George William The casket draped In the folds of In Glory and completely covered with Jeutiful flowers, the body of Private Carl Peterson, first Castle Dale soldier boy to offer the supreme sacrifice, was laid to rest in the local cemetery following brief but eloquent open-a- ir nerviees on the south side of the local meetinghouse last Thursday afternoon. The funeral was not widely attended, dm no doubt, to the contradictory re- ports of the arrival of the body, the I sickness prevalent-ithis and other I towns of the county, and to the idea I that the young man died of a disease. This idea was unmis-- 1 takeably dispelled by an official label I affixed to the box in which the casket was shipped. Elder Seth Allen was the sole speaker at the funeral but the tribute he paid to tne memory or me young man was one not soon to be, forgotten by those who were gathered to pay their last respects. His talk was such us could not help but console those bereaved while, at the same time, ha made a fervent appeal to his hearers to rally always to the call of our counId remarking that the greatest try, tri- bute we coud pay the winner of the first gold star on our service flag was to back up what he has started. Carl had been born here in bur own town, he had been reared here, attended ourl schools, roamed our hills, plowed our fields, and though he now came to us shrouded in Old Glory, the bereaved parents should be happy that he was going to his grave as a soldier of the only country worth living for or dying for. The lad had not been granted the privilege of carrying his fight to the land made desolate and unlovely by the barbarism of the hun, but, whether in France, pr, elsewhere, all any one may do Is to give his life for his country, and this is what Carl had done. The ed for limited service. On October 2 he, with Denzil Jacobsen and Arnold Christensen of Emery and Myron Robertson of Orangeville, were sent to Fort Logan. Colo., to prepare for various duties at draft headquarters. He had not been in camp two weeks before word came that he was seriously ill with pneumonia and last Saturday a wire came that he had died the night before. There was some g delay In the body here from the camp and other little considerations were lacking, probably on account of the prevalence of the influenza epidemic in that vicinity, it appears that the other boys 'vho accompanied Carl. to camp are out on a prolonged hike and were out of touch with him. The deceased is survived by both Parents and the following brothers and Isters: Alonzo N., (registered and accepted at last week's examinations.) vern ship-Pin- U, Orvel. Lola, Zelda. and Fer-rei- l.

Shiner was born February 11, 1816, four miles east of Winchester, Virginia. His father was born in 1797 in the the same town and county, as also was his mother, who was born in 1800. His father left Virginia when the subject of this sketch was only a few months old and stopped for the winter m Ohio, coming on to Doublin, Indiana, In 1836. They lived In Wayne, Clay, and Vigo counties until 1848 when they moved to Lindon, Illinois, where the father died. The same year George William went to Buckingham, Iowa, there becoming acquainted with Janet Lefler, whom he married November 4, 1856. He, Sun-"V'sld- - fuit setting them together again. '. SHOULD BE VOTED YES' The people of Utah have had a very thorough acquaintance with the benefits of statewide prohibition during the past fourteen months and no argument Is needed to emphasize the Importance of voting "Yes" on the amendment to the state constitution that will guarantee statewide prohibition for time to come. Tou will have the privilege of thus voting at the approaching election, the statewide prohibition amendment being designated as number one. Amendment number two also needs little argument as the Justice of the idea of lifting some of the taxation burden from the small householder is recognized by everyone. Present conditions throw a disproportionately heavy burden on the owner of the small home and a few chattels. He has nothing to hide and could not hide it. If he would, and, as a result, he has been bearing a burden altogether out of proportion to his better fixed neigh bor. Amendment number two would eive the legislature power to enact laws that would exempt property from taxation up to certain specified limits. Read the amendment for yourself and you will readily agree that it Is a measure that any voter can well afford to favor. The third amendment to be voted uDon. that providing for a new basis for the taxation of mines, Is very slmi- ral to the amendment submitted to the people two years ago and defeated by one of the most dlsgaceful campaigns waged by corporate interests that was The brag was later over known. made that $88,000 had been spent by the mining Interests to defeat the Jaw, but they considered it very well spent at that for It saved them hundreds of thousands In honest taxes which they should have paid and thus made unnecessary the pitiful stuggle which the schools have had forced upon them the last three years. And the dollars are at work again this fall as any one might see by the with his wife, went back to Illinois, there to settle up the estate of his father of which he was administrator, and then, in the fall of 1858, moved to Buckingham, where they lived until April, 1868. It was here that he enlisted in Company G, 14th Iowa infantry on January 1, 1864, leaving home on January 19. He was mustered into service on the 23rd day of January, same year, by Colonel Grear at Camp McCIellan, Davenport, Iowa, and left for the south on the 2nd of February. He reached foolishnesses.

He attended the local schools and grew to young manhood here, well liked by all those with whom he came In contact. He had devoted himself to farming for the most part though he had spent the past two or yiree winters at the nearby camps where he enjoyed the reputation of an excellent workman. He was especially known for his love and respect for his parents, showing his mother marked consideration at dances and parties where they were in each other's company.

Her children were all present and six sons acted as her husband and three daughters fojlowlng, and over eighty of her blood relatives three brothers, one sister, grandchildren, nephews, and nieces, etc. in the procession. Her childhood friends were here from The Castle Dale and Orangeville. flowers were of the most beautiful and there was a wagonload of them some from hundreds of miles away and many were received the day following the funeral. The grave was decorated and a picture taken of t, after which the flowers were made up into bouquets and divided among the relatives and friends. The deceased was a daughter of, the late George W. and "Aunt" Jane Johnson, Intimate friends of the Prophet Joseph Smith.

This to the second class she has had here. Members of the first class have made themselves useful In our ward for several years and have done good service. W hope the members of this class will do likewise. We need them and Uncle Sam needs them too. Our stockmen are all on the mountain this week for a general roundup of the stock. Many of the cattle have come down and more coming today and tomorow. The stock is looking fairly well. All our gatherings are closed churches, schools, auxiliary organizations, etc., on account of the "flu" epidemic although we have none as yet and hope we shall not have.

He is putIs in ay ting In full time and appreciates the compliment to him. He was ready lo return as he had expected when he came. A heavy storm passed over our town during the early hours of Thursday morning, and during the day two or three other light showers followed, making plenty of wet and lots of mud. stopping the work of harvesting and threshing. The school boys and girls certainly helped the Red Cross in the linen shower and we appreciate very much the part they took to aid in getting so many articles for the wounded soldiers in France to make them more comfortable and showing our appreciation to them for what they are doing for us. The following articles were given: Hand towels, 63; bath towels, 47; napkins, 22; handkerchiefs 78; wash rags, etc., 6; combs, 1; total, . 206 pieces. . , |
