Joseph Frederick Powell died at his home in Coalville last Saturday morning, March 31, 1928. His death followed a sickness of over a year's duration of intestinal cancer, and the past few months he suffered severe pain.
Joseph Frederick Powell was born April 23, 1857, in the village of Cinderhill, Nottingham county, England. Mr. Powell with his parents, six brothers and one sister left England on the ship St. Marks, crossed the plains with an ox team and arrived in the Salt Lake City during October conference in 1866. They stayed in Salt Lake a few days, then came to Coalville. When Mr. Powell became of age he took up a homestead near Upton. On November 28, 1876 he married Mary Stevens of Upton, and to this union nine children were born. Following his marriage he worked on the Union Pacific railroad at Wanship for a number of years, and then moved back to Upton. This has been their home until about six years ago, when, on account of his failing health, they moved to Coalville. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday.
In addition to a devoted wife he is survived by 27 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, and the following children: Mrs. Oscar Anderson Grantsville; Mrs. Charles Nelson, Beaver; Joseph H. Powell, Upton; Mrs. Bert Caldwell of California; Mrs. Pearl Moore, Upton; Mrs. Claude Staley, Coalville, and Wilbur Powell, Upton.
Beautiful and impressive indeed were the funeral services which were Tuesday, April 3rd, at two o'clock in the afternoon, in the Stake Tabernacle at Coalville. The large edifice was filled with the many friends and relatives of the departed and many and beautiful indeed were the floral offerings, all of which spoke of the high esteem this noble pioneer held in the hearts of all.
"Tired! Ah yes! So tired dear,
I shall soundly sleep tonight,
With never a dream and never a fear,
To wake in the morning light."
