THOMAS BARTHELEMY CARDON

Thomas Barthelemy Cardon is the son and ninth child of Martha Marie Tourn and Philip (Philippe) Cardon. Born in Prarostino, Turin, Italy on August 28th 1842. He married Lucy Smith November 13, 1871 in Logan, Utah.

1) Married to Lucy SMITH on November 13th 1871 2) Married to Amalie Bolette Jensine JENSEN on July 24th 1884 3) Married to Ella Clarinda HINCKLEY on June 24th 1885

Thomas B. Cardon settled at Logan in 1867 and established the first watch making and jewelry store in the Valley where Ruchti, the tailor, was located, west of First North. In 1872 he added to it photography and a fine art gallery. Being of an enterprising nature he branched out in 1881, erected a large three-story cut stone and brick building, now occupied by the Logan Hardware Company. It was the first business house of this size in the city. Here also the Thatcher Bank opened its banking establishment, the first in the Valley.

Mr. Cardon by nature was an artist and possessed an artistic temperament. He was born in Italy, the land of art and genius, and this native instinct was brought into his profession as photographer and jeweler. For years his photographs adorned many of the homes in the Valley and many of his watches are still in evidence. That this native artistic disposition was transmitted to his children is very evident from the appearance of the business houses represented by them in the city at present.

Children: Thomas LeRoy Cardon, Edna Lucy Cardon Langton, Eugene Cardon, Elmer Cardon, Ariel Frederick Cardon, Margaret (Grehta) Cardon Rechow, Bartlie Temple Cardon, Orson Guy Cardon, Phillippe Vincent Cardon, Alice Lucile Cardon, Claire Cardon Sullivan

T. B. Cardon Dead. Passing Away of One of Logan's Most Highly Respected Citizens.

T. B. Cardon Dead. Passing Away of One of Logan's Most Highly Respected Citizens. The hand of death has again been thrust into our midst, and has plucked from amongst us one whom, not only his family, but the entire community, will miss and mourn for. Thomas B. Cardon passed away at his home on Tuesday evening after an illness (unreadable) reached its culmination in an attack of pneumonia which developed recently, and was the stated cause of death.

Nervous prostration, brought on by worry over business reverses which a less honest man than he would not have noticed, which had weakened his body and made it an easy prey to disease, was the real cause of death.

He built up a magnificent business here, and then when the panic came a few years ago he lost it all, simply because he gave every man the credit for being as honest as he was himself. He never recovered from the shock of the affair, but fell prey to needless worry; for no man in Logan would have deemed Thomas B. Cardon's word less than his bond. But the strain was too great; the magnificent brain wore itself out and the big, honest heart of Thomas B. Cardon was stilled forever. He leaves a wife and family behind him; who will miss him as much, but will treasure within their hearts the memory of his worth and goodness.

A biographical sketch of Mr. Cardon was partly prepared for this issue, but was with held at the request of relatives, in order to obtain some additional information in regard to his life. The funeral services will be held at one o'clock on Friday, in the tabernacle.
