Son of Horace La grande Allred and Ruby Elizabeth Robins

The whole community was shocked to learn of the death of Ted Allred, the 13 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace L Allred last Tuesday at six o'clock (24 Dec 1935). Ted was one of the most loved boys in the community, always so willing to help and so eager to do his good turn. He was one of the most outstanding scouts in the Roosevelt troop and never refused to take part in any activity in the community. Perhaps there is not a boy in the town who was so well known and beloved. A week ago Saturday, Ted and a number of boys were skating near his home when he fell and received a bad bruise on his eye. As it never bothered him much, nothing was done for a while but it seemed to hurt him a little, so he was taken to a physician, but nothing serious was anticipated until Monday evening he became quite ill and Tuesday morning in spite of everything that could be done, he passed away. Ted was born in Roosevelt on June 30, 1922. He has lived here all his life having gone to the grade school. He is survived by his parents, one sister, Mrs. Charlotte Davis of Salt Lake City and three brothers, Melvin, Chall and Howard of Roosevelt. Impressive Funeral Services Held Funeral services for Scout Ted Allred were held today, Thursday in the LDS ward chapel at 11 o'clock, conducted under the direction of Roosevelt ward bishopric, with Heber T. Hall, bishop presiding. Long before the casket was brought into the chapel by the four scouts acting as pall bearers, the chapel was crowded with friends of Ted's and the family to pay their last respects. Mrs. Beth Berrett played the funeral march. A quartet consisting of Mrs. Ray Utley, Mrs. Utahna Collett, Bruce Calder and John E. Wiscombe sang "Through Deepening Trials". Invocation offered by Ray Utley; quartet sang "They Will be Done;" the Scoutmaster, Willard Day spoke of his effort to calm himself enough to speak upon this occasion. He spoke of Ted as the one great scout that he could always depend upon. He stated that the departed comrade was a 100 per cent American scout and how he appreciated the honor of being his scout master. He spoke of the many instances of his keeping the scout laws; John E. Wiscombe rendered a very impressive solo "May Faith in Thee"; President Ray E. Dillman spoke of the rank of first class scout, which Ted would have received the first of January had he been spared. He spoke of the young man's personality, the like ow which he had never before seen in such a young boy, explaining that he was always interested in older people, which was so unusual in so young a person. He said that Ted was one who interpreted the scout oath as it should be and tried to live it. President Dillman paid high tribute to Ted's parents, stating that with such fine parents no boy could go far wrong. He closed by reading the poem "Death is only a Gate in a Garden Wall". Bishop Hall expressed his and the family's appreciation of the help and sympathy of those who had helped during the death and services and for the floral offerings. Benediction by Louie Galloway. The casket, banked on all sides by beautiful flowers was left open for those who wished to view the remains. Interment took place in the Roosevelt city cemetery with President H. O. Colton dedicating the grave.
