Howard F. Blackburn was Prominent in Church and Farm Affairs
Funeral services for Howard F. Blackburn, 82, who died in the Salina hospital Monday, will be conducted in the Loa ward chapel of the L.D.S. church, Friday at 1 p.m. by Karl Mathis, bishop.
Mr. Blackburn, a resident of Loa since 1877, had been a prominent member of the LDS church all his life and was an officer in several water companies and farm groups for may years.
He was chairman of Wayne county board of health for many years. He was born Dec. 29, 1865, in Minersville, Beaver county, a son of Elias Hicks and V. Leah Crompton Blackburn. He moved to Loa with his parents in 1877.
Although a small boy when he came here, he remembered well when the grass was cinch high to a tall horse. His stories of the Indians who inhabited Wayne county &endash; at that time Piute county &endash; have thrilled young and old.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Florence Oyler Blackburn; two sons, Floyd Blackburn, Loa, and Thurland Blackburn, Salt lake City; a daughter, Miss Rose Blackburn, Loa, and five grandchildren. He is survived by 3 brothers, Seth and Dan Blackburn of Loa and Joseph C. of Salt Lake City, and one sister, Dee Fisher of Minersville.
Burial will be in the Loa ward cemetery. Friends may call at the Peterson mortuary until Thursday evening and at the family home in Loa Friday until time of service.
