Advt, INOTED PIONEER IS I GIVEN BIG fUNERAL' , Services For Andrew Aadscn, Sr., Were Held Last Friday At Mt. Pleasant Was j One of the First Settlers. ' Funeral services for Andrew Mmlson, Sr., one of Mt. Pleasnnt's first settlers, who died at an early hour Monday, December G, 1915, Iwero hold Friday, December 10th, at 1 o'clock, in the North ward1 I chapel? says the Mt. Ploasant Pyramid. Mr. Madsen waH operated upon about three months ago for bladder trouble and apparently wns on the way to recovery until thirty hours before his deatlt when an attack of pnogmonia came uymn him. ' In the death of Mr. Madaen the community luces one of Its most entorprisitiB cltizons. He was an cnorjrotic worker and dur ing his life lie wns always identified with mnttors of public sen ice. Andrew Mndscn was born in SwinmeiiKo, Asherrod, Denmark, March 3, 1835. He was baptized and became a member of the Mormon church December 4, 1851, by Elder Jnmos Hansen at J Ordrup, Denmark, at which time a branch of the church was or-1 Kanlzcd at that place. Lars Erickson presided over the branch fori 1 three years. November 23, 1855, ho left Denmark for Utah and came across the Atlantic ocean on a vessel carrying five hundred and eight persons, nearly all of whom were members ofthe church. President Knute Petersen was chosen as president of the company. I They landed in New York and from there they went to Winter Quarters, New Florence, Kan., where they made preparations for j the journey ncross the plains. After many hardships incurred on their journey they arrived In Salt Lake City, December 21, 185G. His first home wns made in Urighnm City. Early in the spring of 1858 he abandoned his home at Hrigham City and with many others began moving south (this was known as the "Big Move"). He, with many others, settled at Ephraim. I December 2G, 1858, he was married to Johannah Wcdergrccn An- .dcrson. Early in February of 1859 lie, with his four brothers, Mads, Peter, Christian and Neils, together with George Frandsen, I Rasmus Frandsen, Nells Wcdergrccn Anderson, C. W. Anderson, j Peter Monscn, Christian Jensen, 1st Martin Ilnsmusscn, James I Larson, Sr., Neils Johanscn, 1st Alma Allrcd, Peter Johansen, Mlklc Christenscn, Sorcn Jncobscn, James Melting, Alma Zabris- kic, James Allrcd and Sidney Allrcd, pitched camp just across the Sanpitch river on the west side of the valley, and in the month of March located what is known as Mt. Pleasant. ' A stone wall was built around two blocks, known as the "forts." Mr. Madscn was a public spirited man and always took great interest in the growth and upbuilding of the country. He was in terested in the first mowing machine brought into Sanpete Valley, also the first self binder or reaper. He became interested in open ing the first conl mines east of this city, supplying the settlers with coal. He was superintendent of the Mt. Pleasant Z. C. M. I. for many years and later organized as the Union Mercantile com pany, which is now the Madsen Mercantile company of Scofield, of which lie was president. He built the Mt, Pleasant Opera House and was a director of the Mt. Pleasant Commercial and Savings bank. He served twenty-two years as a member of the city council of Mt. Plensant and tvo years as treasurer. In 1907 when the citizens were preparing to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the settling of Mt. Pleasant ho was foremost in the erection of that beautiful pioneer monument which stands as a credit to the city. Mr. Madsen founded the Pioneer Historical association and was elected president, an office which he held at the time of his death. During the past four years of his life much of his time was spent in preparing n history of his life and family genealogy; also gath ering such items of interest and dates as to render it more com-, plcte. This work was completed by him August last, but as yet has not been published. Those who have seen Jus history regard it as a very interestinjr nlcco of work, especially to those families with the early organization of the Mormon church and the found ing and settling of Utah. Mr. Madsen Is survived by four children and seven grandchildren. The children are A. C. Madsen and Miss Hilda Madsen of Mt. Pleasant, Anthon Madsen nnd Nell M. Madsen of Scofield. Funeral services were held at the North ward chapel Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Bishop II. C. Jacobs presided. The open ing hymn, "Jeaus, Lover of My Soul," wns rendered by the ward choir. Prayer was offered by Elder Peter Monscn! The choir sang "Abide With Me." The first two speakers were Elder Peter Monsen nnd Bishop James Lnrsen. Miss Mabel Borg sang a solo entitled "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." George Christenscn then read a letter written by Judge Ferdinand Ericksen of Snlt Uike City for the occasion. President Adolph Merz nnd President C. N. Lund also spoke during the services. President Merz read a sketch of Mr. Madscn's history. T. J, Harrison sang a solo. Bishop Jacobs made a few