Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon in the Richfield First ward chapel for Lou Emma Jepsen, 22, who died of pneumonia Friday in a hospital at Rock Springs, Wyoming. Although she had not complained of being ill, friends had insisted on her consulting a physician and she was taken to the hospital a few days before her death. The attending physician said a heart ailment and weakened lung condition had developed as complications of influenza, of which she had been ill in the winter.

Davis, Mrs. Dan Ogden, Mrs. Bryant Jacobs, H.B. Mendenhall, W.T. Orrock, Don Hansen and B.M. Ainsworth. Solos were "A Perfect Day", sung by H.B.
