Collection Name Great Depression in Weber County Oral Histories
Description The Great Depression in Weber County, Utah, is an Oral History Project by Mack S. Taft for completion of his Master's Thesis at Utah State University during the summer of 1969. The interviews address the Great Depression through the eyes of individuals in several different occupations including: Bankers, Laborers, Railroad Workers, Attorneys, Farmers, Educators, Businessmen, Community and Church Leaders, Housewives, Children and Physicians. All of these individuals lived in Weber County from 1929 to 1941. The interviews were based on what they remembered about the depression, how they felt about those events and how it affected their life then and now.
Abstract This is an oral history interview with Ira Huggins. Mr. Huggins, a former state senator, describes practicing law and serving in the legislature during the Depression. He also discusses the overinvestment of the Ogden State Bank in agriculture and livestock, leading to its close.
