Salt Lake and Utah are remarkable for
the large number of formerly we'll known
Michigan men who have shared i'm the
development of the western country. Some
OF the most prominent men in Utah were
from Michigan. Many years ago United
States Senator Thomas w. Ferry and his
brothers William NJ Ferry and Ed +.
Ferry. invested largely in silver mines at
Park city. The two surviving brothers
have lived In the territory and state for
twenty-five years William NJ Ferry
will be recalled in Michigan as once a
prominent Democratic leader, candidate
of the party against his brother for con-
gress. and 2tterward the OConnor can
didate Tor governor in 1872 He is now 81
years Old, and. after considerable bad
luck. has recently struck it rich again
and has an ample fortune.
Ed y. Ferry. the brother, whose de-
voted loyalty TO the senator is so well re-
membered in Michigan, has been in bad
health for some years, worn out by ms
strenuous life. He was always an ardu-
Gus and untiring worker. His properties
are managed by his two sons. who are
counted among the most progressive
Young men On the state Both are grad