remarks and the choir snng "Oh, My Father." The benediction wns pronounced by Elder J. W. Anderson. "The Prayer of An Agnostic" When the family of E. F. Richardson, the Denver attorney, who was killed in an automobile uccident last May, began to straighten out the dead man's affairs they found nmontr his papers 'The Prayer of An Agnostic." The origin of the prayer is unknown. RIchnrdson had found it one day and hnd liked it so much that he caused it to be printed in pamphlet form. The Sun gives this prnyer herewith, letting it speak for itself: 0, thou infinite, invisible, Nameless one, whom men must name, and naming call thee God if thou art, why may not men know thee as thou art? If thou art not, why should the thought of thee embitter and pervert the hearts of men? Thy worshippers are guessers, and guessing at the Divine riddle, men like children at play, fall out and quarrel, turning hnppiness nnd joy to strife nnd tears. In thy name they have built dungeons; piled fagots, and devised tortures from which life fled to the cool embrace of death, the last and only friend. They have called thee Maker of Paradise and Hell thou the Infinite nnd have said the glory of thy throne shone more refulgent, the music of celes tial joy was sweeter for the cry of anguisli nnd the sobs of Eain which rose nnd reached the heartless happiness of the lest. In thy name men have trampled into mire the sweet earth with blood touched with fingers of hnte every nerve of pain violated every holy human right cursed the world with every crime, this in thy name. Listening for thy un spenking voice men hnvo been heedless of the cry of a suf fering world; reading the revelation they said was thine. They hayp been blind to truth, deaf to reason, nnd enemies of knowledge. Following thee they have gone estray serv ing thee they have burdened their fellowmen. Dwellers in f ftecierlsJBestr 1 .Ehnw I I huts have built thy cathedrals and overlaid them with bnr I JMiric jrold Wearers of rags have woven purple nnd flno linen for Indolent tyrants claiming to act for thee. Priests have fattened while children cried for bread. And thou nrt God? Hatlst thou been mother, the cry of the children would have touched thy heart. Mary's tears as she watched tho death agony of the cross were kindlier than the silence In the skies. Help us to forgive thee. If thou wouldst hnvo thy name revered on earth, make kind nnd gracious thoso who embroider it on their garments nnd banish it from their hearts. If religion Is to endure among men, cast out from, it the devils of hntred and clothe it with comeliness of sanity nnd love. If thy temples arc to remain, open them to the light And make them hospitable to every honest thought. Since thou nrt silent, may men speak modestly when they speak of thee? Since thou nrt hidden, may moil not claim they see? And if in the illimitable mysteries of life and death there be those who, seeking cannot find, pondering cannot know who question the eternal silence in vain, who say at last thou art not turn not thou from them I May honest doubt find favor in thy sight; reason tinfearing walk tho earth; character bo counted as salvation's very self; the noble purpose nnd un selfish nim be dear to thee; virtue unbhiHhlng meet thy searching gaze, and love, the key unlocking nil the gates of joy If thou art God. D.&R.G. SURVEY IS HER SMDRIDGEs LINE RUNS SOUTH VERNAL DUGWAY The Denver nnd Rio Grande surveyors, headed by M. L. Mltton, locating engineer, have passed the Sandridgo on thoir wny to Ver nal, says the Myton Free Press. Many of the people of the Uintah Basin who have crossed that famous ridge will bo surprised to learn that the road will climb over on much less than a 1 per cent grade. Just how much less hns not been Riven out, but it is under stood it is nearer five-tenths than it is ten-tenths. It will also be surprising to learn that the altitude at the top of the ridge is lower than it Ih at the Co-Op corner In Vernal. At the tho latter point the altitude Is 5330 feet and at the top of tho ridge It Is ten feet lower. The survey runs from Myton to Independence in an easterly direction. At a point one mile west of Independence tho lino Is within four miles of Roosevelt. From Independence the line runs generally east to the confluence of the Dry Gulch nnd thu Uintah river, crossing that stream about one mile south of Fort Duchesne. From thnt point running south of the Chinaman's storo in a north easterly direction to the top of the Sandridgo, nnd from there easterly. The line will touch no higher points between Myton nnd Vernal than the top of the Sandridgo. The Asphaltum rldgo will be cross ed nt a point nlmut four miles south of the Vernal dugwny. The surveyors are camped about three miles nortliwest of Rnndlett. It has not been learned when another move will be mndc. Tho crew will likely suspend operations during thu Christ mas holidays. Chief Engineer Gwyn, who hns been spending somo time with the crews to tho west, will bo In the Basin for several days.
