Utah Since Statehood, Volumes 1-4
Description:
Utah was settled by Mormon pioneers in 1847, and it became the 45th state in 1896. This database contains a four-book series published in 1919. The first volume is a history of the state from before the Mormon settlers arrived through about 1920. The last three volumes contain biographical sketches of prominent people throughout the state. For those researching early Utah history, this will be a helpful database.Source Information:
Ancestry.com, comp. Utah Since Statehood, Volumes 1-4. [database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2000. Original data: Noble Warrum, ed. Utah Since Statehood, 4 volumes. Chicago, IL; Salt Lake City, UT: S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1919.J. H. Wood (page 293-294)
J. H. Wood, a prosperous farmer and stock raiser of San Juan county, specializing in Hereford cattle, makes his home at Monticello. He was born at Cedar City, Utah, March 8, 1875, and in the paternal line comes of English ancestry. He is a son of Samuel and Josephine C. (Chatterley) Wood, the former a native of England, whence he came to Utah when a lad of fifteen years. He was married at Cedar City and in 1883. removed to Bluff, while in 1893 he came to Monticello, where he passed away in 1910. He was a pioneer at Cedar City, Iron county, and at Bluff and was a most progressive man, contributing in substantial measure to the upbuilding of both Bluff and Monticello. He was at all times most practical and his labors were therefore far-reaching and resultant. In his farming operations he followed progressive methods and aided in reclaiming the wild land of this region for the purposes of civilization. He was also active in the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
J. H. Wood attended the public schools of Bluff and the Brigham Young University at Provo. When eighteen years of age he began farming and undertook the task of building up a herd of cattle at Bluff. At the end of eight years thus spent he removed to Monticello, where he secured a homestead that he still owns. He has since added to it a large tract secured from the state and has valuable farming interests, while in his stock raising he has also won substantial profit, specializing in Hereford cattle. Extending his efforts in still other directions, he has become a stockholder and a director of the Monticello State Bank and of the Monticello Cooperative Company and a stockholder of the Blue Mountain Irrigation Company.
At Salt Lake City, on the 17th of December, 1902, Mr. Wood was married to Miss Lillian Decker, who was born November 13, 1876, a daughter of James B. and Anna M. (Mickelson) Decker. Both were natives of Utah and their marriage was celebrated at Parowan, this state. They settled in San Juan county in 1880 and Mr. Decker assisted in building the roads to get to Bluff, on the San Juan river. He died at Bluff in 1901 and the mother afterward removed to Monticello. One of her daughters was born while the family were removing to Bluff, the trip being a very arduous and difficult one owing to the fact that portions of the road had to be blasted out, so that travel was very slow. To Mr. and Mrs. Wood have been born eight children: Joseph E., whose natal day was October 11, 1903; Frances Claire, born February 12, 1905; Bernice, whose birth occurred on the 3d of September, 1906; Fern who was born November 1, 1907; Clark, born November 25, 1909; Merrill, born November 3, 1911; Josephine, born August 9, 1914; and Mark, who first opened his eyes to the light of day on the 11th of December, 1917.
Mr. Wood is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and filled a mission of two and a half years to the central states, while for five years he served as bishop of Monticello ward. He was all through the Cuban campaign in the Spanish-American war. He is a republican in his political views and is a member of the town board of Monticello. He has also filled the offices of county sheriff and assessor for one term each and is now serving for the third term as county commissioner. He cooperates heartily in all plans and projects for the general good and his aid and cooperation can always be counted upon to further any movement that is calculated to benefit his community or advance its wonderful development.

James B. Decker (page 276-277)James B. Decker, cashier of the Monticello State Bank of Monticello, San Juan county, was born at Bluff, Utah, March 19, 1883. His parents, James B. and Anna M. (Mickeison) Decker, were representatives of early pioneer families of the state. Both were born at Parowan, where their respective parents had located on coming to Utah. In 1879 James B. Decker, Sr., assisted in building the road to Bluff, blasting the way through a bluff now known as the Hole in the Rock. He afterward returned to Parowan and in the following year, 1880, removed his family to Bluff. He was engaged in sheep and cattle raising and continued to reside at Bluff to the time of his death. He was the first stake Sunday school superintendent and the first Sunday school superintendent of Bluff ward. He likewise filled the office of county commissioner and was a member of the school board for a number of years. He took a most prominent and helpful interest in all school activities and church work and he gave to each of his children good educational opportunities. He died at Bluff, a most highly respected citizen, in 1900. His wife, Mrs. Anna M. Decker, was with her husband through all the privations and hardships of pioneer life. One of her children, a daughter, was born in a covered wagon in what is known as the Hole in the Rock, above referred to. In 1918 Mrs. Decker removed to Monticello, where she now makes her home. One of her sons, Claude Decker, volunteered when war was declared against Germany in 1917. He joined the Marines and went to France in February, 1918. He was one of the earliest of the Americans to engage in active service and was wounded in the shoulder by a machine gun but returned to the front before the close of hostilities. He received an honorable discharge September 11, 1919, and returned to his home in Monticello.
James B. Decker acquired his early education in the common schools of Bluff and afterward spent two years as a pupil in the Brigham Young University at Provo, pursuing a commercial course. He devoted three years to an agricultural course in the Utah Agricultural College at Logan and he also pursued two summer courses in science at the University of Utah. Thus liberal educational training well qualifled him for responsible duties and he is regarded as one of the most intelligent and enterprising young men of Monticello. His earlier life work was with his father in stock raising and in 1910 he became an active factor in educational circles. For two years he was principal of the schools at Milford, Utah, and in 1912 was principal of the Monticello schools, while in 1913 he accepted the principalship of the schools at Bluff and filled the office for two years. In 1915 he became associated with the Verdure Live Stock Company, operating from Monticello, and for three years was range foreman. In 1918 he became one of the incorporators of the Monticello State Bank, was chosen its cashier and has since remained one of the popular officials of the institution. He is also a stockholder in the Verdure Live Stock Company, is the owner of some splendid farm land and likewise owns a good home at Monticello.
In Salt Lake City, in September, 1909, Mr. Decker was married to Miss Laura Pearl Adams, a daughter of Charles and Sarah Ann (Davenport) Adams, who crossed the plains at an early day and were afterward called to settle Parowan, Utah. Her father was bishop for twenty-five years and both he and his wife are still living at Parowan. To Mr. and Mrs. Decker have been born five children: James, whose birth occurred at Milford, November 29, 1910; Helen, who was born at Parowan in April, 1912; Webster, born at Bluff in October, 1914; Maud May, whose birth occurred at Monticello in March, 1917; and Craig, who was born at Monticello in April, 1919.
The religious faith of the family is that of the Mormon church and Mr. Decker filled a mission to the northern states from 1906 until 1908, acting as traveling elder. He has been superintendent of the Sunday school of Monticello and has filled other positions in the church with honor and ability. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he is an active worker in its ranks, being now chairman of the republican county central committee. He has filled the office of county treasurer and during the war he was on the building committee for the purpose of restricting excess in building. His influence has been a tangible asset in public progress and improvement in San Juan county and thus the work which was instituted by his pioneer ancestors and continued by his parents is being carried still further forward by James B. Decker.
