On Monday, September 12th, 1921 death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Hall, and bore away their little daughter, Afton. She had been ill only one week. It was at first thought that she had contracted typhoid fever, but almost immediatymptoms of infantile paralysis developed and though everything possible was done for her nothing was of any avail.
She was taken ill on September 5th, her tenth birthday. Besides the grief stricken parents, she leaves a sister, Wilda, and two brothers, Reed and Mark,
Funeral services were held in the open air on the lawn at the home at 5 o'clock Monday. Bishop H. B. Calder presided. Beautiful singing was done by a quartet composed of Elfreda Davis, Jessie Hislop, Ashley Bartlett and Clive Davis.
The opening prayer was offered by Seymour B. Snow and the benediction by Bishop Calder. The speaker was President Don B. Colton, whose words of consolation and comfort to the bereaved will greatly help them to bear the burden of their loss.
Interment was made in the Vernal cemetery. Bishop Calder dedicated the grave. The flowers given sympathyzing friends were profuse and beautiful completely covering the grave.
