Sarah Lorilla Allred Hoopes was born April 9, 1895 at Fairview Wyo. to Orson Pratt and Sarah Jane Rich Allred. She grew up in Fairview, and attended schools in Fairview, Paris, Idaho and Logan Utah.
An active LDS Church worker, she served as Primary president; counselor in the Relief Society; Relief Society chorister and visiting teacher; YWMIA teacher; and Sunday School teacher. She and her husband both sang in choirs, and she sang with Singing Mothers groups. They also worked on the Ward Genealogical Committee and did temple work. They both loved square dancing.
Lorilla did lovely handwork and wide lace for pillow cases fro her 15 granddaughters. She also made many quilts and other handwork items.
They were married Sept 15, 1915, in the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1965.
They took pride in the fact that all of their children were married in LDS Temples, and two of their children fulfilled missions for the church.
They are survived by the following sons and daughters; Mrs Richard N. (Wilma) Westover, El Centro, Calif.; J Wayne, Willard, Utah; Mrs Milton M. (Nola) Turner, Afton, Wyo.; Darrel A. and Mrs Robert M. (Eda Loy) Lee Fairview, Wyo; and F. Vaughn, Ririe, Idaho. They are also survived by 32 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
Two brothers survive Julian Ernest M., Afton; and Riley W., Fairview. He is also survived by the following half-brothers and sisters; Jesse N., Fairview; Mrs Mertis (Rilla) Bryson, Ogden, Utah; Mrs O.W. (Adeline) Barrus and Mrs Lester V. (Della) Hale, Afton; Mrs Doyle (Pearl) Brown, Reseda, Calif.; Mrs Ralph (Rose) Payne, Blue River, Ore.; and Mrs LeRoy (Ila) Briggs, Thornton, Idaho.
Lorilla is survived by the following brothers and sisters; Theras O. Allred, Provo, Utah; Harvey R. Allred, and Mrs Othello (Lera) Brown, Logan, Utah; Mrs Leon (Gladys) Shumway, Elden P. Allred and Ronald E. Allred, all of Fairview.
People of Star Valley were shocked by the news of the tragic death of six people-three couples- all of Fairview, who apparently were instantly killed Tuesday afternoon when the car in which they were returning home from a temple excursion to Idaho Falls left Highway U.S. 26 about 20 miles southeast of Ririe, Idaho and plunged down a 300-foot near perpendicular enbankment.
The dead were: Julian Hoopes, 74, and his wife Lorilla, 73, Vernon Hoopes, 61 and his wife Jane 62; and Duard H. Erickson 61 and his wife Vera, 57,
The group had attended LDS Temple sessions, participating with the excursion sponsored by the Fairview Ward. The wreckage of the car, owned by Julian Hoopes, and the frozen bodies of the victims were not discovered until Wednesday about 3 p.m.
Since all are elderly couples living alone in their homes, they were not missed until Tuesday morning, when family members outside their homes could not locate them. at first it was believed they might have remained in Idaho Falls overnight, as all had family members or relatives living there. However,, when a check was made and none of them could be located, Idaho and Wyoming state Police were alerted, and a search was started. A call to Ririe, Idaho to the home of Vaughn Hoopes, son of Mr and Mrs Julian Hoopes, established the fact they had stopped briefly there about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, so it was estimated the accident occurred about 3 p.m.
Discovery of the wreckage and bodies, which had all been thrown from the car as it rolled down the embankment, was made by U.J. Mason of the Idaho State Police, who saw the tracks leaving the road, on the Turner Dugway which leads from Antelope Flats down into Cunard Valley along the Snake River. The accident scene was not visible from the highway, and Mason said the car rolled down a near perpendicular cliff. All six occupants were believed killed instantly. It was not known who was driving of the cause of the accident. The highway was bare and dry. officers said.
Wyoming Highway Patrolman Delaine Roberts of Afton arrived at the scene soon after the wreckage was discovered and took the accompanying pictures.
The bodies were brought to Schwab Mortuary in Afton.
All of the dead were prominent Fairview residents, all active in church and community affairs. Julian and Vernon were brothers, and Mrs Erickson was their niece.
The families were summoned for a meeting to decide on funeral arrangements, but at the time the Independent went to press they had not been fully decided upon. It was announced however, that the first funeral will be held Saturday.
As far as is known by the Independent this is the worst single automobile accident involving Star Valley people in history, as far as members killed is concerned. Since it occurred in Idaho, the fatalities will add to Idaho's highway death toll, although all are Wyoming residents.
