Mrs. Nina Hall of Naples Passes Away After Long Illness
(Naples Correspondent)
Mrs. Nina Nielson Hall of Naples wife of Grant Hall and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nielson, passes away Tuesday, after a long siege of illness and suffering resulting from cancer. Funeral services were held in the Naples ward chapel Thury afternoon.
Mrs. Hall was born August 26, 1896. She died at the home of her father in Naples ward. On October 1, 1918, she was married to Gran Hall, son of Henry Hall of Price, and formerly of Dry Fork.
In the passing away of Mrs. Nina Hall, the people of Naples feel that one of earth's noblest women has left our midst. Her life was above reproach and will always be an inspiration to those who knew her. Her mother died when she was a very lie child, and she of necessity encountered much that would otherwise have embittered a less brave and sunny disposition.
She with an older sister and young brother, took care of the home, making life as pleasant as possible for an aged father. Her friends were many, both old and young. In her recent affliction she has been patient almost to a fault, and when thast hard hours came she said. "Oh, I don't want to complain. I am not afraid to die for I have done nothing to make me afraid to meet my maker."
She was energetic in the activities of the ward until she moved away at the time of her marriage, which took place in Vernal and was later solemnized in the L. D. S. Temple in Salt Lake City. She with her husband lived in Wellington until shes brought to Vernal the later part of August. During the past summer her husband took her to the L. D. S. Hospital for treatment, and has done everything possible to relieve her suffering, but after much suffering for two months the end came peacefully.
She leave a father, three sisters, four brothers, her husband and three little boys, the youngest being by 15 months old, to mourn her loss.
The entire community extend their sympathy to the bereaved relatives and husband, who have been left in this sad hour. | Nielsen, Nina Blanche (I5194)

My great-grandmother Minnie Sorensen Adams, loved hats and I borrowed one to wear at a tea when I competed for Miss Twin Falls in 1959. She also liked to drive to Jack Pot, Nevada to gamble and would tell everyone to give her money for Christmas so she could go to Jack Pot with her friends. She danced with her son Hamer Adams on his 50th wedding anniversary and it was in the newspaper. Her husband John Q Adams died in about 1943, when I was only about 1 year old. She never remarried, but had a special friend named Joe Snodgrass. He took care of her until she died. I have photos of her holding my first 3 children when they were babies. She was always very active and lived to be in her 90s.

Nelson Merkley Pioneer Of 1879 Buried Sunday. Ambition Of a Life Time Was Beautiful Home Built On Original Homestead Made 45 Years Ago And On Which No Mortgage Had Ever Been Placed.
At 12:30 a.m. Friday morning there passed from this life the spirit of Patriarch Nelson Merkley, peaceful and quiet as the life he had lived. He was conscious to the very last moment fully realizing his time had come for his departing from this life and his loved ones. His house was truly in order at the time of his departure. His counsel and presence will be solely missed by his family and many friends, for few indeed ever found fault with this just and Godly man, whose life has been an inspiration to all who came in touch with him. The cause of death was pneumonia and the eighth time to have the disease.
Nelson Merkley, the oldest son of Nelson and Sarah Jane Sanders Merkley, was born March 24, 1857, at Carson Valley, Nevada. His parents were Utah Pioneers of 1848 and had 13 children, seven only who are now living. Mr. Merkley was the third to pass away in the last three months. John Merkley of Tridell died in January and Mrs. W. P. Britt April 7. Those who survive are George D., Vernal; C. E., Duchesne, Utah; Charles, Vernal; Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, Wellington, Utah; and only one not in attendance at the funeral; Henry, Gusher, Utah: William S., Vernal. His mother, in her 83rd year, still survives and lives at his home. His father died 22 years ago.
In July 1879, he and his chum, James Hacking came to Ashley Valley, built cabins on their present homesteads and returned for their families and a company of others, arriving here in October and spent the hard winter when nearly all were starved when their provisions ran out.
On June 9, 1884, he was married to Miss Keturah Peterson, who was also one of the pioneers of the same company and who survives him. To them were born 9 children, three of who died in infancy and one 6 years ago. Ellis, Ezra, who died in 1919 of flu; Mrs. Helen Colton, Gusher, Utah; Milton and Sarah who died in infancy; Mrs. Mary E. Sander, Asher and Miss Margaret Merkley and Kate who died in infancy.
