yes, but before Oregon, his early Utah life was in Weber County, North Fork Ogden River country. And he was affiliated with the Amalgamated Sugar Co., not U&I. Just had to flesh out the important parts.

I’m impressed with a culture of modesty in which even the lumber cannot go undressed.

What does it say in the block on the left? What prompted the diversion to sugar? Was his business limited to Oregon lumber and Amalgamated sugar?
I’m glad to see the Eccles family engaged in actually producing something, rather than just moneylending.
And, I know that Kent’s kidding, but “dressed” lumber was lumber that was jointed and planed, rather than the rough sawn lumber that would have been used for framing back in those days.
