Wm. Elmer Morrell
Wm. Elmer Morrell was born on April 5, 1861 in Salt Lake county, Utah. At the age of 16 years he went as a pioneer to Wayne county, Utah and after his marriage July 22, 1881 to Minnie Brian they again pioneered in Arizona and Idaho.
In the spring of 1900 he and his family came with the colony to the Big Horn basin country and helped in building the Sidon Canal and also helped in settling this country.
They made their home in Byron until September 22, 1928 when they moved to Lovell.
On the morning of Saturday, January 24th, Mr. Morrell was suddenly stricken with a brain hemorrhage which after a few hours of terrible suffering caused him to lapse into unconsciousness, in which state he remained until at 10:40 a.m., Monday morning, January 26th he passed peacefully away.
Deceased is survived by his wife and six children, Mrs. E. J. McQueen of Bakersfield, Cal., Mr. Ernest Morrell of Kamas, Utah, Mrs. Orvel Lynn, L. T. Morrell and T. B. Morrell of Lovell and Mrs. Wallace Baird of Byron, Wyoming. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. McQueen. There are 16 grandchildren.
Funeral services were held in the L. D. S. Hall January 28 at 1 p.m. Musical numbers were furnished by the Cowley, Byron and Lovell wards.
The speakers were Bishop C. S. Robertson, John Hinckley of Cowley and Frank Brown. A silent tribute was paid by the Seventy's Quorum of which Mr. Morrell was a member. Many beautiful and fitting tributes were paid including a poem by C. A. Welch of Cowley which was read by Bishop Robertson.
In the passing of W. E. Morrell the community has lost one of its most staunch and dependable citizens. He had a smile and cheerful word for everyone and was noted for his square dealing and for his kindness to the poor and needy.
The floral tributes were many and showed the sympathy of the deceased's many friends.
Interment was made in the Lovell cemetery.