Of the original homestead he gave 40 acres to his father as did also his brother George D. that their father could give each younger brother 20 acres of land. On the remaining 120 acres the deceased has made one of the finest farms in the country. He has never placed a mortage on the land or sold an acre of the ground. Never from the first crop in 1880 has he been out of hay for his stock or wheat for the family.
When a young man his one ambition was to own a farm and build a home. He never passed by a good home with stacks of hay, he did not declare to himself he would have the same. How well he accomplished his mission his famiy and neighbors can testify.
On his homestead a deep ravine ran diagonally across and was the drain of the entire section. This he filled up and the land is now watered directly across it. Most of this was accomplished within the first few years of his residence.
In the spring of 1880 his horses were so poor it was only possible to plow a round or so a day and then turn out to pick the green grass. From then on he never allowed stock to suffer on his farm. When the reservation was first opened he had considerable hay which he sold at market price. Of the many who came to his place for hay and grain he never charged them for their horse feed or meals at the home where they always ate as many as seven in a single night.
At one time they were requested to store wheat which he did, many thousands of bushels When the time came to dipose of it when the country was without in place of charging a high price he gave the wheat away to those in need. He built the first brick house in Ashley Valley. His one object in life being the making of a real home. He left no great accumulated wealth but rather a legacy rich in good deeds with his family in a comfortable home.
He plowed the furrow for the Ashley Central Canal, unsurvey, directly in front of his land, and when told the water would not run that way said that it had too as he needed the water. He built good roads and maintained them around his farm to keep teamsters from being stuck in the mud and swearing. The trees planted around the farm were secured at the Green River. He was water master of the Central Canal and worked all day to 4 o'clock to fix a break, on the day of his marriage.
He was the second counselor to Bishop George Freestone, was made a Patriarch in 1894 and also served as high counselor. He gave 403 patriarchal blessings, the first February 10, 1895, and the last December 30, 1923. At the time of his death he was president of the High Priests quorum.
The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Uintah Sake Tabernacle with Bishop Hyrum B. Calder of Vernal First Ward presiding. An estremely large crowd from every ward in the Uintah Stake and practically all of the towns of the Basin were present to pay their last respects to the beloved Patriarch and pioneer, their friend and to so many a counselor as well.
The flowers covered the casket and for the time of year were profuse. The decorations of potted plants including Easter lilies gave a serene setting for the last rites, peaceful as were his closing hours. The pallbearers were of the High Priests quorum: County Assessor James M. Shaffer, County Road Agent John L. McConkie, M. M. Batty, Bishop of Glines Ward; George E. Wilkins, Bishop of Vernal Second Ward; Andrew Dudley Jr., of Jensen and Charles A. Hardy of the High Counsel.
A special double quartet composed of Miss Mima Davis, Miss Gus Davis, Miss Alice Olson, Mrs. Haller Witbeck, Byron Goodrich, Warren Jones, Fernando Ellingford and H. Walter Woolley, with Miss Pearl Shimmin at the organ, sang "Come Come Ye Saints," "Oh My Father," "Prayer Is The Soul's Sincere Desire" and "Though Deepening Trials."
President A. G. Goodrich offered the opening prayer and Patriarch Harmon Sowards pronounced the benediction.
James Hacking, a lifetime chum of the departed from his boyhood days, was the first speaker. Choking with emotion and grief only contolled by his geatest effort, the speaker told of the life of his chum and friend for 56 years, having known the departed since 11 years of age. The tribute paid him only bore the impression of whose who came in contact with the deceased in this life. Among other things he stated that he never in his life heard an oath uttered by him, no matter what the provocation never heard him speak an unclean word or speak evil of any person.
Forty-five years ago they came to Ashley Valley together, suffered together with their companions during the hard winter of 1879-80 and never heard a word of complaint from his friend, He lived like he died with a full trust in the Lord and His goodness.
Alfred H. Powell was the next speaker and told of his associations with the deceased for the past 40 years and of the upright character of his friend.
President Wallace Calder with words of consolation to the bereaved family spoke of the faithfulness of Patriarch Merkley. He stated that at any appointment made whether in ward or stake affairs, that it was said of him that he was always at his post of duty.
Bishop Hyrum B. Calder spoke a short time. Mr. Merkley had always been found doing his duty and was loved by all which was testified by the immense throng, many who had come from long distances to pay their love and respect to their friend.
Interment was made in the Vernal Cemetery with President Ernest Eaton dedicating the grave.
