Thomas E. Logan (b. 1834) arrived in Boise with his wife Carolyn and son Leonard on a wagon train September 2, 1864. Soon after their arrival, Thomas Logan became a partner in the Williams & Logan Drugstore and Gustav Bilick & Logan, a general store on Main Street. In 1869, Logan was appointed Boise’s first Postmaster by President Grant, serving until 1870. Just a few years later, Logan was elected Mayor of Boise, serving from 1873-1875 and again from 1876-1878. Known as “an honest citizen, a kind husband and father and a faithful friend,” Logan passed away in April 1893. Among his pallbearers were the Mayor Peter Sonna, former Governor Stevenson, and Idaho pioneer Isaac Newton Coston who’s first Boise home also stands in Pioneer Village. Logan is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Section 1-57-7. The Logan House, which Thomas Logan lived in during his time as mayor, is now located in the Pioneer Village grounds at the Idaho State Historical Museum, located in Julia Davis Park.
