Hugh C. Wood
Hugh C. Wood
Mr. Hugh C. Wood was born in Salt
Lake City, Utah, September 5th, 1874. His father was the late J.
D. Wood, prominent in mining and livestock circles in the
inter-mountain region. His mother was Catherine Wood, who was a
pioneer in the early history of Denver, Salt Lake City and
Virginia City, Montana.
Mr. Wood's primary education was
acquired in the public schools of Idaho and later he spent two
years at All Hallow's College in Salt Lake City, and completed
his education at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana.
In 1899 he married Rosa Hulaniski of
Ogden, Utah, a daughter of Hon. E. T. Hulaniski. The union has
been a happy one and is abundantly blessed by two sons, David
Edmond and Francis Hugh, and a daughter, Marcia.
Since leaving college Mr. Wood has
been prominently and actively identified in the various
interests held by his father, J. D. Wood, and his brother, F. J.
Hagenbarth. He maintains a summer home at Spencer, Idaho, where
he is largely interested in the Wood Live Stock Company, and the
Wood-Hagenbarth Cattle Company.
Mr. Wood has never held any political
office except that of com missioner of Labor in the State of
Idaho, though he has at all times been prominently identified
with the interests of and been an active worker in the ranks of
the Republican party of Idaho.
Mr. Wood and his wife are both of a
social bent and are well known in society circles both in Ogden
and Salt Lake City. He is a member of the Alta Club of this
city, and has attained a high rank in the Masonic fraternity,
having taken all but the last degree.
At the present time Mr. Wood is
vice-president and assistant manager of the Wood Live Stock
Company, vice-president of the Wood-Hagenbarth Cattle Company,
treasurer and director of the J. D. Wood Company and holds
directorships or official positions in many of the larger mining
companies of this State and Nevada. He is a young man and has
early fulfilled the promise of a bright youth, and as history is
made he will no doubt enroll his name high among the illustrious
native sons of the West.
