Rites to Honor Fred Bingham Here Saturday.
Funeral services for Fred G. Bingham at 11 a.m. in the Vernal Second Ward Chapel.
Mr. Bingham, patriarch of Uintah Stake, died Wednesday in the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City following a short illness. He was born in Dry Fork, November 4, 1882 the son of Thomas and Margaret Louesa Bingham.
In September of 1902 he was called to fill a mission for the LDS Church to the Southern States. He married Sarah Bartlett in the Salt Lake Temple September 19, 1906.
He has lived his entire life in this community and has taken pride in its growth and development. He has shown great interest in the water development programs in the past few years and has taken many friends and tourists to see these.
In the summer of 1906 he was in the Acorn Mercantile business with E. J. Winder. He later worked for the Consolidated Wagon and Machine Company and the experience of assembling and selling all kinds of farm implements, wagons, surreys and buggies.
For many years he worked in the grocery department of the Ashley Co-op and made many friends. The sheepmen appreciated him because when he packed a box that had to travel for over many rough miles before it reached its destination the supplies always arrived in A-1 condition.
In January of 1910 he was called to be president of the mission to the former Indian Reservation, working with the scattered LDS families in the vicinity of Roosevelt and Theodore, now known as Duchesne.
In 1955 he was appointed Juvenile Judge by Governor Charles R. Mabey and served in this capacity for six years. In January of 1944 he was appointed director in the Bank of Vernal.
In 1910 he was chosen to be a stake high councilman and was on the committee to set the boundary lines for the Vernal First and Vernal Second Wards.
In 1919 he was called again, into the high councilman position and served in this cacapacity for 17 years. On May 8, 1932 he was made patriarch of Uintah Stake and this position he still held at the time of his death.
He was preceded in death by his wife and two children, Zelda and Thomas.
Friends may call at the Vernal Mortuary Friday evening from 7 to 9 and Saturday prior to services. The interment will be under the direction of the Vernal Mortuary in the Vernal City Memorial Park.
