Show FUNERAL SERVICES FOR CHARLES JOTS WIFE At the request of James Alsop, 20, eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Alsop, blast victims, funeral and memorial services were held here in St. George on Sunday, March 9th for his father and mother. Members of the family that were here before the son arrived had thought that the body of Mrs. Alsop would be sent to Long Beach, California, for burial, but James Alsop stated that since this had been his parents home for so many years and since their life's hope and ambitions had been interwoven in-terwoven in this Dixie country, he felt that this was the place for them to be buried. At the request of the family, a very short service was held. Friends Of the family believe that this was done because of the memorial mem-orial services that has been held on Friday for the entire group of blast victims. Services were under un-der the direction of the West Ward, with Bishop Cox presiding. The opening song was sung by a mixed quartet. It was entitled, "In the Time of Roses." Mayor John T. Woodbury, Jr., gave the opening prayer. This was followed by a violin solo by Mrs. Irene Everett. Dr. Wilford Reichmann gave a scriptural reading. He chose the 25th and 26th verse of the 11th chapter of St. John; the entire 14th chapter of St. John; the 11th chapter of Mathew, verses 28 and 29. Dr. D. A. McGregor and Dil-worth Dil-worth Snow as representatives of the Rotary club, of which Mr. Alsop Al-sop was a member, sang a vocal duet, "Red Roses for the Living." In behalf of the family, Dr. Cox thanked all who had helped in any way and all who had sent the beautiful floral offerings. The benediction was given by Stake President William O. Ben-tley. Ben-tley. A large group followed the casket cas-ket to the cemetery where the grave was dedicated by Elder O. S. Taylor. |
