SUDDEN DEATH OF LITTLE BOY
The people of this city were shocked Sunday evening to learn that George Blaire, the ten year old son of Dr. and Mrs. G. F. Ashley, had passed away at the Montpelier Hospital at 8:50 that evening. Blaire has been confined to his bed for a week with inflammatory rheumatism, but his condition did not become serious until Sunday afternoon, when his heart became affected. He was moved from his home to the hospital, where everything possible was done for him, but to no avail.
Blaire was an unusually bright and lovable little fellow and will be greatly missed, not only by the members of his family, but by his teachers, playmates, and many other acquaintances. He was the youngest child in the family and is survived by his parents and one sister and brother, Wanda and Gordon.
The funeral services were held today from the Second Ward Chapel, being in charge of Bishop Herman Hoff. Interment was made in the Montpelier Cemetery.

PROMISING YOUTH CALLED BY DEATH
George Blair Ashley, ten year old son of Dr. and Mrs. George F. Ashley, gave up the fight for life Sunday evening at 8:45 o’clock when the grim reaper stealthily entered the room where he had been confined since the previous Tuesday, and claimed the young life.
Blair, as was so well known among his many little friends, complained of a pain in his foot a week previous of his demise. In spite of this pain Blair attended the special services in the tabernacle and took part in a special number on the program. He was compelled to go to bed Tuesday on account of inflammatory rheumatism setting in. Although he was under the care of all the local physicians and the best trained nurses, it seemed that Blair was destined to part this life, for everything possible was done to relieve him of his pain and bring him back to health.
Blair was a student of the Lincoln school, where he had reached the sixth grade. He was a bright, studious boy and always had high marking in his classes, which is indicated by promotion to the sixth grade at his age. Surviving Blair besides his father and mother, are a sister, Miss Wanda, and a brother, Gordon, besides many relatives and friends.
Largely attended funeral services were held in the Second Ward chapel yesterday at 2 o’clock. Bishop Herman Hoff presided and the choir sang “The Deep’ning Trials.” Following opening prayer by Pres. Silas Wright a quartette was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Mumford, Mrs. Gene Burgoyne and Lyman Crockett, the selection being “Lead Kindly Light.” The speakers were Bishop Hoff, W. E. Morgan, Pres. Henry Hoff, D. C. Kunz, and Pres. Ed. C. Rich. F. M. Williams sang a solo between speakers, and Mrs. Lottie Grosjean rendered in her beautiful way, the solo “Going Home.” The benediction was offered by Bishop S. E. Burgoyne.
The floral offerings were most profuse.

FUNERAL SERVICES LAST WEDNESDAY
The Second Ward Chapel was crowded to capacity last Wednesday by relatives, friends and acquaintances of Blair Ashley, little son of Dr. and Mrs. G. F. Ashley, who passed away the Sunday before, and the funeral services were beautiful and impressive.
The opening numbers were a selection by the choir, “Though Deepening Trials” and prayer by President Silas L. Wright. These were followed by a selection by a ladies trio, composed of Mrs. Delbert Fackrell, Miss Arthella Findlay and Miss Thelma Findlay, pianist, Mrs. Lorenzo Findlay, all of Randolph, Utah, after which opening remarks were made by Bishop Herman Hoff, who conducted the services. A talk by W. E. Morgan followed, after which Frank Williams sang the solo, “Absent”. President H. H. Hoff and Bishop D. C. Kunz then spoke briefly of the life of the little boy, and expressed their sympathy for the survivors. This was followed by a vocal solo, “Going Home” by Mrs. Lottie Grosjean, and closing remarks were made by President Ed C. Rich. The closing hymn “Lead Kindly Light”, was sung by Mrs. Eugene Burgoyne, Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Mumford and Lyman Crockett, after which Bishop Sidney Burgoyne pronounced the benediction.
Six little friends of the deceased acted as pall-bearers and his school mates carried the large number of floral offerings, which silently spoke of the love for the little boy and the sympathy felt for the members of his family. Following the services at the church, the remains were conveyed to their final resting place in the Montpelier Cemetery.
