Biographical History

The Silver Brothers Iron Works began with William J. Silver, an early Mormon pioneer, born in London, England, who founded one of the earliest foundries and machine shops in Utah. The company created many significant works, such as the cast oxen for the Salt Lake City LDS Temple and the iron fence surrounding the Brigham Young cemetery. Silver's three sons took over the company and renamed it the Silver Brothers Iron Works and began to manufacture machinery for Utah's sugar beet industry. Around the beginning of World War I, the bank foreclosed on the company due to debt and other losses. James Watson Silver moved to Ogden and founded the Ogden Iron Works, which manufactured machinery for the sugar beet and mining industries. Ogden Iron Works went out of business in 1991.
