He was married at Sheffield at tbe old Paris Cathedral when 29 to his first wife, Sarah E. Grayson, and to them were born Mary Emma, George 1L, William J,., John U., Joseph II. and Wilford, all of whom are living. She died in 1998 and he married Mary Johnson, whose conquuiionship he now enjoys. Bishop Ruff came to the United States and located in Utah in 1878 with his wife and three of his children. They went to Coalville, where he ojMmcd a blacksmith shop and raised his family of five sons and one daughter. In 1900, after having filled a mission to Great Britain, he moved to Scofield, and was employed by tho Utah Fuel company as a blacksmith at Winter Quarters, where for more than twenty-si- x years he has lived and been thus employed most of the time. In July, 1902, he was made bishop of the Scofield ward, which position he has held since. lie served three terms as a' member of tbe Scofield town board and also filled an unexpired term as mayor. He put in four terms as a member of the Scofield school board before the consolidation of the schools.

During the residence of Bishop Raff in Carbon eounty he has always enjoyed the confidence of the eoal operators and employes. He has gone through all the struggles of the industry and has madjs friends because, of his fearlessness and his fairness until today he is among tbe most esteemed men in the eounty. Though 77 yean of age he is filled with vitality. He thinks elearly. His counsel is Bought and because of his faithfulness in a religions, industrial, civil and political way, he ia a leader.

H. Holmes, the Texas operators, will be drilling for oil about half way between Price and Wellington on the south side of the river some four miles out of this city within the next f?w days. Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon McGee went through this city on Denver and Rio Grande Western Train No. 3 for the state capital after acquiring a rig at Green River from the Utah Oil and Refining company. This, in use down there but a short time, is said to be as good as new and a standard. He was accompanied by his driller, Ora Huey. The trip to Zion is to buy some tools and other things required in operations here. R. J. Turner, local representative and attorney for the Texas interests, met McGee at the train for a short conference. He will be in Price about the first of the coming week when more of his plans will be known. The work contemplated will be on no small scale. Holmes and McGee have producing properties at Amorilla, Tex., and elsewhere in the Lone Star State as well as in New Mexico. They are confident of developing a producer at the location selected locally. Their holdings in the Nine Mile section and in the Basin country are also large. se ed Albert Frazer of Helper, football star of last year, has been elected president of the senior class of Carbon high. He is the thiql one to hold the place this school year. Elizabeth Griffiths was first and Ardath Turner second. |
