Henry H. Blood

Henry Hooper Blood (October 1, 1872 – June 19, 1942) was a prominent businessman and the 7th Governor of Utah. He served as governor from 1933 to 1941.

He was born in Kaysville, Utah, to William Hooper Blood, a farmer and city councilman, and Jane Wilkie Hooper. Blood attended local schools and the Brigham Young Academy in Provo. He married Minnie Barnes in 1896 and they had four children. Blood was president of the LDS North Davis Stake for twenty-two years and was a manager of Kaysville Milling Company as well as directing some banks and other companies. When he was nominated by the Democratic Party for the Governor of Utah in 1932, he accepted and beat William W. Seegmiller, a former legislator. However, Blood was a lifelong conservative.

During the Depression, Blood helped to push a sales tax and promoted tourism. In January 1941 Blood served as a mission president in California for the LDS Church. He died in Salt Lake City the next year following a brief illness.
