Funeral services were conducted Saturday at the Payette Church of Jesus Christ 
of Latter Day Saints for Lorell Lee Dick, 69, and his wife, Mabel Elizabeth 
Dick, 68, both of whom died in an auto-train crash in Payette last Wednesday.
 
Bishop Robert L. Kane of the LDS church officiated and interment, with 
military honors, was at Riverside under the direction of Shaffer-Jensen Memory

Mr. Dick was born July 7, 1899, at Lawrence, Neb., came to Spokane with his 
family in 1903, and moved to Buhl in 1905, returning later to Spokane by

He began working for the Union Pacific Railroad in 1917, and served during 
World War 1 as a balloonist with the Army in France.  He suffered wounds 
during the war.
 
Returning to the Rupert area after the war, he married Mabel Elizabeth 
Brewerton at Burley on August 14, 1921.  The marriage was solemnized in the 
Idaho Falls Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 
August 29, 1964.
 
The family moved to Nampa in 1923, and to Payette in 1924, where they had 
resided since.  Mr. Dick had farmed at Payette since 1946, and retired from 
railroad work in 1966, after 49 years of service.
 
He was a member of the LDS church, a charter member of the Veterans of Foreign 
Wars post at Payette, and was serving as post commander at the time of his 
death.  He also was a member of the Veterans of World War I and was active in 
the American Legion.

president of the Legion auxiliary at the time of her death.
