Obituary for Thomas Hood (22 Oct 1931) - Star Valley Independent

Thomas H. Hood, son of Peter and Mary Neil Hood was born in Scotland in 1868 and died October 10, 1921 at Fairview. He came to America with his mother in 1882, his father had come to America some time before to prepare a place for this family among the L.D.S. people. The family settled at Almy Wyoming. In 1890 he and Annie Easton were united in marriage in the Logan temple. In 1892 this young couple with one baby moved to Fairview, Wyo. where they have always had a home.
Music was Bro. Hood's hobby, and he made the most of his ability along that line. While he was in the State Legislature he was i9nstrumental in getting several bills passed, among them was the "ban bill". At that time Bro Hood was appointed State Band Master. The family have the pen that Governor Emerson used to sign the bill, and a little note which read: This pen was used by Gov. F. C. Emerson in signing the "Band Bill" (O.H.B. No 25) H.E.A No.17 at 10:57 A.M. February 4, 1929. Some of the other bills he helped to pass were bills to i8mprove mining conditions.
Bro. Hood labored in the mines for several years. He worked himself up to the responsible position of Gas Inspector, which he held for eight years. He was highly recommended for the job by P.J. Quealy.
Before Bro. Hood left Almy he had organized a band. Soon after he reached Fairview he organized "The Free silver Band" which he kept going for years.
In Kemmerer at the time of the mine explosion when 99 men were killed, Bro Hood made a canvas of the city and raised $2500.00 to buy musical instruments for the boys and girls and taught them to play free of charge, thus bringing much peace and contentment to those who were mourning.
Since his return from Kemmerer, where he has been for the past eight years he had already organized the Valley Band and the Children's Band.
While he was Star Valley Stake chorister, he gave a concert every three months. One of his most ourstanding pieces of work was the rendition of the "Vision". He was the Fairview ward chorister for many years; he also served in this same position while he lived at Kemmerer.
He leaves his widow and nine children to mourn his loss. The children are: Mrs Will Gomm, Huntsville, Ut. Mrs Paul Robinson, Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs Roy Beachler and Ralph Hood of Kemmerer, Mrs Erza Campbell, Easton, Flora, Niel and Francis of Fairview.
Funeral services were held Wednesday October 14th at 1 p.m. Bishop brown presided and conducted the services. Mrs Roy Beachler, daughter of the deceased played a beautiful funeral march.
The choir under the direction of Ronald Allred sang "Praise to the Man". Prayer by N. P. Lee. Arch Gardner and Nellie Roberts sang "An Angel From on High", with the choir joining in the chorus. The first speaker, Bro Wilford Cranney of Smoot, thought it should be a time of rejoicing, because Bro Hood was so well prepared to go. He said Bro Hood had made use of the talent God gave him, by teaching music wherever he went and that he always had a ready hand to help those less fortunate than himself.
Arch, Dean, Lloyd and Ivan Gardner sang "Loves Old Sweet Song".
President Clarence Gardner said that nothing turns us to each other more than song. He said Bro Hood's life was one of song and harmony and that the person was lucky indeed, who could look back and see that his life had been one of usefulness as the case with Bro. Hood. He was very glad that we, as a people believe in the here-after.
Bishop Brown stated he was glad that we hadn't waited until bro Hood was dead, to speak our words of appreciation. He spoke about the times when the Hood family helped to pioneer the valley.
