affairs, whose death occurred Friday evening.
John Watson, 81, former
member of the presidency of the L.D.S. Weber stake, former city councilman and

century, died Friday evening at six o’clock at the family home, 2556 Madison
avenue, of ailments incident to old age.
Funeral arrangements will be
announced by Larkin & Sons upon receipt of word from out of town relatives.
BORN IN EUROPE
Born in York, England, April 19, 1853, a son of William
and May Binnington Watson, he attended church schools and at the age of 17 began
a sailing vessel apprenticeship of four years. Afterwards he was employed for 13
years in a marine engineering company in England.
He was converted to the
L.D.S. church November 4, 1877. He was married to Mrs. Sarah Mortimer Seaton in
England that year and they came to America in 1881, settling in Salt Lake City
where Mr. Watson worked in the shoe factory of the Z.C.M.I. for two years, after
which he became secretary to S.W. Sears, manager of the Ogden Z.C.M.I. He held
this position for two years and was then made general manager of the Ogden
branch, holding this position for 23 years.
In 1887 he was elected a city
alderman, with David Eccles as mayor. During his administration the city
purchased the City Hall square and constructed the present city hall building.
He was again elected to the position of city alderman in 1894, when Charles
Brough was mayor.
IMPORTANT MOTION
President Watson, always interested
in the educational field, was elected to the Ogden city school board in 1888.
Possibly his greatest contribution to the city schools was his motion in the
school board session “that we make the schools of Ogden city public and free.”
This motion was adopted by the board and has since been in practice. In 1900 he
was chosen a member of the board of Weber stake academy and served continuously
until 1923. He served as treasurer of the board from 1908 to 1923 and as vice
president from 1922 to 1923.
The annex to the college building was built in
1907 which was during his term as a board member and the present Weber college
gymnasium was constructed.
Mr. Watson also served as vice president of the
Utah state industrial school for a number of years and for five years was
trustee and treasurer of the Thomas D. Dee Memorial hospital. For 14 years he
was a member of the state equalization board.
ACTIVITIES IN CHURCH
President Watson was an ardent worker in the L.D.S. church and at the time of
his death was a member of the high priest quorum of Mount Ogden stake. On April
16, 1892, he was ordained a high priest and set apart as a high councilman of
Weber stake. He was the oldest high priest in point of ordination in the stake,
having held that authority for 42 years. He served as a teacher and assistant
superintendent of the old Fourth ward Sunday school and upon the organization of
the Fifth ward was appointed superintendent of the Sunday school in June, 1887,
which position he held for 14 years. While serving in this capacity, in
November, 1900, he was ordained bishop of the Fifth ward, holding this office
for nine years.
President Watson had enjoyed excellent health all his life
and had been confined to his bed for the past week, but his condition was not
regarded as serious. It was said President Watson was always ready to lend a
helping hand where it was needed and that he contributed most generously to the
religious, educational and civic life of the community.
One of President
Watson’s outstanding characteristics was his even temperament and tolerance
toward the weaknesses of his fellowmen. He was ever ready to encourage and give
sound advice to one in trouble.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
President and Mrs.
Watson celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary in January of this year.
He is survived by his widow, and 10 sons and daughters: Mrs. Sarah Nettie

Headline: Served For
Many Years In Sugar and Oil Trade Activities
Le Roy R. Eccles, 56,
prominent sugar and oil trade official, formerly of Ogden, died early this
morning in Houston Texas. Apoplexy was the cause of death, according to an
Associated Press dispatch.
Mr. Eccles was born in Ogden, November 29, 1879, a
son of David and Bertha Jensen Eccles. He spent his early life in Ogden,
attending the local schools. He then attended the University of Utah, taking a
course in mining engineering. At the time he was in his junior year, the Ogden
sugar factory was under construction and it was his father’s wish that he know
more about sugar manufacturing so he left school and came back to Ogden to learn
the sugar business.
Fred G. Taylor was living at the Eccles’ home at that
time and he and Le Roy Eccles worked together on the construction and the first
campaign of the Ogden sugar factory.
After having worked at the Ogden factory
for about two years as a chemist, he went to Logan in (continued on Page two)

