After a brave and hopeless struggle extending over many weary months, George Dallas Allen surrendered at 3:00 p.m. last Sunday at the hospitable home of Frank E. King.

Fully two years go it became apparent to many of Mr. Allen's friends that he had contracted "miners' consumption," and that it was a question of months only before that slow and insidious disease would complete its work. But no word of discouragement was spoken to the doomed man who continued to be quite hopeful and cheerful to within a few days of his death.

George Dallas Allen was born in Janesville, Jefferson County, Wisconsin, December 1st, 1844, and was, therefore, 58 years and two months old last Sabbath.

Like thousands of other adventurous spirits, Mr. Allen was tempted to come west in the hopes of winning a fortune in the avocation of mining. In 1865 he arrived in Montana and engaged in placer mining. From that state he went to California, and afterward to Nevada where he worked on the Comstock. In '83 Mr. Allen came to Utah and worked in the mines of Little Cottonwood Canyon; afterward in Bingham and other camps in the northern and central parts of the state. During the winter of '93 and '94 Mr. Allen was employed in the Ibex mine in the Drum District southwest of Deseret. He then came to Marysvale where, except during brief intervals, he has since resided.

Like the large majority of miners Mr. Allen varied the monotony of mining by seasons of prospecting. The goddess fortune lured him on with the dazzling hope that eventually he would win. Like thousands of other western argonauts, the knowledge of the stern reality that the chase was ended came to him only when broken in health and with no means of support. He needed friends and found them in Frank E. and Mrs. King, two of Marysvale's oldest and most respected citizens, who have cared for the stricken man as tenderly and assiduously as though he had been a relative, and that, too, without other reward than the satisfaction which comes to sympathetic hearts in having ministered to the needs of a fellow mortal.

But George D. Allen was eminently deserving of sympathy and kindness for that was what he always dispensed unto his fellow men, and he so lived that in the geniality and sunshine of his own kindly nature there was no room in his humble sphere of life for ought save the warmest friendships.

Two brothers of the deceased live in St. Paul Minn., and a sister in Kansas City, Kan., and they were wired that George's life-journey had ended 

Funeral services were held in the Methodist church, on Tuesday, at 2:00 p.m., under the direction of Rev. Samuel Allison. A year ago the deceased expressed the desire, if compelled to surrender, that Rev. J.F. Price, of Monroe, speak at his funeral, and in accordance therewith Mr. Price was present and paid a justly high tribute to the character of the deceased who, while not allied to any church, was a Christian in its highest meaning.

It was one of the larest funeral assemblages ever seen in Marysvale. From the hills rugged and sympathetic miners came and dug the grave, then tenderly conveyed their old time friend to his final resting place in the Durkee Cemetery.

It will be a graceful as well as a strictly just and legitimate act on the part of the County Commissioners who meet next Monday, if reasonable appropriation be made to partially, at least, reimburse Frank E. King and his most estimable wife for their humane treatment of George D. Allen through his long illness. In every respect Mr. Allen was a legitimate county charge, but to save his pride no formal entry was made of his case. Those who so kindly cared for him during his long illness are rich only in the charity, kindness and human sympathy that ever wells up from the fountains of unselfish human hearts. They are well along in years and have deprived themselves of many comforts to minister to the wants of one towards whom every heart warmed, and who, by virtue of his honest nature and misfortune, was entitled to the assistance of the people of the county at large.

Mr. and Mrs. King will know nothing of this public request for justice in their behalf, and which, it is believed, will meet with the hearty approval of every tax payer in Piute County.

Kay Allen, 13-year-old son of Bishop and Mrs. M.D. Allen of Kingston, died at Panguitch from blood poison in a wound in his left leg caused when he fell from his horse and received cuts in his leg from the saddle horn. A bunchy of boys were racing and they came to a deep wash; a warning was called, but too late to save Kay and Arden Barnson, who was riding with him, from a bad fall.

