Thatcher Brothers Banking Company safety deposit boxes, 1889-1929.

The papers in this collection were removed from various safety deposit boxes once housed in the Thatcher Brothers Banking Company of Logan, Utah. For an unknown reason these safety deposit boxes were opened on January 29, 1935, most likely due to unpaid fees. The papers in this collection relate to George Buckley (1875-1951), John Myler (1873-1940), Alice B. Cowdery, Eli J. Bell (1866-1923), Eras Ricks (1853-1933), Lyman E. Sorenson (1883-1953), and Eugene Santschi (1883-1953), all one-time residents of Cache Valley. The materials in this collection consist of personal (correspondence, marriage licenses, etc.) and financial papers (land and property holdings, insurance, stock certificates, wills, etc.) of the above-mentioned people. Of particular interest are the papers of Lt. Eugene Santschi, which discuss his duties as an Army quartermaster at Fort Douglas, Utah, and his military travels in China during 1912-1914. Fd 22 contains a detailed report (with photographs) prepared by Santschi discussing his tour of the Manchurian battlefields of the Russo-Japanese War, led by Japanese counterparts.
