Death Stills Hand Of Loving Wife And Mother

Mrs. Ashley Bartlett Mother Of Nine Children Buried Friday - Vernal Second Ward Chapel Crowded To Capacity With Sorrowing Friends - Beautiful Floral Tributes From Friends, Stake and Ward Organizations.

Not for many days has a gloom passed over Vernal as it did Thursday morning when it was announced that Mrs. Winnie Bartlett, wife of Ashley Bartlett and mother of nine children had passed to her great reward at 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday August 3, 1921. Everyone was her friend and they were saddened by her death.

The cause of her death was a complication of diseases which resulted in kidney trouble. Mrs. Bartlett had been in feeble health for some time but her death was unexpected and a terrible shock to her family and friends. She was an ideal wife and mother, loving and affectionate. She leaves her husband, nine children, father and mother, brothers and sisters and other relatives to mourn her death.

Her children, five boys and four girls are Ethlynn, Rulon, June, Lucille, Maurice, Ardell, Shirley, Dean and Carroll. Her father, Bishop George P. and mother, Lydia Y.

Mrs. Bartlett was always a studious worker in the church and held many positions in the various ward and stake auxilliary organizations until her health became so impaired she was compelled to give up her various church activities. Mrs. Bartlett was a member of the first graduating class of the Uintah Academy in 1898.

The high and loving respect in which she was held by all was made manifest in the beautiful floral offerings from her many friends and the various ward and stake organizations. It was by far the largest display of flowers ever made in Vernal. The pulpit, choir loft and bier were a mass of beautiful flowers. The following floral tributes were given: Vernal Second Ward YLMIA floral blanket with the word mother; stake YLMIA, large golden star with the word WINNIE; Vernal Second Ward choir, harp; pillow, Boy Scouts; pillow with white star, Beehive girls; pillow, Vernal Band; Mr. and Mrs. Pontha Calder, large bouquet lavender phlox; large bouquets from the officers of the Stake Primary organization. There were offerings from all ward and stake organizations, also from hundreds of friends.

Funeral services were held Friday afternoon, August 5, at 3 o'clock at the Vernal Second Ward Chapel, which was crowded to standing room. The casket was borne by George H. and Ross Bartlett, George Victor Billings, John Merkley and George A. Slaugh, member of her class in Uintah take Academy and Bernard E. Gardiner of Jensen, an old time friend. Bishop George E. Wilkins presided. The opening prayer was by Patriarch Harmon Sowards. The grave was dedicated by Thomas Bingham of Maeser. The speakers were Wallace Calder and President A. G. Goodrich, who paid glowing tribute to the sterling Christian character of the departed and offered consoling words to the bereaved relatives. The benediction was by Patriarch Nelson Merkley.

By request, the Vernal Second Ward choir under the direction of Professor Wiiliam F. Hanson sang, "Through Deepening Trials," "The Lord Is My Light," "Abide With Me" and "Thy Will Be Done."

Interment was in the Vernal cemetery. The YLMIA had lined the grave with white and banked it with flowers. The Boy Scouts and Beehive girls of the Vernal Second Ward each placed a bouqet of flowers on the grave.
