  Obituary: William Heber was born 1 December 1855 in Provo, Utah. He graduated fr o m the eighth grade in the Provo City Schools. He married Blanche Whipp l e 6 April 1880. They were the parents of eight children: (1) Elsie bo r n 12 January 1881, married John Javaine, (2) Mary Ellander born 15 Jan ua ry 1883, married Byron Clark, (3) William Heber born 13 June 1886, die d y oung, (4) Ralph R., born 27 Nov 1889, married Florence Jones, (5) Haz el D ell, born 31 May 1892, married Ara C. Davis, (6) Edson LeRoy Donal d H. bo rn9 July 1889, married Myrl Hansen. William built his first home on Seventh West and Fifth South across th e s treet from the home of his parents in the Provo Second Ward. Willia m an d his new bride moved into this home on 6 April 1880, their weddin g day . Later, he built at 12th West and 6th South. The children rememb er th e happy childhood days in this home on the road to the old communit y “Sou th Pasture” where the cows in the neighborhood were turned into th e lan e each morning and driven to the pasture, and returned in the eveni ng. T his was the “event” of the day. The children remember the summer of 1888 when typhoid fever claimed th e l ife of William Heber Jr. The water in the surface well became contam inat ed, their mother and the three older children were seriously ill wit h th e fever. After William’s death Dr. Pike, the family physician and o nly d octor around at that time, advised Heber to take his family to th e mounta ins to help speed their recovery. With the family cow tied to t he wago n loaded with provisions, they went to the head of the Provo Rive r, now c alled “Mirror Lake”. Heber found employment with a logging comp any. H e chopped timber and floated it down the river to the sawmills . He worke d there all summer, returning in the fall with a well, happ y family and m oney for a substantial payment on the farm . The farm consisted of forty acres and was purchased in 1886. It had a s p ring of water that measured 3 ½ gallons per minute, and it is still run ni ng. During the summer they lived in a log cabin on the farm and move d t o town for the winter. In 1905 they built the home on the farm now o wne d by their son Roy. They raised peaches and sugar beets. This far m cons isted of 68 acres and was later sold to their son-in-law Ara Davi s . In 1921 they retired, moved to Provo, built a home on 7th West and Cente r , where they spent their remaining years. William Heber died 24 Octob e r 1937 of causes incidental to age. Blanche Whipple Stubbs died 13 Dec em ber 1936 at Provo, Utah of cerebral hemorrhage. Both are buried in Pr ov o City Cemetery Block 4, Lot 80 east of First East between Third and F our th North. The descendants of this good man and wife, all members o f th e Church, number 8 children, 20 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildre n i n this year of 1864. Informant Hazell Stubbs Davis.
