Services Held For Louis Sweat

Funeral services were held in the Stake Tabernacle last Saturday for Mr. Louis Sweat, under the direction of the Center ward with counselor Don Duke conducting.

Services were opened by a quartette composed of bishop Walter Montgomery, Ralph Giles, Nell Ohlwiler, and Mrs. Grant Bond, singing "We Thank The O God for a Prophet," followed by the opening prayer by John Peterson.

The speakers at the services were A.Y. Duke, Clay Cummings, and Bishop Joseph Olpin, all of whom told of their acquaintance with the deceased and gave praise to his sterling qualities and extreme honesty and fair dealing with his fellow men and the success he had made in rearing a large and honorable family.

A special musical number "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine," was beautifully rendered by Afton Thacker and the closing number was a rendition of "Oh My Father," by the quartette with Miss Sarah Carlen at the piano.

Benediction was pronounced by Andrew Lindsay and interment was in the family lot at the Hober City Cemetery.
