Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us together gone far, when he noticed a train some distance down the track. It backed to where he was at. The conductor asked him to ride and he gladly accepted. Imagine the surprise of his companion when he walked down the street and met him. Another incident, he and his companion administered to a young man that hadn't walked for six months. He returned to the house in one week. The young man came down the walk to meet him. Another testimony of the power of the Lord. He was a fine shooter; few fellows could best him shooting. His brother Jack tells this story of his hunting days. He said, "We were hunting deer when we saw two deer across the canyon from us. I just handed Will old 'Reliable,' a gun we could trust. He took aim and when the shot rang out, both deer fell, shot through the neck." He did mischievous things many times, as all boys do. One time he, with the help of some other fellows, put the running gears of a wagon on top of a man's barn. He was a good sport - never winning by unfair play. He was a friend of the wayward, never judging harshly, had compassion for people's shortcomings. He was a strict observer of the Word of Wisdom, a very moderate eater, seldom ever eating a second helping of anything. He was a man of great faith. He enjoyed taking long walks and had good health all his life. He loved all kinds of sports, baseball, football, basketball, seldom did he miss a game. It was after a basketball game between Coalville and Morgan, when he walking home from it, he was struck by an automobile. It broke his leg, which resulted in his death a month later. He died April 5,1936, at the age of eighty-six years and thirteen days. The Morgan Tabernacle was filled with relatives and friends at his funeral. He was faithful to his callings in the church and was very merciful to the faults of his fellowmen and a friend to the distressed and the orphans and widows and true to all his relatives and friends. ©19 ■
