Show "CLINT" MICKELSON The political life of Duchesne County last Friday suffered a distinct loss when Commissioner Clinton J. (Clint) Mickelson was killed instantly in a truck accident near Mona in Juab County. With the' untimely passing of "Clint" Mickelson goes a strong leader in the political and civic affairs of Duchesene County and City. He had served his community as a city councilman coun-cilman for a short time, before being elected a member of the Board of County Commissioners. He was also taking an active part in his church. "Clint" will be missed in his various civic positions and in his church, where he had served efficiently and honorably. His wife and children should get extreme satisfaction in the know ledge that their husband and father made a great contribution to the' growth and development of the great Uintah Basin, which he loved and accepted as his home. The overflow crowd that jammed the Duchesne stake-ward chapel last Tuesday; the floral offerings and the tribute's paid him at his funeral, are indicative of the love and esteem in which "Clint" Mickelson was held among his people the people who were his neighbors and those he had served in public life. It's comforting when a man and his family have the profound pro-found faith and assurance' that death is not the end, but the beginning of a more beautiful life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Clint's family, especially, will miss their husband and father they'll, miss his comforting influence and counsel during the dark days ahead, but can smile' between their tears because they know his spirit will live throughout the eternities, and while he lived upon the earth he served his community, his church and his country well. |
