The Husbands, continued

John Wallace Boud. We learn of this man from the history of the 15th ward, LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, his grandson's account in 'Call Back Yesterday' and his obituary. John Boud was born in Keokuk, Iowa; his mother, Rebecca Bailey Boud, had been widowed about a month after the death of husband and father John William Boud, in a steamboat explosion on the Mississippi river. They were Mormon immigrants from England, like the Pollard family. John Wallace was the third child, but only his mother and older brother Edwin welcomed his birth. They would remain in Iowa, and John was baptised in the Mississippi river when 8 years old. The widow Boud married William Bacon with whom she had six children from 1858 to 1868, all in Keokuk.
Assisting in the needs of home John sold newspapers and learned the trade of iron molder at a foundry where his stepfather worked. This trade he would follow in Salt Lake City after 1878. While first settling in Spring City with his wife the need to feed, clothe and shelter his family brought them back to the city and he joined the pioneer iron manufacturer Davis Howe company. He remained there his entire career.
John Wallace Boud was ordained bishop in 1910 by Joseph F Smith for the 15th ward where he served for 16 years. Widowed in 1933, John Wallace Boud passed away at the home of his daughter Jan 7, 1942.

Thomas Clayton Holding. An account included in the posting on www.findagrave.com states that Thomas Holding was born on Jun 3, 1859, to Sarah Middleton Holding, wife of Daniel Holding. It notes that Daniel Holding had passed away about 2 years before and probably Thomas was the child of Mrs Holding and Thomas Clayton. With Mrs Holding moving between Wednesbury and Chester, England the exact birthplace is not confirmed in this source.
A history of Spanish Fork, Utah informs us that Thomas Holding was manager of the shoe manufacturer associated with ZCMI there and his obituary refers to Thomas being "in the shoe industry most of his life." Wife and mother Lovina Pollard Holding passed away in Spanish Fork in 1896. Thomas Holding married Catherine Davis, later divorcing. He died with pneumonia Dec 7, 1934.