About
1898 and assisted in construction of the Logan sugar factory. He later became
superintendent.
ON EUROPEAN MISSION
He was called to serve a mission for the L.D.S. church
to German during the years 1902-3-4. He spent two years of his mission in
Germany proper and the latter part in south Hungary, on the Roumanian frontier.
He spent some time in Magdeburg, Germany, center of a beet sugar industry where
he learned much about the raising of sugar beets.
Upon his return home, he
took part in construction of the Lewiston sugar factory in about 1905. He became
superintendent and lived there for abut three years. He was later brought to
Ogden and made general superintendent of the Amalgamated Sugar company and
Lewiston Sugar company under David Eccles with headquarters here.
COMPANIES MERGED
During his superintendency the La Grande, Oregon factory
which had been built about the same time as the Ogden and Logan factories was
dismantled and re-erected in Burley, Idaho in 1912.
The consolidation of the
Amalgamated and Lewiston companies was effected in 1914 and Mr. Eccles was made
vice president and general manager, right after his father’s death. He served in
this capacity until August, 1918, at which time he resigned and went to Texas,
where he engaged in the oil business. He remained there for about five years,
returning to Ogden in 1923. He stayed in Ogden about three and a half years and
again returned to Texas, where he had lived until his death.
Mr. Eccles was
active in civic and commericial work, and held many responsible positions. He
accompanied M.S. Browning and Joseph Scowcroft to Panama in 1915 to investigate
a deal pertaining to sugar cane production. The proposition fell through,
however, due to war activities.
Mr. Eccles was vice president of the railroad
company during the construction of the Ogden, Logan and Idaho railroad, which
included the city and interurban lines. This was later consolidated into the
Utah Idaho Central and the Utah Rapid Transit company in 1920. He was vice
president of the David Eccles company and of several coal companies. At one time
he operated the Empire Copper company in Mackay, Idaho. He was president of the
Sumpter Valley Railroad company of Oregon for eight years. He was also vice
president and director for the First National bank and Ogden Savings bank.

BORN IN OGDEN
Born at Ogden July 4, 1877, the prominent attorney would have been 59 years old

President Coolidge in 1929, and served until June 26, 1933, when he was

was employed continuously with the Union Pacific until shortly before his death
in 1890, and his wife died in 1919.
WAS COUNTY CLERK
Mr. Hollingsworth
was graduated from Ogden High school June 12, 1894, and went to work the next
morning in the county clerk’s office here. He left that office in 1897 and was

1927 and 1929. He resigned at adjournment of the 1929 session, after serving as
chairman of the judiciary committee during both sessions and on March 16, 1929,
assumed the duties of United States district attorney for Utah, to which office
he was named by President Coolidge, February 2, 1920, on recommendation of the
then Senator Reed Smoot.
Mr. Hollingsworth studied law under the guidance of
attorney friends of Ogden and was admitted to practice law by the state supreme
court of Utah after an examination on May 8, 1905. He had been in the general
practice of law in Ogden continuously since that time.
ADMITTED TO
PRACTICE
The prominent attorney was admitted to practice before the United
States district court of appeals for the eighth and tenth districts, and in
March 1919, was admitted to practice before the United States supreme court, on
motion of former Senator George Sutherland, now Justice Sutherland of that
court.
Member of the American Bar association, Mr. Hollingsworth attended
each national meeting since 1908 with three exceptions. He was a member of the
Utah State and the Weber County Bar associations, and was president of the State
Bar association from 1925 to 1927. He frequently had been the Utah member of the
executive council of the national association, was a member of the Commercial
Law league, member and director of the American Judicature society, and member
of the American branch of the International Law association and of the National
Economic league.
He had been one of the Utah commissioners on uniform state
laws since 1907, with the exception of four years. He was one of the oldest
members of the national commission in length of service. He was a member of
commerce, the Ogden Golf and Country club and the Alta club.
Other services
performed during his career included secretary of the board of trustees of the
state industrial school, 1897 to 1910, secretary of the Weber club of Ogden from
1900 to 1907.
AT CONVENTIONS
He attended the Republican National
Conventions in 1904, 1908, 1916, and 1920, and was one of the Utah delegates to
the convention of 1912 in Chicago---The Taft-Roosevelt convention. He was
chairman of the Republican state convention held at Provo, in May, 1924, at
which delegates to the national convention were elected. The convention
nominated President Coolidge. Mr. Hollingsworth also served as chairman of the
Republican county central committee for the campaigns of 1914 and 1916, and had
been elected a delegate to nearly every Republican state and county convention
since 1898.
During his term as district attorney, there was a large increase
in the work of the office. He handled in the circuit court of appeals eleven
cases, to which the United States was a party, and all were decided favorably
for the federal government.
Mr. Hollingsworth was married in Winona, Minn.,
September 19, 1906, and the couple had one daughter, who died in infancy.
EXPRESS SORROW
Joseph E. Evans, who has been associated with Mr.
Hollingsworth for more than 20 years, expressed sorrow at his death. Other
prominent lawyers of the city also extended their sympathies and called
attention to the great respect held for him by the members of his profession.
