Obituary - Alvin Barber, 88, passed away on Saturday, August 26 in the LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah. He was five days from celebrating his 89th birthday. Alvin was born August 31, 1911 in Vernal, Utah to John and Claudia May Massey Barber, the fourth of seven children.

Alvin moved from the Uinta Basin to Provo in 1926 with his family. Alvin worked for the CCC's during the 1930's, both in Utah and Idaho. He worked for Boeing in Seattle from 1939 until 1947 when he moved to Salt Lake City where he resided until his death.
