EPHRAIM ALBERT COWLEY.

    Ephraim Albert Cowley, the president and manager of the Cowley Furniture
Company of Richfield and head of one of the leading business interests of the
city, was born in Logan, Cache county, Utah, in 1874, a son of Charles C. and
Elener (Curtis) Cowley. He pursued his early education in the schools of Cache
county, followed by study in the Brigham Young University at Provo and the
Latter-day Saints University of Salt Lake. After completing his education he
taught school until called to a mission to Australia, where he spent three
years. Upon his return to Utah he engaged in the creamery business but after
three years devoted to that industry sold out and organized the Cowley Furniture
Company, of which he is now the president and manager. His establishment is one
of the largest and most complete house furnishing concerns in southern Utah and
enjoys a widespread popularity for superior goods and reliable dealing. The
stock embraces every article that the housewife demands and the reasonable
prices, the thorough business methods and the reliability of the firm secure it
a most liberal and well deserved patronage.

    In May, 1899, Mr. Cowley was united in marriage to Miss Annie Dastrup at
Manti Temple. The Dastrup name is found often on the pages of Utah's history,
for the family was among the earliest of the pioneer settlers of southern Utah,
and the daughter, Annie, was reared at Sigurd, Sevier county. The children of
Mr. and Mrs. Cowley are: Lamoyne E., W. Valdez, Frank Lavon, who are being most
carefully reared. They are now students in the graded schools of Richfield.

    Mr. Cowley is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and has been stake superintendent of Sunday schools for the past ten
years. No man in Sevier county holds a higher place in the esteem of his
neighbors and fellow citizens. As a merchant, as a citizen and as a churchman
his record is above reproach and he is thus contributing in large measure to the
development of his city and county along: material, intellectual and moral lines.
