HISTORY OF WYOMING
born at Port Sanilac on the 10th of October, 1869, and is a son of William and Elizabeth (Wright) Williams, both of whom went to Michigan from Toronto, Canada, spending their remaining days at Port Sanilac, where the father engaged in business as a stationary engineer. He died in the year 1910, while his wife passed away in 1908. In their family were four children.
Fred H. Williams of this review was the third in order of birth. Through his boyhood days he attended the schools of Michigan and after completing a high school course in his native city he entered the Valparaiso (Ind.) University, from which he was graduated with the class of 1889. He then turned his attention to a business career, which has taken him to various places. He came to the west in 1892 and made his way first to Oregon, being employed as a bookkeeper at Huntington. There he remained for six years and subsequently he was employed by an express company for seven years, being stationed at various places. Later he entered the service of the Becker Brewing Company at Ogden, Utah, in 1906 and there remained until October, 1917, when he removed to Evanston, Wyoming, to take charge of the large plant which had just been erected by the company in Evanston. This is an extensive and modern brewing plant in which all new machinery has been installed, and it is one of the most thoroughly up-to- date business enterprises of the kind in the state, having a capacity of fifty thousand barrels annually. In addition to the manufacture of beer there is a large bottling department and fine office building. The most sanitary conditions exist and as manager Mr. Williams is giving direct supervision to the business, which is conducted along progressive lines, while the most scientific processes are used in the manufacture of the product.
On the 4th of June, 1897, in Huntington, Oregon, Mr. Williams was united in marriage to Miss Mabel Richards, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Richards. Mr. and Mrs. Williams have one child, Gladys, who was born in Huntington in 1898 and is a graduate of the high school of Evanston.
Fraternally Mr. Williams is a Mason and is also connected with the Woodmen of the World. In a business way he has worked steadily upward and the steps in his orderly progression are easily discernible. He has made good use of his time and opportunities and is today active in the control of one of the important and extensive business projects of Evanston.
GLENN J. MORRIS, D. D. S.
Dr. Glenn J. Morris , who has built up a large and lucrative practice in Green River, entered upon his professional career well qualified by thorough prelim- inary study and through his practice his powers have constantly increased, mak- ing him the peer of many of the ablest representatives of the dental profes- sion in Wyoming.
He was born in Memphis, Missouri, March 30, 1885, and is a son of John T. and Annie (Mudd) Morris, both of whom were natives of Missouri and still make their home in Memphis. The father has engaged in farming and stock raising throughout his entire life and is widely and prominently known in the community in which he lives. In his family were five children: Roscoe, Ella, Bess and Henry, who are still residents of Memphis; and Glenn J., of this re- view, who is the eldest child and the only one of the family to leave the state.
In his youthful days Dr. Morris was a pupil in the public schools of Mem- phis, Missouri, passing through consecutive grades and eventually becoming a high school pupil in Denver, Colorado, where in due time he was graduated. He next entered the University of Denver, as a student in the dental depart- ment, and was graduated with the D. D. S. degree as a member of the class of June, 1915. On the completion of his course Dr. Morris made his way direct to Green River, where he opened an office and has since built up a large prac- tice, being recognized as one of the able dental surgeons in this part of the
647
HISTORY OF WYOMING
state. Since his graduation he has kept in touch with the advanced thought and activities of the profession by wide reading and study and also through his mem- bership in the Wyoming State Dental Society. Aside from his professional interests he is treasurer of the Green River Mining Company, a local mining corporation.
On the 23d of June, 1908, Dr. Morris was united in marriage to Miss Eliza- beth McWilliams, of Memphis, Missouri, a daughter of Carl and Jennie (Craw- ford) McWilliams, who are still residents of Missouri.
Dr. Morris is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Benev- olent Protective Order of Elks, and Psi Omega, a dental fraternity. His in- terests are broad and varied and wide reading keeps him in touch with the trend of public thought and opinion. He is a resourceful man and in his practice readily adapts his knowledge to the specific needs of his patients. His office is well equipped and he is most skilled in the use of the many delicate instruments which form a part of the equipment of the dental practitioner. He has never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the west, for here a liberal patronage has been accorded him and Green River has always numbered him among her citizens of worth.
LAWRENCE A. CHEESE, D. D. S.
