All that medical skill and tender nursing could do was done in his behalf. These combined with the prayers of his host of friends were of no avail beside the Grim Reaper.

Bro. Stott was born in Meadow, June 25, 1872. He married Sarah Ellen Bennett, July 19, 1893. To this union three children were born, Leo, Cleon and Melba S. Bushnell. He was ever an active builder and progressive man for his town, country and state.

His Church duties were not neglected he being Mutual Pres. for ten years, First Counselor to Bishop Jno. A. Beckstrand for a number of years, Supt. for Meadow Sunday School for ten years, in the missionary field eighteen months and at the time of his death was Stake Supt. of Sunday School.

The Host of friends and relatives at the funeral, from our surrounding towns and the far north, all bespoke the deep and tender love for friend and brother. The entire community extends their deepest sympathy to the family in their sad hour of bereavement. Funeral services were held in the meeting house Wednesday, Counselor Clem Duncan presiding. The opening songs were "Sometime We'll Understand" and "My Father Knows". Invocation was offered by Bro. Jos. Fisher and the Benediction by Bishop Alonzo Kimball of Kanosh. The following speakers paid tribute; Bro. A.J.T. Sorensen, Wm. Staples of Kanosh, Pres. Jno. A. Beckstrand, Co. Com. B. H. Peterson, missionary companion Bro. Nixon of Provo, County Clerk Wm. D. Melville and Benj. Goddard of Salt Lake City. Sister Grace Staples sang a solo "Calvary", Bro. Geo. Bushnell a solo, a quartet was rendered "We Shall Meet" by Bro. Tom Swallow, Geo. Bushnell, sisters Palonia Stott and Edith Bushnell. Bro. Heber Beckstrand of Delta dedicated the grave. A large crowd followed the cortege to the cemetery. The beautiful floral offerings were the most profuse and the crowd the largest the correspondent has ever seen in meadow. In our next issue a full account of the visiting relatives and friends will be published also the resolutions.
