CHARLES H. BARTON
Honored and respected by all, no man occupies a more enviable position in business and financial circles of Ogden than Charles H. Barton, the efficient cashier of the Ogden Savings Bank and the president of the Weber Club and the Ogden Publicity Bureau. With the thoroughness with which he has bent his efforts to the upbuilding of the bank he has undertaken the work of promoting the interests of his city, extending its trade relations and upholding its civic standards and in both fields his accomplishments are gratifying and notable.
Mr. Barton is one of Utah's native sons. He was born in Kaysville, Davis county, November 12, 1871, and is a son of Joseph and Mary Ann (Allen) Barton, the former a native of St. Helens, England, and the latter a native of London, England. The father came to Utah in 1854 as a civil engineer and practiced his profession in this state for many years but is now living retired in Oregon. The mother died at the age of forty-one years. The family numbered six children, of whom five are yet living.
After acquiring his education in the schools of Davis county Charles H. Barton entered upon his active business life in connection with mercantile interests in the employ of his father and uncle, with whom he remained between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years. He then removed to Ogden and was connected with the Utah Loan & Trust Company for a period of eight years. He next became identified with the First National Bank of Ogden as a bookkeeper and later was promoted to the position of head teller, thus serving until the 6th of February, 1907, when he left the First National to become the cashier and manager of the Ogden Savings Bank, in which connection he has since continued. He has contributed much to the growth of the institution and to the establishment of its business upon a most stable and progressive basis.
The bank is capitalized for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, now has a surplus of equal amount and undivided profits of ten thousand dollars, while its deposits reach one million, four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, The bank was established in 1889 and has enjoyed a successful existence. At the time Mr. Barton became connected with the institution it was capitalized for seventy-five thousand dollars and had no surplus, while its undivided profits amounted to thirteen thousand dollars and its deposits to seven hundred thousand dollars. Within twelve years, owing in no small measure to the efforts of Mr. Barton, the business of the bank has doubled, its capital stock has also been doubled and its surplus has reached one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
On the 12th of June, 1894, Mr. Barton was married to Miss Millie Bonnemortt of Kaysville, Utah, and they have become the parents of three children: Harmon B., twenty-three years of age, who was an ensign in the United States navy, having served two years during the period of the war, and is now attending the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a student at the outbreak of the war; Mildred Mary, who attended high school and the State University and the University of Michigan; and Blanche Dorothy, who is a junior in the high school.
Mr. Barton has taken a most active and helpful interest in war work, was chairman of the United War Work drive, and head of the Armenian and Syrian Relief. He is a man of most benevolent spirit and gives largely to benevolent and philanthropic purposes, yet his gifts are entirely without ostentation. He belongs to the Ogden Golf and Country Club and to the Rotary Club and perhaps his most notable work outside of financial circles has been as president of the Weber Club and as president of the Publicity Bureau, in which latter connection he did notable work in securing the establishment of several valuable industrial and manufacturing enterprises in Ogden. It was through the efforts of this bureau that the Sperry Flour Company built its plant in Ogden, also the Globe Grain & Milling Company, both of which secured title to their sites through the efforts of the Publicity Bureau. This Publicity Bureau with Mr. Barton at its head has also been the earnest champion of good roads and secured the improvement of many miles of public highways. One who knows Charles H. Barton well spoke of him, in the parlance of the day, as "the livest wire in Ogden."
He has been at the head of many splendid philanthropic and charitable movements . and a magnetic personality well qualifies him for the position of leadership that has been accorded him. 'He has done much to shape public thought and action along the lines of progress and improvement and Ogden has every reason to regard him as one of her most valuable citizens.
