Thayer Clark Barrowes, 95, passed away Saturday, November 13, 2004, in Salt Lake City. He was born Sept. 1, 1909, to Orrin Orlando Barrus and Mary Elizabeth Clark Barrus in Roddy, South Carolina, where his parents were serving as missionaries among the Catawba Native American People.
He spent his growing-up years in Star Valley, Wyoming, and in Logan, Utah. He was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he filled a two-year, full-time mission to Texas as part of the Southern States Mission.
He married Fern Isabella Rees On Sept. 1, 1936, in the Salt Lake Temple. Fern Died March 5, 1971. He married Mary Hill Ashdown on June 5, 1972, in the Provo Temple.
