Charles Wilson Nibley (1849-1931) was born in Scotland, but moved to the United States
in 1855. He lived with his family on a farm in Rhode Island before moving to Cache
Valley in 1860. Charles became a prominent business man and entrepreneur of Cache
Valley. He was employed by the Central Pacific Railroad as station manager and by the
Utah Northern Railroad as general freight and passenger agent. He also found success in
the lumber business when David Eccles,George Stoddard and he founded the Oregon Lumber
Company. Later in life he became involved with both the Amalgamated Sugar Company and
the Utah and Idaho Sugar Company. Nibley was also active in the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints. He became a General Authority, served as Presiding Bishop under
President Joseph F. Smith, and served as a second counselor to President Heber J. Grant.
His personal life revolved around his three wives, Rebecca Neibaur, Ellen Ricks, and
Julia Budge, and the 24 children they would have.
