His father was one of American Fork's early settlers and was well liked as a neighbor and business man. having" run a grocery and butchjer shop for many years. He was also a mason by trade. His mother was a faithful teacher ln the Relief society for a number of years and for some time held the position of counselor to Sister Eli zabeth Durrant ln that organization. Both father and mother embraced the Gospel in their native lands and emigrated to Zlon to be with the Saints of God. He attended the schools ln American Fork, and also Brigham Young Academy, and was well liked by his associates and friends.

To this happy union eight children were born: John, Earl, Ida, Herbert, Dell, Jesse, Elva and Jennie, two of whom have passed to the Great Beyond. "Uncle Freddie", as he was loving ly known, was a contractor and mason ma-son by trade, having learned the trade from both father and latner- in-law. His four sons are also following fol-lowing the same trade. They were educated by their Tather to do good work so that other jobs would be assured. He came up through the degrees of the priesthood, being an Elder at the time of his death. He was of a very cheerful and accomodating disposition. He assisted assist-ed in the erection of a good many of the business places in American Fork,, and also in Idaho, San Francisco Fran-cisco and other cities. He was noted for his splendid work, both at home and abroad. The Alpine stake tabernacle tab-ernacle demonstrates this fact, and is a monument to his efficiency. His honesty was never questioned, as his word was always as good as his bond. He was quiet and retiring in his riknnsition. vet he had faith in the Gospel and loved to see his children take part in the church. wp was & devoted husband and father, ever thinking of the comfort and happiness of his family.

Evidence of the great interest being be-ing taken ln the election is the report re-port of nearly 100 per cent registration regis-tration in the various districts. Last Tuesday, -the final registration day, saw scores of voters call on their registration agent to register and become be-come eligible to vote at the election next Tuesday. Both Republican and Democratlo parties featured "big shows" as part of the campaign here. The Republicans Republi-cans presented prominent candidates on their ticket at a rally Friday of last week, and the Democrats will stage a stmt rally this morning. Up until the. election day, however, the campaign is expected to be conducted conduct-ed more on the basis of personal contacts with voters, and election talk is of major interest everywhere. Both parties have presented strong tickets, resulting in the prediction of a close race between candidates for each position. From both sides voters have heard points in favor of the parties, candidates, and policies, but little "mudsllnging" has been indulged ln. Registration agnts report that there is considerable misunderstand ing concerning the general election this fall as the result of the require ment ln the primary elections to vote a "straight" ticket. The impression Is that it is necessary to follow the same plan ln the final election. It is pointed out, however, that it is not necessary to vote a straight party ticket next Tuesday, "scratching" In the general election being permitted as it always has been. Another misunderstanding is that, If a voter failed to vote ln the primary pri-mary election, he may not vote la the general election. As long as the voter is properly registered, be may vote next Tuesday regardless of whether or not he voted to the primary pri-mary elections. v Sons, Dads Await Venison Banquet For Second Ward Last preparations for the Fathers and Sons' banquet are being completed com-pleted by Scout and Explorer leaders lead-ers of the Second ward, in anticipation antici-pation of a "real good time" tonight.
