as Morgan and the choir sang "Rock
of My Refuge.'
, Elder Christian Larson stated htat
' he had not expected to be called upon
upon to ,. speak. However he was
I " '
pleased to bear testimony to tho char-
,4c ter of Qeorgo Taft Denson. He had
' known tho decoasod for 52"'yearB;
r , during both his stngle and married
T days. Ho was greatly blessed in
yr having been well born, his parents
being truly noble specimens o'man-
' k'lntff- 'He had lived a goo'd.'llfe alt
" his days and had gone to Ma'reward.
He had raised a splendid v, fntijUy,

speaker and ho said it was g'ratify
ing to boo so many present to .show
their respect to the memory and the
family of George T. Benson. Death
must finally como to all. He had
fought the good fight and kept the
faith to the end. No ono could do
more. He was a good citizen, neigh
bor and worker, and had made a,
. aplendid, bishop of his ward.
Elder John Larsen of Preston said
It was quite an honor to be called
upon to say a few words at the fun
eral of his friend since 1861. They
were both boys together, wen o hcaa
were boys together, went to the can-
yona together. They had cut timber
together for. this building. He had
served with him and Elder W. C. Par
kinson Jn the bishopric at Preston for
a number of years and had enjoyed
y their labors together. Tho speaker
asked tho dbrpLlteo
asked tho Lord to bless the family of
Khls old friend.
President W. C. Patkinson of tho
Hyrum stake felt tho loss of his old
frlond very severely. Ho recallod
tho tlmo when ho had been called to
go from Franklin to Preston to pro
Hldo over that ward, wlioro JJrothor
, Larson served as ono of his counsel
ors and Brother Benson as the oth-
or. L'yhe ftlcndship then engendered
1 durng tholr five years of Joint ser-
T' vice had continued until tho present
E A time. Hi other Benson later became
V , A bishop of that ward and also a mom
3 A bur of tho Oneida Stake Academy
1 Board. Brother Benson had always
' y lived a life of complete harmony with
his family, his friends and neighbors
It was a pleasure to associate with
& such a good man, HIa was a homo
m wlirro love ami harmony prevailed.
K It had been tho speakers good for-
f E tune to marry tho eldest daughtor of
I'M tho deceased so ho kuew whorcof ho
spoko when he referred to tho prl-
jff vato and public llfo of tho deceased.
fr Miss Ella Rlgby sang a solo with
v' organ accompaniment by Chorlstor
Mltlon.
Euder J, E. Dahlo doomed It a spe
cial honor to bo called to speak on
H
this occasion. His acquaintance with
rMr. Benson began In 1893 when he
had boen called to preside over tho
, Oneida Stako Acadomy. That waa In
1 ' tho days when Oneida stako, while a
a largo ono, was poor. It was a hard
