BRUCE TAGGART.
Bruce Taggart, a merchant of Cowley, conducting a well appointed store, was born in Utah on the 10th of February, 1890, a son of George H. and Jessie (McNiven) Taggart, the former a native of Iowa, while the latter was born in Scotland. Both located in Utah in 1847 and later were married in that state. In 1900 they removed to Cowley, Wyoming, and the father there engaged in farming. He is also a carpenter and contractor who is identified with building operations in Cowley and at the same time he continues to carry on his agricultural interests. To him and his wife were born sixteen children and with one exception all are yet living. Bruce Taggart was a little lad of ten years at the time of the removal of the family from Utah to Wyoming, where he continued his public school education that had been begun in the schools of the former state. He passed through consecutive grades to the high school and after his graduation therefrom he became a pupil in the State University of Utah. When his education was completed he turned his attention to merchandising, which he followed in Cowley, and he now has a well appointed store which is liberally patronized by reason of the fact that he carries an attractive line of goods, puts forth every effort to please his customers and is strictly fair and reliable in his dealings. He also owns an irrigated farm in Bighorn county and considerable city property. He is likewise interested in a confectionery store in Cowley and ranks with the representative business men of his section of the state. Mr. Taggart belongs to the Commercial Club and takes a deep and active interest in everything that has to do with the welfare and progress of the community. He maintains an independent attitude in politics and he is a member of the town council, doing all in his power to further public welfare and aid in the upbuilding and development of the section of the state in which he makes his home.
