Joseph sone of Jacob Bachman and Anna Hegetschweiler.
Joseph Bachman was born 8 Feb 1868 in Eden Weber Co.
Utah. He had little schooling for the
schools were run so different in those days.
A poor man with a large family couldn’t get money to pay the tuition as
it had to be paid every month and money was almost unknown to poor people.
He started to work in the mountains cutting logs for a
sawmill at the age of 14. He was large
and strong for his age and he did that hard work for a good many years until
the mills had to close as the timber was all cut in the canyons and mountains
in that valley.
Joseph then bought a farm in Eden and was a successful
farmer and kept on at farming and working for the S.P.R.R. Co. Until 1937 when
he sold his farm as his health and age would not permit him to carry on.
He was a very busy man always in a hurry but always had
time to help the poor, the widows and orphans and give an encouraging
word. He married Margaret McBride 8 Dec.
1890 and from that union 11 children were born, 7 sons and 4 daughters. Five of them have passed on. H and his wife raised 2 orphan boys to
manhood. Both of them are married and
have families. Four of our children are
married and have families.
Joe, as he was called, held many positions in the church
and held all the different degrees of priesthood. He was: ward teacher for years, assistant
superintendent of Sunday School, a teacher in the Young Men’s Mutual, Sunday
School teacher, Aaronic Priesthood teacher.
Four sons went on missions, one son, Gainer went to World War I and it
was the hardest mission of all, he was overseas 13 months. Six children finished college.
H was always trying to do things in the town where he was
born, and raised. He was president of
the Eden Irrigation Co., president of the town’s water system, and worked on
the line until it was completed. He
always provided a good home for his family and they were always provided for
. The family lived in Eden for many
years. One son occupies the old family
home for Joe bought a small place in Clearfield, Utah and it is the family home
now.
Joseph was baptized 5 July 1877 by Peter Johnson and
confirmed by Enoch Burns the same day in Eden.
Ordained and [sic] Elder 29 Mar, 1886; ordained a Seventy 15 April 1909
by J. Golden Kimball, in Eden; ordained a High Priest 25 March 1928 by
Ellsworth J. Weaver Ogden 4th Ward.
Patriarchal blessing given by Edward A. Olsen 13 May 1931 in Ogden.
He took a stroke 16 Oct 1938 and had to sell the place in
Clearfield and moved back to Ogden as his health was so poor. 2 May 1940 had another stroke and was bed
fast until 9 May 1940 and passed away at his home 465-20th Ogden. He was buried in the family plot in Eden,
Weber Co 11 May 1940. Services were
conducted in the 4th Ward chapel.

Research Notes:
Emma's brother, Joseph, had the most children. I was interested in Joseph because I had exchanged letters with two of his children in the 1970's, Comfort and Rex (who went by J.R.). J.R. wrote to me that his father Joseph was the last owner of Verena and Henry's home in Ogden. I've been wanting to place just where that home was located in Ogden and thought that checking census records on Joseph would give me the answer, but I'm beginning to think that, while Joseph owned Verena's old home, he never lived there. I think Joseph "owned properties". After leaving Eden, Joseph and family appeared to have lived in a number of houses. In researching Joseph, I found some newspaper articles and obituaries about the family, the saddest being about daughter Velva dying in a car crash in Hawaii and Halvy dying suddenly at a young age just after serving a 4-year mission in New Zealand (where my mission was).
On a happier note, I found out more about J.R.-- He wrote a book about the sugar industry in Utah, was chairman of the fundraising committee that built the David O'McKay hospital in Weber County, and he was grand marshal of Ogden's Pioneer Day Parade one year. Both Comfort and Velva were teaching in Hawaii at the time of Velva's death. Comfort accompanied Velva's body back to Eden. Comfort appeared to have returned again to Hawaii. I'm betting that she met and married her military-decorated husband, Mr. Bock, there. Did Comfort have children? She also taught at Ogden High School.
