Sumner Gray Margetts was born in 1893 in Salt Lake City to Harry Sumner Margetts 
and Alice Rumel. In 1920 while Sumner G. Margetts was a student at the University of 
Utah he became interested in tile drainage as a means of reclaiming water logged farm 
lands. After graduating from the U of U he designed and built a drainage machine 
which digs the trench, lays the tile, under pressure, and puts a gravel screen 
completely around the tile drain. Sumner Margetts founded the company in 1920 which 
bears his name. Since his passing early in 1955 the comapny has since been 
incorporated and intends to carry on the business which he founded. Over time the 
firm would come to incorporate several other local Utah engineers, such as: James R. 
Barker, a well known irrigation engineer, who was with the Utah State Agricultural 
College Extension Service as the State Irrigation Specialist. Eldon M. Stock, who was 
head of the Civil Engineering Department at the Utah State Agricultural College. And 
Douglas D. Stewart, son-in-law of Sumner G. Margetts. The firm operated all 
throughout Utah and Southern Idaho.
