Show Panguitch News By Earl Roe 801-676-2376 Many family members and friends of the Henrie family were in town last weekend for the funeral of Ruth Henrie. Her grandson, Jim Henrie (Jim and Evelyn Henrie's son) flew in from Hawaii, but arrived ar-rived home too late to attend the services. Russell is a psychiatrist with the University of Hawaii and was out on a survival trip and did not leam of the death of his grandmother grand-mother until the day before the funeral. fu-neral. He arrived shortly after the conclusion of the services so he did get to see many of his relatives and friends and spend some time with his family. Jim and Evelyns other children Brad, Jeanine and Ruth were also present. Of Ruth's 37 grandchildren, 32 of came home to pay their last respects to their grandmother. I will not try to name them all (I would surely forget for-get someone), but the ones not named are the children of Maloy and Carol (Henrie) Dodds; Richard and Irene (Henrie) Tebbs; and Doyl and Catherine (Henrie) Ipson. Others present Clayton Clarke of Logan; La Vera Hennig and daughter Sandra; Heber J. Tobler, all from Boulder City. La Vera is the sister of Oral, Ruth's husband (deceased). Oral's half-sister, Hazel Dean Henrie and Cheer (Henrie) Owens, daughter of Oral's brother Dwayne, also came home for the services. One other family group I want to mention are the children of Ruth's sister Emma. All those living came home for the funeral: Reva, Mary, Barbara, Wayne, Cleone, Edith Lorraine and Gai. I have always felt close to this family, especially the older children. chil-dren. The first house my father built in Panguitch was a home for Tommy Ray and Emma (Henrie) Houston. I was about 10 years old and could really pound nails so I got to help my dad build it. (I clearly remember nailing the old wood lath.) because I was there every ev-ery day, my friends would tease me by saying, "Earl Roe is Reva's beau." (I don't think I even knew what a beau was at that age). Their oldest son, Douglas, (deceased) was in my class through high school and was one of my best school friends. ( I hope Reva will forgive me for telling about the "beau" thing.) "He played a sax; had no B.O.; but his whiskers scratched; so she let him go." Burma Shave. |
