Sunday, at her home of a heart ailment. She had been seriously ill since January, and in poor health since stricken four years ago. Of a congenial and cheerful nature, she was uncomplaining in suffering, and enjoyed the association of her family and friends. It has long been the custom in the family to gather for the parents wedding anniver sary, and since the passing of Mr. Peterson, for her birthday, especially. A faithful worker in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she had served as a teacher in Primary, and as a Re lief Society teacher for several years. She was known by every one as a good neighbor, unselfish and helpful in time of need. Born of pioneer parents in Salt Lake City Nov. 16, 1863, Mrs. Peterson was a daughter of Fred erick and Arnett Halvorsen Pet erson. She was married to Chris Peterson, Feb. 15, 1883, in the Salt Lake Endowment House. They built their home in Lehi, and continued to occupy it through the years. Mr. Peterson passed away 13 years ago. Four sons and four daughters were born to them. All survive and live in Lehi, except one, Mrs. Jennie Parker of American Fork Besides Mrs. Parker, survivors are Mrs. Luella Christofferson, Mrs. Delia Worley, Mrs. Mable Street, and Fred, Norman, Rulon and James LeRoy Peterson, There are 32 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren. Funeral services are being held today (April 29), at 2:00 p. m. in the Fourth ward chapel, with Bishop Lester M. Norberg in charge. Burial will be in the Lehi cemetery. more than fifty years since John and Rebecca nassed away and their children have also passed on. Those of their grandchildren who are still living are no longer voune neoDle. They are grand parents and great-grandparents. As might be expected most oi the members of the family are strangers to each other simply because they have not had opportunity op-portunity to meet and become acouainted. There were about 125 members of the family at this reunion and there were dozens of families with no representative rep-resentative at all in the group. After the meeting the new president, met with his aides to talk about plans for the next year. Here is one oi tneir pians which we are passing on to other families. We hope you will like it. Here is a brief outline of the thing they plan to do. First, they propose to make a collection collec-tion of family photographs. There will be a group photo of the first family reunion that was held after the death of Grandfather Grand-father Pitcher. This happened about 40 years ago. There will be family groups and individual photos of all the original members mem-bers of the family as far as they can be found. If they are avail able there will be pictures of the old pioneer homes as well as the more modern homes of the family. And they will attempt to gather together photographs of every member of the six generations of the family in America. These will oe properiy labeled and pasted in large loose lpnf scran books. The different families will of course, toe grouped together so that it will be easy to tell who is who. whpn the annual reunion is held the scrap books will be taken tak-en apart and the leaves will be tanked on display panels so that everyone will be able to see every picture. whpn thp reunion is over, the hnoks will be reassembled and the collection of family photographs will be continued. The pictures of brides ano grooms will be a feature of the collection as the years go on. Family group pictures will con- timiP in be eathered as wen as the pictures of missionaries, soldiers, new homes and new babies. The committee hopes in fvno war to make the -reunions " j - more interesting and to keep the members of the family better onmiaintert with the different branches of the family and then- doings. Mr. and Mrs. Andy KiUpatrick and son Terry of Salt Lake City spent Sunday in Lehi visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Grace and family. Eleven men advanced $20 each to begin with. An outstanding sire was purchased and a bull pen built during the first year at the Spafford homestead. Not long aeo Jesse drooped in at my office while he was at tending the dairy short course at the USAC, and chatted with me about this little project. During the eight years of op eration six sires, five of which were Durchased from Smoot Brothers Dairy, have been used. All have had records on their dams of 500 pounds of butterfat or more. These sires have bred from 130 to 140 cows annually for approximately 100 owners of dairy cows in the town, either family cows or very small herds. After five years of operation, the $20 with interest, had been paid the eleven initial members advancing the funds. The asso ciation is out of debt ,.nd the breeding service which began at $2, is now only $3, even with feed at its high price. It costs ap proximately $100 for roughage and about $60 for concentrates annually. Caretaker Spafford receives a meager 50 cents per service for his time in caring for the bull and for time snent in servicing the cows which come any hour of the day or night. Jesse also keeps the books and says he has never lost a dollar in breeding fees in the eight years. His main interest has been to serve his community and help to bring better family cows to the owners. Bankers, merchants, school teachers, tradesmen and small farmers are in on the program. Rulon Nicholes this year Is president presi-dent and Kenneth Robinson is vice Dresident. The next annual meeting will be held about May 1. It is estimated that over 375 good dairy cows have resulted from the association block in the eight years time. Many Utah communities could do the same if an unselfish leader lead-er would put forth the same effort. ef-fort. It is a thankless job but Jesse has brought many dollars to his friends whether they know it or not. Artificial breeding may be the answer in some areas in the future, but it will come at double or three times the price, and many areas of the state should not drop these practical nroerrams until artificial breeding is better organized. Jesse Spafford is an unassuming unassum-ing rivic worker. He has been the hub of the wheel that has brought success and better dairy cows to American orK. l ieei that many people fail to appreciate appre-ciate his efforts. But that's the way with life. Jesse will have the satisfaction and pay, not in money, but in knowing he is serving his fellow men.
