Elisha Milton Chalk, an old resident of Sevier county, died in a Salt Lake hospital last Thursday, whither he had gone for treatment. He had resided in Monroe nearly a quarter of a century, coming to this city about seven years ago. He was a quiet industrious man. with many sterling virtues. a good neighbor and a friend to the poor and needy. He was born in Arkansas May 9th, 1848, coming to Utah when a young man. His wife died about eight years ago. Six children, all grown, survive him. Among them are Mrs. Frank Anderson, James Chalk and J. B. Chalk, who are residents of Richfield.
The funeral services were held in the Third ward chapel last Sunday afternoon, being largely attended by those who had known him in life. The speakers were Alfonso Wingate of Monroe and J. E. Heppler of this city. Appropriate music was discoursed. Mrs. W. H. Robinson sang
a touching solo, assisted by a mixed quartette, and another solo by Mrs. George Rasmussen was on the program. All the exercises were of the most solemn nature.
