Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
these very busy years for the Hopi general and claims attorney. The Salt Lake Tribune, December 3,1957, had carried a story announcing the formation of the Ideal National Life Insurance Co., "a legal reserve stock company." That issue of the paper also included a full page advertisement offering to "bona fide residents of U t a h a "capital stock offering of 1,500,000 equity units at a price of $1.00per unit." John S. Boyden was Chief Executive Officer, Counsel, and Chairman of the Board for Ideal National. This responsibility also took large amounts of time and required considerable travel over the years as Ideal National acquired interests in other insurance companies in various parts of the country. This experience in business was a change from his usual practice and was an invigorating, stimulating experience in working with businessmen whom he respected and enjoyed. One of the clients John continued to be involved with over a number of years was Big Cottonwood Tanner Ditch, a water company in Holladay. Originally formed for imgation and livestock watering purposes, the company used John's expertise as agreements were worked out with the city and county to convert water to culinary uses as pastures were turned into subdivisions. John also continued to work with several communities in the state such as Kearns, Cedar City, and St. George, and attending to their interests consumed considerable time. Travel as a representative of the Sunday School General Board absorbed a number of weekends during each year and took John to some rather distant places. In addition, the Boyden property and other interests at Coalville were a good place to gather for family, church, business and other interest groups, as the particular occasions arose.
Community Service
John had a reputation as a popular public speaker, and this kept him continually in demand for patriotic occasions, for civic groups and service clubs, for chapters of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers, for ward and stake meetings, etc.