Dr. Lawrence A. Cheese, actively engaged in the practice of dentistry in Evanston, is one of the younger representatives of the profession, thoroughly in touch with the most advanced scientific methods that underlie the mechanical part of the dentist's work.
He was born in Lenox, Iowa, January 3, 1892, and is a son of John L. Cheese, who was a native of Illinois and of English descent. The family was founded in America by Edward Cheese, the grandfather of Dr. Cheese of this review. John L. Cheese was reared and educated in Illinois and following his marriage removed to Iowa, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits. In Sep- tember, 1898, he removed westward with his family and established his home in Evanston, where he has since been successfully engaged in building operations, being today numbered among the leading building contractors of this city. Evi- dences of his skill and handiwork are seen on all sides and show him to be a master of the trade which has long engaged his attention. His political endorse- ment is given to the republican party and he is one of the active workers in its local ranks. He has served as a member of the city council and at all times stands for those things which are a matter of civic virtue and of civic pride. He mar- ried Fannie C. Loveridge, a native of Alexis, Illinois, and of English descent. They are the parents of five children.
Dr. Cheese had a twin brother, Clarence, who passed away February 4, 1916. Lawrence A. Cheese was educated in the public schools of Evanston having been but six years of age at the time of the removal of the family to this city. He passed through consecutive grades to his graduation from the high school with the class of 1912 and afterward, in preparation for a profes- sional career, he entered the dental department of the Northwestern University at Chicago, Illinois, and won his professional degree upon graduation with the class of 1915. He then returned to Evanston, where he entered upon active practice, and has since devoted his attention to his professional duties, which are constantly growing in volume and importance. He has been accorded the patron- age of many of the best people of the city and his practice is extensive and gratifying. He displays marked mechanical skill and ingenuity, which is always a feature of successful dental practice, and he has, too, an intimate knowledge of the principles of dental science and keeps in touch with the trend of modern professional thought and progress. He has membership in the Wyoming State Dental Society.

HISTORY OF WYOMING
On the 9th of October, 1915, in Evanston, Dr. Cheese was united in mar- riage to Miss Dorothy Feldhahn, a native of Chicago and a daughter of Frederick and Helen Feldhahn, the former now deceased. Dr. and Mrs. Cheese have be- come the parents of two children : Edith Marie, born August 21, 1916; and Clar- ence Raymond, born October. 9, 1917.
The Doctor gives his political allegiance to the republican party and his re- ligious faith is that of the Methodist church. He demands the respect, confi- dence and goodwill of all with whom he is associated by reason of an upright character as well as by reason of his high professional attainments and he is today one of the valued citizens as well as one of the leading dentists of Evanston.
CLARENCE G. SCOTT.
Clarence G. Scott, manager of the Golden Rule Mercantile Company at Su- perior, Sweetwater county, was born on the IIth of January, 1895, in Scotland, Illinois, a son of the late T. D. Scott, who was likewise born in Illinois and be- longed to one of the old families of that state of Irish descent. T. D. Scott was a successful merchant and farmer of Scotland, Illinois, where he resided for many years, there passing away in 1909, at the age of sixty-five years. He mar- ried Jennie Dillon, also a native of Illinois and of Irish lineage. She survives and makes her home in the city of Danville in her native state. In the family were but two children, of whom Kenneth Scott is now in the United States army.
The other son, Clarence G. Scott, was a pupil in the public schools of Dan- ville, Illinois, during the period of his boyhood and youth and when eighteen made his initial step in the business world as a clerk in the employ of the Emory Dry Goods Company of Danville. He there acquainted himself with all branches of the trade and continued with that house for about seven years, on the ex- piration of which period he resigned his position and came to the west to take charge of the store of the Golden Rule Mercantile Company at Superior, Wyo- ming. He arrived in May, 1916, and has since been in charge of the business, which under his direction is steadily growing and is proving a profitable con- cern. His training experience was thorough and his spirit of enterprse is bring- ing about excellent results for the company which he represents.
In politics Mr. Scott is a democrat where national issues are involved but at local elections casts an independent ballot, regarding the capability of the candi- date rather than his party ties. Mr. Scott was made a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks in the lodge at Rock Springs, Wyoming. His re- ligious faith is that of the Methodist church and its teachings guide him in all of life's relations. He is a young man of genuine worth, enjoying the confidence and goodwill of those with whom he has been associated, and all who know him speak of him in terms of high regard.
