Monday, 23 April 1934
Irvin Thaddeus Alvord, aged 74, early Weber county resident and retired business man of Ogden, died in a hospital at six o'clock this morning, following a long illness. In October 1923, Mr. Alvord suffered a paralytic stroke, from which he had never recovered.
He was born in Springville, April 28, 1860, a son of Simon and Jane Blanchard Alvord. His father came with the pioneers of 1847, and his mother walked across the plains with pioneers of 1852.
Mr. Alvord, although only a small boy, never forgot any of the hardships and Indian depredations suffered by the pioneers. He remembered the fort wall built in Springville as a protection against the Indians and it was to this fort that his parents, grandparents and many of the settlers of Weber county moved for safety against the invasion of Johnson's army, leaving their homes and growing crops to find that the army proved a blessing as it brought food and other necessities.
In 1864 Mr. Alvord's parents moved to North Ogden and in 1869 established a permanent home in Pleasant View. He received his education in the Weber county schools and later took a normal course at the university in Salt Lake City. He taught school in the Central High School and also taught in Plain City and Eden. He was an active member of the L.D.S. Church and served in prominent positions in church organizations.
He was the Pleasant View ward clerk, teacher in the Sunday school, secretary of the Y.M.M.I.A., and ward missionary. He also organized a civil government class and served as instructor of the same. He led in the community as an organizer of social and dramatic activities.
He was a farmer and orchardist of Pleasant View and later bought an interest in the Bramwell Product company in Ogden. In the early 90's he invented and patented the Little Wonder vacuum washing machine. In 1906 Mr. Alvord sold his farm in Pleasant View and moved to Ogden, where he ran a second-hand store for many years.
While in Ogden he took an active part in the Second ward Sunday school and other church duties. In 1921 he moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, where he invested in real estate, later going to Benton, Harbor, Mich., where he devoted his time to writing. He published a book on political economy and government reform.
He was married in the Logan temple November 18, 1885, to Sylvia Stone, who died in 1925. Later he was married to Carrie W. Alvord, who survives him.
He is also survived by five children of the first marriage—Irving V. Alvord, A.A. Alvord, of Ogden; Friend LeRoy Alvord, of Denver; Mrs. LeRoy DeFrost, of New York, and Mrs. M.M. Silvera, of Menlo Park, Calif. There are also five grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Lenora Bothwell and Mrs. Jeanette Brown, both of Pleasant View.
Services will be held Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock in Lindquist & Sons chapel, with Bishop H.L. Jensen of Pleasant View presiding…. Interment will be made in the North Ogden cemetery.
