Funeral Services for Naples Pioneer Held Wednesday In Naples Ward Chapel
Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, the Naples Ward Chapel was filled to overflowing with relatives and friends for the funeral services of John Cook. The chapel was decorated with white drapes and flowers while the casket was a mound of beautiful floral tributes. Six sons of the departed acted as pallbearers.
The services were conducted by the Naples bishopric and the singing rendered by a mixed double quartet from the ward. The opening number being " Guide Me To Thee." The invocation was offered by George Slaugh, which was followed by the song, "Sometime We'll Understand".
The speakers were Edward Watkins Sr., Albert Goodrich of Naples and Patriarch James M. Shaffer of Vernal, who spoke of the life of the departed, the esteem in which he was held by his neighbors and friends, his faithfulness as a member of the church and of the gospel plan. A special number was rendered by the quartet, after which a short talk was given by Bishop Byron Goodrich. The closing song was "Oh My Father," followed by the benediction by J.J. Longhurst.
A large number of friends and relatives followed the remains to the Vernal Cemetery where interment was made, the grave being dedicated by A. A. Haws of Vernal.
