Frank Croxford, a wide-awake and alert business man of Evanston, acting as manager for the Reed Brothers Harness Company, was born in Pleasant Grove, Utah, April 5, 1884, a son of William and Hannah (Lovesdale) Croxford, who were natives of England and came to America in middle life, following their marriage. The father engaged in the meat business and spent his last days in Utah, passing away at Pleasant Grove in 1906. The mother survives and is now living at Magna, Utah. Their family numbered two children, the younger being Blanchard Croxford.
    Frank Croxford attended school in Utah, completing a high school course at Pleasant Grove, after which he removed to Uinta Basin and began work as an apprentice to the harnessmaking trade. He removed to Evanston in August, 1916, in order to take charge of the interests of the Reed Brothers Harness Company of Ogden, Utah, and now as manager is in control of one of the leading stores of this kind in western Wyoming. Mr. Croxford came to Evanston for the purpose of developing the business with a view to later purchasing it.
    On the 8th of August, 1908, Mr. Croxford was married to Miss Minnie Taylor, a daughter of Alma and Celia Taylor, who were pioneer settlers of Uinta Basin but have now passed away. Mr. and Mrs. Croxford have become the parents of three children: Vaughn, born in Uinta county in 1913; Owen, in 1914; and Reed, in December, 1916.
    In politics Mr. Croxford is a democrat but has never been an aspirant for public office. He belongs to the Mormon church and is interested in all that has to do with the material and moral progress of his community. In a business way he has advanced steadily through his individual efforts, capably meeting his responsibilities and at all times improving the opportunities that have come to him. He has made for himself a creditable position in the commercial circles of Evanston.
