A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
Obituary. William J. Tuddenham, Utah pioneer and prominent for may years in business, civic and religious circles, died Wednesday at the family home, 663 Second avenue. Mr. Tuddenham was born May 27, 1848, in England, and came to Utah in 1864, after having joined the L.D.S. church, crossing the plains by ox team. He engaged in the contracting business and built some of the first smelters in Utah, including the Mingo, Germania and Hanauer. He was also prominent in the construction of the early smelters at Pueblo, Colo. In Salt Lake, Mr. Tuddenham erected some of the large public buildings and later supervised the construction of the Hotel Utah and the Deseret National Bank building. He was one of the organizers of both the Salt Lake Pressed Brick company and the Zion's Benefit Building society, serving on the directorate of the latter concern until his death. Mr. Tuddenham served three successive terms in the old city council and later, under the commission form of government, was street supervisor. He was counselor to the bishop of the Twenty-first ward for a number of years, and, upon the death of Bishop Marcellus S. Wooley, was made bishop of the ward. In this capacity he served until 1925.