The boy was taken to his home by H.E. Bay and later was removed to Panguitch for medical treatment. The little chap showed a great deal of fortitude in his suffering and hopes were held out for his speedy recovery, but blood poison set in, and in spite of all that could be done, he died early Friday morning

Besides his father and mother, he is survived by eleven brothers and sisters. This is the first death in a family of twelve children, the youngest but a few months old

Funeral services for Thomas Taylor Barlow, 17-year-old drowning victim, were conducted Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Monroe South Ward Chapel, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Bishop Clifford Jones presided.

The youth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy C. Barlow, 1481 Parkway Ave., Salt Lake City, drowned Friday afternoon in the Piute Reservoir. The body was recovered Saturday. He was a former resident of Monroe where he attended the South Sevier High School last year.

Companions of the youth, Duane and Carrol Hansen, and Lyle Nielson, all of Monroe, said he had attempted to swim to an inner tube but waves kept taking it farther into the reservoir. The youth called twice and then disappeared underneath the water, they said. One of his companions rushed immediately to Marysvale to secure aid.

Grappling hooks, nets and other dragging equipment were rushed to the scene from Piute County and from Sevier County Sheriff Clarence Smith's office.

The youth had been staying at Monroe with his parents to celebrate the annual Indian War Veterans and Blackhawk encampment. His parents had returned to Salt Lake City when the youths went to the reservoir to swim.

Officers said he had disappeared about 50 yards from shore midway on the west shoreline. The bottom drops off fast at that point and it was believed the lake is about 50 feet deep where the drowning occurred.

It was the second watery death recorded in the reservoir in less than a year.

Thomas Taylor Barlow was born in Salt Lake City July 29, 1935, a son of Roy C. and Ellen Taylor Barlow. He had lived in Monroe most of his life. Survivors include his parents, six brothers and sisters: Elroy, Richard, Paul, Barbara, Karma and Stanford Barlow, all of Salt Lake City, and a grandfather, I.W. Barlow, also of Salt Lake City.

The Henry L. Outzen family of this city and their many friends were shocked to hear the sad news of a double tragedy which occurred at about 9 o'clock Saturday morning in Marysvale in which the eldest son Henry was the principal actor.

The tragic event occurred in front of the home of Mrs. Laura Bell, one of the victims, and was witnessed by Mrs. Willamina Munson and one of Mrs. Bell's little daughters. It is reported that Outzen had visited the house of Mrs. Bell only a few minutes before to get a 38-55 caliber rifle which he had previously left there and that he was leaving the house presumably to catch the train for his home in this city, and that Mrs. Bell followed him to the gate where they engaged in conversation. The woman turned and started toward the house but had only taken a few steps when Outzen aimed the rifle at her head and fired, the bullet entering at about the base of the skull and emerging from the forehead. Mrs. Bell fell forward and died instantly. Outzen then turned the gun upon himself and sent a bullet crashing through his own brain. He died almost instantly.

The motive that prompted Outzen's rash act is a mystery and probably will always remain so. No quarrel was overheard between he and his victim, and there seems to be no evidence of any trouble occurring between them. Mrs. Bell was divorced a short time since from her husband and it was understood by close friends that she and Outzen were to have been married. She left three small children.

Funeral services for Henry Outzen were held from the Presbyterian church in this city at 11 o'clock Sunday morning and were conducted by Rev. E.J. Hanks. A large number of friends of the bereaved family were present. Burial was in the local cemetery.

About 5:40 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Van Borg, aged 15 years, of Marysvale, Vivian Manhardt of Kanosh, aged 17 years, and Ed Ashley of Marysvale were enjoying a swim in the Sevier river, about 400 yards southeast of the Marysvale depot. Adjacent to the spot where they entered the water in a bend of the river is a deep whirpool with strong under currents. Young Borg, who couldn't swim very well, plunged into the pool and soon found himself overmatched. Vivian, hearing calls for help, and seeing the danger of his companion, plunged in after Van, but the drowning boy grabbed the would be rescuer, and they both went down.

