While residing in Mill Creek, Brother Bawden began his career in the Sunday school as a teacher and later, moving to Granger in 1885, he was secretary of the Sunday school in that Ward for two years; he was sustained as superintendent April 3, 1887. While laboring in this capacity he has been very successful and today presides over one of the most modern Sunday schools in the Church. He has been chairman of the Ward Amusement Committee since 1886, and by furnishing amusements for the different Ward associations he has received enough money to defray the Ward expenses. He has been a director in the North Jordan Irrigation Company for twenty-two years and acted as deputy court commissioner (with the special duty of dividing the Jordan river) for a number of years. He is the father of ten children, six sons and four daughters. Two of his sons have been on foreign missions.
