John Fell Squires (1846-1933): News Article



John Fell Squires was my 2nd great grandfather.

I found this article in the Logan, Utah Herald Journal from 2003.  Apparently the owners of the house of John Fell Squires wanted to tear it down.  A historic committee had to decide whether to allow this or to preserve this house in Logan, Utah of a historic figure from Logan's past.  I'm not sure what was decided on the house but I found the information about my 2nd great grandfather very interesting.

Among the interesting things was that he was the first ranger Cache National Forest.  He had also worked as a barber like his father John Paternoster Squires  (although it sounds like he didn't really enjoy that work.)
