The Maeser Chapel was filled to overflowing with sorrowing relatives and friends Wednesday, December 19, twelve o'clock for the funeral services of Mark Bingham who in the bloom of life met with death so suddenly the Thursday evening before.
The chapel was greatly decorated with white pleated drapes and cut flowers and the services conducted by the ward bishopric. The Elders quorum of thirty members of which Mr. Bingham was a member formed in two lines outside the chapel doors between which the casket covered with beautiful floral tributes with its attendant pallbearers of relative and intimate friends and mourners passed. The elders then sat in a group near the casket.
The opening song "Abide With Me" was sweetly sung as a duet by Miss Eunice Smith and Warren Jones after which the invocation was offered by Charles P. Maughan. A chorus then sang "My Father Knows" with the solo sung by Bert Caldwell of Dry Fork.
Leroy Carroll, a member of the quorum and a life long friend of the deceased was the first speaker. He spoke of the faithfulness of Elder Bingham as an elder, as ward clerk and his well kept records. He also stated that he was exceptionally kind and considerate of other. Walter Woolley, a former classmate paid the highest tribute to the departed and read a beautiful poem finishing with the lines "It is by faith and hope that we walk and not by knowledge." a male quartet sang "The Teachers Work Is Done."
President Walter Wallace spoke of the faithfulness with which Mr. Bingham kept his ward records and said that his records would still live. President B. O. Colton of Duchesne Stake compared the life of the deceased with that of great men of the Bible and urged all to be kind and considerate of everyone.
The chorus sweetly rendered "Wanted On the Other Side" and the benediction was pronounced by Leroy Richens. A large cortege of relatives and friends followed the remains to the Maeser cemetery, where interment was made, the grave being dedicated by Thomas E. Hall.
Mark Bingham was born December 19, 1886 at Mill Ward now Maeser the son of Thomas Bingham and Mary E. Gfroerer. He was 42 years of age on the date of his burial. He attended the elementary schools in Ashley Valley graduating from the Uintah Academy and also attending for a time the Brigham Young University at Provo.
He filled a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to Germany where he was at the time of the outbreak of the war in 1914. It was while on a mission that he met Joan Le fler who later came to America and became the wife of the deceased. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple in February 1915 and made their home in Maeser.
Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. They are Herman, Earl, Myrna, Melba, Lyle Ray and infant child. All these and the wife survive Mr. Bingham.
The deceased parents, five brothers and seven sisters also survive him. They are Georga B. of Provo; Fred G. of Vernal; Francis M. Magrath, Alberta, Canada; Lester, Maeser; Edwin Bynum, Mont, Mrs. Clara Bartlett, Vernal; Mrs. Ann Dudley, Maeser; Mrs. Margaret Billings, Duchesne; Mrs. Karren Hacking, Cedar Valley; Mrs. Edna Allred, Raymond, Alberta, Canada; Mrs. Vilate Dudley, Maeser; Mrs. Roseltha Vernon, Kanab, Utah.