Just before the boys went below the surface, Mr. Ashley was attracted by cries from the boys, and observing them struggling and foundering, hurried to their rescue. By the time he reached them they had gone below the surface. He dived to get them and the two drowning boys took hold of him with a vice-like grip and he was compelled to get hold of a willow root and pull himself to the bank. In doing this the boys released their hold and Ashley climbed out on the bank and called for help. When help arrived a search was instituted and young Borg's body was soon located. The body of Manhardt remained in the deep water and it was at least 45 minutes before it was found.

All attempts to resuscitate the boys after they were taken from the water proved unavailing, as they had been in the water too long and life was extinct.

Vivian Manhardt is the son of Mr. and Mrs. D.B. Manhardt of Kanosh. He had been working at Marysvale since June 15. His body was taken to Kanosh on Monday for burial.

The remains of Van Borg were taken to Monroe for interment, the funeral being held in that city Monday. The unfortunate young man was the son of Joseph Borg, of Marysvale. He leaves a father, one sister and one brother to mourn his untimely demise.

Piute county's first fatality of World War II was reported by the war department Sunday of this week. The county man to fall before the guns of the enemy was Pfc. Ray Kenneth Brinkerhoff, foster brother to Johnson Ruby of Circleville. Mr. Ruby received the word in the form of a telegram from the war department Sunday morning of this week.

Pfc. Brinkerhoff met his death in the invasion of Normandy on June 16, according to the word received by Mr. Ruby.

Pfc. Brinkerhoff, 25-year-old machine gunner in the United States Infantry, was one of the first to be called to service from the county and among the first from the county to be shipped overseas. He took part in the African campaign and followed the forces into Sicily, after which he was sent to England to aid in training special troops for the invasion.

Upon arrival in England last October, he was given an extended furlough, which he spent in London.

He was born in Junction July 6, 1918, a son of Raymond and Louise Heap Brinkerhoff. His father died November 5, 1918, a victim of influenza, and his mother passed away two days following with the same illness. He lived with his grandfather, S.W. Brinkerhoff of Junction, until six months old, when he was taken into the family of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Ruby of Circleville.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Ruby succumbed to the second epidemic of influenza about a year later, and the child was taken into the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Ruby, also of Circleville. When the elder Mr. and Mrs. Ruby died, he remained with his foster brother, Johnson Ruby, who reared him to manhood.

He entered the armed forces in 1941. He was transfered to overseas duty in the early stages of the conflict.

He is survived by two brothers, Eldon Brinkerhoff of Tropic and Arnold Brinkerhoff, now living in Virgin, Utah.

Junction, Piute Co., Utah, March 10, 1885. Editor Deseret News: A fearful occurrence took place on the 4th inst. at about six miles south and west of this place, by which a little son of Jetson H. Button, nearly four years old, was burned to death. The circumstances, as related, were as follows:

The members of the family were all in the house when the little boy was seen on the bed examining his brother's coat, which hung against the wall, and it seems he took a match from the pocket and went out unnoticed. Going to the stackyard he set fire to some hay which was inside a building, composed of logs and lumber. He had crawled through an opening between the logs and got inside, and it is supposed that as soon as the fire began to burn, his place of entrance was blocked so that he could not get out. The notice of the family was first attracted by hearing him scream and on rushing out of the house they were horrified to find the barn and stable on fire and the chid inside. The wind was blowing at the time, causing the fire to make quick progress, and when the father succeeded in removing a board from the side of the building with the hope of making an entrance and rescuing the child, the flames puffed into his face and his efforts were in vain, and it seemed only the work of an instant until he saw the child raise its hands and fall on its face overpowered by the fire.

The nearest neighbors, who were some distance away, hastened to the scene, but all they could do for the child was to dash water on to the body and prevent its being burned to ashes, and it was not recovered until badly charred in places.

The loss of property to the family was heavy, but will hardly be noticed on account of the more deplorable circumstances connected with the sad affair. Mr. Button and family have the sympathy of the entire community in their heavy affliction.

Respectfully, John Morrill

Mrs. Lillie Anderson Coates, wife of Wilford Coates of Kingston, was instantly killed, and Mrs. Frank Chalk was so seriously hurt that her death is expected any time, in an automobile accident Wednesday night.

