Inscription. Judge Abram C. Hatch, District Attorney for Utah's Fourth Judicial District-which includes Utah, Uintah, and Wasatch Counties-stands as a remarkable example of a self-educated, self-made man. Among his many accomplishments, he built the first telephone line into Wasatch County, significantly advancing local communication. Judge Hatch also played a prominent role in the mining industry, serving as president of several mining corporations. In 1879, he married Maria Luke, and together they raised four children. During his long residence in Heber City, Judge Hatch held numerous public positions, including Town Council member, Justice of the Peace, and County Attorney. Judge Hatch's tenure as District Attorney was marked by exceptional service and widespread approval, not only from his party but also from the broader community. Throughout his career, he maintained a comfortable home in Heber City, where his legacy as a dedicated public servant and community leader continues to be remembered.
