Robert, April
29, 1918.

    In his political views Mr. Sutch is a republican and keeps well informed on
the questions and issues of the day but has never been an office seeker, his
time and attention, being fully occupied by his business duties. He is a Mason,
having become a charter member of Lodge No. 16, at Price, and the craft finds in
him a worthy exemplar, who is loyal to its teachings concerning the brotherhood
of man and the obligations thereby imposed. He has never had occasion to regret
his determination to come to the new world, for here he found the opportunities
which he sought and has made for himself a creditable place among the
representative citizens of his community.
