VERNON - Joseph VERNON was born in Wales, in 1819, died at the Saints' Home,
Lamoni, Tuesday, February 28, aged eighty-six. Mr. VERNON joined the English
army in his early manhood, and was sent to Capetown, Africa, shortly after.
While there he labored as a Baptist missionary. He, with his wife, removed to
Utah, from thence to Sacramento and later to Oakland, California where they
resided until three years ago, when they came to Lamoni to spend their
remaining years at the Home. Mrs. Vernon proceeded her husband to the better land
shortly after they came here, and since that time, Mr. VERNON has prayed to
follow her. Death had no sting for him. The sermon was preached at the Home,
Wednesday, by Elder A. H. SMITH, a long-time friend of the deceased, and the body
was interred in Rosehill by the side of his faithful wife.
