Besides a large number of friends and relatives of Roosevelt, many from Vernal, Neola, Bluebell, Leeton, Bennett, and other more distant points gathered to show their last respects for the deceased.
The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful and testified of the high esteem in which the deceased was held.
Mrs. Pickup leaves to mourn her loss, two sons, Ray of Vernal and Alton of Neola; two daughters, Mrs. Lola Richens and Mrs. Rylla Fjeldstead of Roosevelt and a number of grand and great grand children; two sisters, Mrs. Densdale, who was present at the funeral and Mrs. Fannie Dudwick of Ogden, and a host of friends.
The deceased was a member of the LDS Church. She was the daughter of a personal friend of the prophet Joseph Smith.
In her humble walk in life, Mrs. Pickup lived to honor God. She was ever desirous of doing that which her ability and duty required and at whatever cost, abiding by the laws of right and justice. She was an exemplary wife, a mother of whom it may be said, "Her children rise up and call her blessed" and a friend whose memory will never fade.
A more detailed account of the early pioneering life of Mr. and Mrs. Pickup, whose history is so closely associated with that of the LDS emigration and settlement in Utah, will be given in a later issue.
