She was a kindly soul and ranked high in the hearts of her people and the whites who came to know her so well. A dying request was granted Mrs. Atwine she wanted to be buried in the old Neola cemetery ceme-tery and not at the Indian burial grounds at Whiterocks. and she wished that services be held in the cemetery rather than at home or in a chapel. At Jim Atwine's request, friends and neighbors gathered around the casket at the family home while James E. Bacon, Indian mission president for the LDS church, lead the group in invoking a blessing upon her home and her people. Lester Gardner, counselor in the Neola ward bishopric, conducted con-ducted the graveside services. Speakers were W. K. Dye. and Daniel F. Mitchell, former bishops bish-ops of the Neola ward; Russel Root, a nephew, and Andrew Frank, traditional leader of the Utes, both of whom addressed the congregation in their native Ute tongue and later interpreted their remarks for the benefit of white members. ' The Relief Society of the Neola Ne-ola ward served lunch before and after the services to approximately ap-proximately 100 people, half ot which were Indians. |
