Marriner and May Eccles reared three children Campbell, John, and Eleanore in this Ogden home at 2541 Van Buren when they were not in the nation's capital. Marriner Eccles, meanwhile, became a successful financier. "At the time of my father's death I had just turned 22," he related. "Since the other eight children born to my mother were still minors, I was cast in the role of a steward for ourhousehold____ As poverty had forced [my father! to bypass youth itself, the sudden need I faced to manage wealth also denied me youth." Despite his responsibilities Marriner decided not to delay marriage. Six months after his father's funeral, he wrote, "I went with my mother to New York to greet my bride-to-be on her arrival from Scotland. She was May (Maysie) Campbell Young, whom I had met at the home of her aunt in Glasgow, where I stayed during the last few months of my tour of duty as a missionary in that city. We never talked religion; she was not my convert." A month after May Campbell arrived in the States, she and Marriner were married. They reared three children to maturity, Campbell, John, and Eleanore, and tragically lost two daughters at a young age: Maysie Ellen, named for her mother and grandmother, died at age three; Marion lived only three days. In the business world, Marriner was encouraged by several of his father's friends, especially Matt Browning, [Sr.], who "was foremost in taking me under his wing." Eccles added, "Other than the Brownings, Ogden was to be the point of contact with other men [who]... were to play important parts in my father's career as well as my own. They were Thomas D. Dee, Joseph Scowcroft, W. FT. Wattis, and his brother, E. 0. Wattis." In beginning his career in banking, Eccles became president of the Hyrum State Bank and a director and vice-president of Thatcher Brothers Banking Company, both in Logan. Then, in 1920, "at the age of 30," he wrote, "I assumed the presidency of the Ogden First National Bank and the Ogden Savings Bank. Combined, they were the largest bank in the city and among the largest in the state." Upon shouldering this responsibility, he and his family moved to Ogden.
