ALONZO E. DUTSON OF LYNNDYL DIES
Last Monday about 5:30 p.m., Mr. Dutson and family with a number of friends motored down to the Sevier River to enjoy a plunge in the cool water. After about ten minutes of swimming, the deceased took a drive off a board about two feet above the water. The water was not very deep and Mr. Dutson's head struck the bottom. He came up and asked for help. Mrs. Margy Walker, who was near at hand, had to carry him to the bank. Assistance and medical aid were called for and as soon as possible, he was taken to town on a stretcher. The doctor and Railroad officials decided to have him removed to the hospital in Salt Lake as it was feared by some, his back bone was broken. This proved to be true and he died in the Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake Tuesday night. Funeral services were held Sunday at Lynndyl and the body was laid to rest in the Oak City cemetery [later re-intered in the Salt Lake City Cemetery]. The services were very impressive, a choir composed of singers from Oak City and Lynndyl under the direction of Cuthbert Trimble sang, "Wanted on the Other Side" and "Sometime, We'll Understand". Mr. and Mrs. Trimble sang "Cast Thy Bread Upon the Water". A quintet from Oak City sang "O, My Father" and Louis Woodbury, accompanied by Hazel Trimble, played a violin solo. W.J. Finlinson, Bishop Rodney Ashby, Pres. Joseph T. Finlinson, Pres. A.A. Hinckley and Bishop Banks spoke words of consolation, tribute and gospel doctrine. The opening prayer was deliver by Stake Clerk James. M. Rigby and the benediction by Bishop J. Lee Anderson. Lorenzo Lovell dedicated the grave. Alonzo E. Dutson was the son of James and Susannah Dutson. He was born in Oak City in 1893, July 30. At the age of nineteen he went from Leamington to the Southern States on a mission. While he was in the mission field, his folks moved to Park Valley, Box Elder County. Here Alonzo went when he returned and here he met and married Ione James. The young couple moved to Kimberly, Idaho. Just ten years after he left Leamington, he returned to that place and was called upon to give his report. Two years ago he moved to Lynndyl to work for the R.R. Co. Surviving him are his wife and daughters, Virginia, Dora and Margery, one child having preceded him to the great beyond, his mother and father and the following brothers and sisters, Amelia Elzins, Benjamin Jay, Eva May, Varley Nathaniel, Lorin Fay, Nora Geneva, Martha Eleanor, Suzie Arzella and Ormus Lloyd. Alonzo Dutson was a man of high principles and he lived up to them. He was a man who could be depended upon in his church activities, his work and other things. He was a gentleman and all who knew him respected him. He was a dutiful son, a loving and kind husband and father. The very large crowd that attended the funeral and burial bespeak the feelings of the people in these communities toward him. Brother Dutson was a true Latter-Day Saint. He lived his religion and was always ready to help. At the time of his death, he was President of the YMMIA in this ward. We shall miss him very much. For some reason this article was not received in time for last issue so we are including it this week.
