!From the obituary of Samuel L. Vandel.
Samuel Vandel was a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. For many years he had been a member of the Masonic lodge, and many of his best friends are numbered among the members of that order. He was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was a cornerstone in his community, known as a man of honor, truthfulness and justice. As a husband and father, no family could have asked for a better man. To his brother, he was more than a brother, he was the Big Brother. After passing from this life, men of his type and character live for a generation in the hearts and memory of those who knew him.
