Elton Clynn Roberts, 91, of Annabella, Utah, passed away peacefully in the East Lake Care Center in Provo, Utah Monday, May 26, 1997, surrounded by his loving family.
He was born February 4, 1906 in Annabella to Killick Elton and Edna Mae Gardner Roberts. He married his childhood sweetheart, Clara Hilda Savage, October 10, 1927 in Annabella, Utah. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. She preceded him in death on July 30, 1993.Prior to Clara's death, Elton had lived his entire life in Annabella, where he was a farmer and rancher. He hauled the lumber off Cove Mountain by horse team for the home he and Clara shared for over 50 years. Their home, yard and garden were always well groomed. For a number of years he ran cattle on Monroe Mountain. He loved the outdoors and was a well known deer hunter, trapper, and guide.
Elton was an active member of the LDS Church where he served in many callings, including Bishop of the Annabella Ward and served in the South Sevier Stake Presidency for many years. He was a sought after speaker in funerals and over the years delivered over 150 funeral sermons. He and Clara served as ordinance workers in the Manti Temple for many years. He was a very compassionate man who always looked after the needs of the poor.
After the death of his wife, he resided with his only son and daughter-in-law in California for a short period of time. When he returned to Annabella to settle affairs, he fell and broke his hip. After a brief recovery, he moved into the Beehive Home in Richfield where he lived until his last hospitalization.
