His busy career in Sanpete county Was touched upon and his coming to Emery county in obedience to those in authority, the speaker dwelling extensively on the whole-soule- d activity displayed by "Uncle Orange" in the cause of education, the erection and completion of the old academy building being due in great part to his untiring efforts and great personal sacrifices. President Lars P. Oveson, the next speaker, commented on the fact that a large part of the activities enumerated by the former speaker, had been performed before the deceased had reached his thirty-fourt- h year a remarkable performance in the life of a remarkable man. But the deceased had not let his useful career rest there but had gone on and worked for everything that was for the public good.
