Odgen, UT. 1900-1920. Specimen. Odd shs. Capital stock. Brown. Portrait of David Eccles. David Eccles joined with C.W. Nibley and others to build factories in Odgen (1898). Logan (1901), and Lewiston (1905). These and other factories outside the state were combined in 1915 as the Amalgamated Sugar Company. He invited friends and acquaintances in northern Utah to go to Oregon and homestead timber tracts and work for him. He and his associates also built the Sumpter Valley and Mount Hood railroads. All of these operations were profitable and Eccles shipped much of the finished lumber to Utah where it was used in building homes. In 1874 for three months Eccles attended Louis Moench's school in Ogden. At Moench's school David met Bertha Marie Jensen, whom he married in 1875. They had 12 children together. Eccles was admired by Ellen Stoddard, the daughter of one of his partners, John Stoddard. As loyal Mormons, both David and Ellen recognized that he might marry a second wife. After a brief courtship they were married. Ellen remained in Baker for several years, after which she established a home in Logan. She and David had nine children. Eccles put all of these children to work at the earliest possible age. He died in 1912 (I can see why). Rare Mormon related certificate from famous and prolific luminary. SBNC. XF.