Mrs. Coates and daughter, Thurma, with Mrs. Chalk and her son, Ted, were the occupants of the automobile when the accident happened while coming down from the bench west of Kingston, near the Nephi Christensen home. The noise of the falling car, which had gotten out of control and rolled down the incline, over-turning three times, and screams of the driver and the women brought Mr. Christensen to the place of the accident. He assisted in taking the two women to his home, but Mrs. Coates was dead when the party reached the Christensen residence. The other occupants, Ted Chalk and Thurma Coates, were only slightly hurt.

Mrs. Coates is survived by her husband, five sons and one daughter.

In the death of Lemuel U. Colbath last Tuesday, one of the conspicuous figures in the western mining world was removed from this sphere of earthly activity. He was one of Utah's old citizens, honored and respected by his many friends. It is doubtful if throughout his long career anyone ever said an unkind word about him. He was richly endowed with those qualities which go to make up a good citizen. He was intensely devoted to his family and always charitable to those worthy of kindness.

"Lem" Colbath, as he was frequently called, was a native of New York. He migrated westward when but a mere youth having been attracted by the alluring stories of gold discoveries in California; when the mines of the Comstock lode began to astonish the world with their richness, he went there, and while the Goddess of Fortune was not as generous to him as to some others in those stirring times, yet he fared very well.

Mr. Colbath landed in Salt Lake City in 1872 and, becoming associated with Robert C. Chambers helped him develop and assisted in the conduct of the Ontario mine at Park City, which bears the distinction of having been one of the great silver producers of the world and which to this day is regarded as being a mine of immense value. He continued in the service of the Ontario as long as Mr. Chambers was alive and had something to do with its affairs until the control passed to the Bambergers a few years ago. He was thoroughly familiar with mining affairs in the intermountain states and notwithstanding the infirmities which age had brought upon him, remained active in his chosen work almost to the hour when the summons came.

Mr. Colbath's wife, whom he married in this City thirty-four years ago, died in the early nineties, but he is survived by three sons and two daughters to whom the sympathy of this community goes out in this hour of their bereavement. The funeral, which takes place Friday afternoon, will be in charge of Argenta Lodge No. 3 of Masons of which the deceased was a member.

MARYSVALE &endash; A 62-year-old Salt Lake City deer hunter was killed and his two companions injured Sunday about 5 p.m. when the Jeep they were riding in left a trail and overturned 100 feet down a steep canyon in the Dry Creek area 12 miles west of Marysvale.

Killed instantly was Charles N. Cropper, 2774 Melbourne St. He apparently died as the vehicle rolled on him.

Injured were John Vokert, 31, 3932 South Fifth East, Murray, with a compound fracture of the right leg and lacerations, and Roger Harris, 30, 1473 South Third East. Harris suffered lacerations and possible broken shoulder.

The Utah Highway Patrol said Vokert and Harris remained at the site of the accident during the night. They told officers they fired several shots from their rifles, and shouted, in an attempt to attract attention.

The men were finally discovered shortly after dawn when they heard an approaching vehicle on the road above them, and fired their last bullet ahead of it.

The driver, Bill Patterson, Marysville, Calif., stopped his unit to investigate and discovered the pair. Word of the accident was immediately sent to Marysvale, where officers were notified and rescue units organized.

Highway Patrol Troopers Dean Pierson, Junction, and Ken Clements, Panguitch, along with Piute County Sheriff Alan Simkins, led the rescuers into the area. Two four-wheel drive units were dispatched to bring the men from the accident, which was on a trail off from the improved Forest Service road, to a waiting ambulance, sent from Richfield. The ambulance could get to only within a mile of the accident site because of the rugged terrain.

The injured were taken to Sevier Valley Church Hospital in Richfield for treatment.

Other officers assisting in the rescue were Piute County Deputy Sheriff Gordon Peterson, Marysvale; Bill Fullmer, Circleville City Marshal and Norman Bowden, Utah Department of Fish and Game, Circleville.
