Funeral Held in Third Ward for Leon James Bell
Many beautiful flowers and a congregation that crowded the auditorium and adjoining hall of the Third ward chapel to capacity gave silent tribute Sunday at funeral services held for Leon James Bell, 20, who died in a Salt Lake Hospital Friday from complications following an operation for appendicitis.
Bishop Alex Jensen presided at the services. The first speaker, A. M. Maughan, principal of the Richfield High School spoke of Leon's cleanliness of mind and body, his trustworthiness dependability and friendliness emphasized by the activities in which he and his twin sister Leah participated at the school. John R. Adams, who had been one of Leon s instructors at the high school said he had never seen more love of a brother and sister more beautifully portrayed than it was by Leah and Leon and like Mr. Maughan spoke of the young mans character traits and qualities of leadership. Patriarch H. J. Hansen, a former bishop of the Third ward emphasized the obedience to service and church standards which characterized Leon's activities and stated that he had accomplished more in his short life than many who live to ripe old age. With a few closing remarks, Bishop Alex Jensen joined the speakers in offering consolation to the bereaved family.
Music for the services was in charge of Mrs. Reginald Peterson. A quartet composed of Mrs. A. B. Robinson, Mrs. Reginald Peterson, Mrs. Roy Christensen, Mrs. Ruby Nielson, Leroy Hatch, A. W. Rowley, F. A. Jackman and Roy Christensen with Mrs. Chas A. Jackman as accompanist sang, "Love at Home," "Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words" and "Behold Tis Eventide." Mrs. Robinson who was soloist for the quartet also sang a solo, "After a While" and Mrs. L. A. Poulson sang, "Going Home," for which Carvel Mattsson played the accompaniment.
The invocation was by Chris Peterson; benediction by G. W. Coons.
Interment was in the city cemetery. C. L. Stewart of Mt. Pleasant dedicated the grave.
Active pallbearers were Jerry Ogden, Merrill Hatch, Garr Hansen, Chas. Stillman, Richard Gurr and Wm. Warner. Honorary pall bearers were Thomas King, Steve Peterson, Lyle Peterson, Dean Isbell, Nyle Thurston, Arnold Payne, Eugene Littlewood and Syril Zufelt. The girls carring the flowers were classmates and friends of Leon and Leah.
