BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF Sunday morning marked the passing pass-ing of a life well lived a long life, beyond the four-score mark a life which has been filled with service, which has shed great influence for good, a life which has been honorably honor-ably lived in keeping and accordance accord-ance with the restored gospel of Jesus Christ a life" wherein nobility nobili-ty of soul has been attained. This is my testimony of the life of Charles A. Cobbley, my grandfather, for whom I was named, and whose name I feel proud and honored to carry. Charles A. Cobbley was the fifth child of a family of seven children bom to the union of Thomas Cobbley Cob-bley and Sarah Smith. His birthplace birth-place was England, the shire of Northhampton and the town of Wlnwlck. He was bom on the 13th day of September, 1855. At the time his parents were rejoicing in the anticipation of going to Zion, and when grandfather was but six weeks old a wind-rocked sailing vessel, ves-sel, the "John Bright" became his cradle. After landing in America grandfather's parents with their family of little ones sojourned in the East, in Philadelphia, for more than five years, while they worked and saved that they might continue their Journey to the valleys of the Saints where the children could live and grow in the light and beauty of the gospel. Grandfather was six years old when his parents and seven little children were again able to take up their Journey toward the land which for so long had been their goal. The severest of trials fire, sickness, death and persecution, dogged their trail, but they came through with courage and faith undaunted. They " left Florence, Nebraska, with their hearts clinging cling-ing to two small, freshly-mounded graves, but with faces set resolutely resolute-ly and hopefully to the west. Death had hovered over the boy Charles, but his life had been spared and very soon afterward his small legs trudged almost the whole-of the 2,000 miles across the vast plains. It was in September, 1861, when Thomns Cobbley and his wife and children reached Pleasant Grove, the little spot which had for so long been their destination. - In the days Q&, Jate childhood and youth grandfather knew the hardships, hard-ships, toil, and privations which were incidents to pioneer life, but he also knew the simple, but deeply i satisfying pleasures and joys which were a vital part of the lives of those closely-united pioneer souls. Grandfather's youth was marked by industry and thrift. As he has said to his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, great-grandchildren, he "Was never one to waste his time". As a child and as a youth he worked hard and willingly and in his free hours entered en-tered into the wholesome, unhampered unhamp-ered play and recreation which the great open country' and the simple village of those days so well afforded, af-forded, with all the zest and enjoyment enjoy-ment of one accustomed to hard toll, and too, with all the Joy and skill of one who was of fine physique physi-que and who possessed physical prowess for grandfather was a well built youth athleticly Inclined and skilled. Charles A. Cobbley and Emma Davis were united in marriage In the Endowment House on June 28. 1878. Theirs has been a beautiful union, a companionship which grew and strengthened through the years. To them ten children have been bom. His beloved wife and three of his children have gone on before him. At the mid-point of his life, Charles A. Cobbley was called Into the mission field. His labors were in the Kentucky conference, af . the Southern States Mission. For two years he traveled up and down Kentucky without purse or script and his only means of transportation trans-portation were his two legs. I have heard him say "I labored the full two years without a five cent piece in my pockets" "In going from place to place I never once rode pn the train, and at one time I waited a distance of 80 miles to get to my place of labor". Most of grandfather's 81 years were lived here In Lindon, with the exception of twelve years when, after af-ter all their children were grown and married, grandfather and grandmother lived In Salt Lake, members of the Wandamere ward. In both these places In which he lived Charles Cobbley was an ardent ar-dent church worker, always loyal to the church and its principles. For many years he served In various church positions of honor and trust, and served with credit and conscientious con-scientious devotion to truth and right. We who have loved and revered him feel our lass, but we are comforted com-forted by the knowledge that we are in possession of a great treasure memories of sweet days and years of association and love that we have enjoyed.

Mayfield briefly outlined the history' of the CCC movement and told how the idea had changed from one of relief re-lief to begin with to that of an educational edu-cational institution where young men are taught a trade and given a chance to fit themselves for life and its biggest problem, making an honest living. Superintenoent Frank Hyde then explained the nature of the work projects. He also stressed the point that these young men are not only a. ked to do certain work but . are told and shown how the work is done He mentioned some of the direct benefits to this section of the country that the work this particular partic-ular camp is doing and showed how the boys were being trained in a definite line of work.
