JAMES C. KEARL.

    James C. Kearl, deceased, was the manager of the Central Milling Company at
Logan and was regarded as a representative business man, substantial citizen and
devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was born at
Laketown, Rich county, Utah, June 13, 1883, a son of Christopher C. and Jane Ann
(Robinson) Kearl. When a little maiden of eleven years the mother was brought by
her parents to Utah in 1873, the family home being established in Rich county.

    James C. Kearl acquired his early education in the schools of Laketown and
of Rich county and later entered the Agricultural College at Logan, in which he
pursued a four years' course. In 1906 he was sent on a mission to England, which
he filled for two years. He then returned to Smithfield, Utah, where he entered
the employ of the E. R. Miles Mercantile Company, with which he was connected
for a year. On the expiration of that period he took up the profession of
teaching, which he followed for two years, and he was also actively identified
with the work of the church, being connected with the Benson stake in the
religious class. He afterwards removed to Logan, where he became identified with
the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association as a board member. His activity
in business circles was manifest in the position of manager of the Central
Milling Company, in which capacity he continued to serve until the time of his
demise.

    On the 21st of June, 1911, Mr. Kearl was married to Miss Melvia E. Daines, a
daughter of William M. and Elizabeth (Hatch) Daines, the former a native of
England and the latter of the state of Vermont. Her grandmother Hatch came to
Utah with a handcart company and settled in Lehi. Three children were born to
Mr. and Mrs. Kearl: Beatrice Hah, Barbara and Sarah Afton.

    Mr. Kearl was widely and favorably known and enjoyed the high regard,
confidence and goodwill of all with whom he was associated in every relation of
life. He was yet in young manhood when called to his final rest on the 22d day
of February, 1918, and it seemed that he should have been spared for many more
years of usefulness. His memory is revered by all who knew him, for he was a man
whose admirable qualities won for him many friends.
