Show Military Rites Pay Tribute To Former Resident With impressive military rites the community paid last respects to Eben Dibble, one time resident of Pleasant Grove, and a former World War veteran who died at a Salt Lake hospital Thursday night from an illness due to heart trouble and asthma. The services which were conducted conduct-ed in the Third ward chapel Sunday at 1 p. m. under the direction of Bishop Joseph S. Walker began with a selection, "My Father Knows", by the Third ward Ladies quartet with Mrs. Leone Told, Mrs. Ethel Carlson, Mrs. Genevieve Wright and Mrs. Lydia Hilton. The invocation was offered by John S. Holdaway. The first speaker, Bishop Joseph Olpin of Heber, and former Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove resident emphasized strongly the idea that man is not capable of judging what is for his j best good, as it often happens that j what appears to be a great calamity at one time may later in life prove to be a real blessing. He expressed the hope that the present loss might seem less keen as the years pass. F. D. Atwood, former bishop of the Third ward, spoke of the faith of Mrs. Mary Wadley, mother of the deceased, and of the faithful work j of her family in the Third ward during his years of service as bishop. Mrs. Mary Neves played, an organ sol.o after which Burton H. Adams, chaplain of the American Legion post 49, called attention to the comfort com-fort offered by the Mormon burial service. He then read the service prescribed by the American Legion. H. E. McNeill, American Legion adjutant, took charge of the burial. Bishop Joseph S. Walker, in closing clos-ing expressed appreciation for the fine church work rendered the Third ward by the Wadley family, and referred particularly to the long and faithful work done by May Wadley Hardman in the M. I. A. of the ward. The closing musicaL number was "Rock of Ages," sung by the ladies quartet. . The benediction was pronounced by Wilford Neves. |
