Obituary[1]Pioneer Resident To Be Buried At Services Today
Funeral services are to be held at 2 o’clock this afternoon in Rogan Chapel for Ned Oscar Darling, 70, pioneer resident of the Rock Springs region, who died Tuesday at his home in the No. 6 district. The Rev. E.L. Tull is to officiate.
Born on Christmas Day, 1869, in Lehi, Utah, Darling came to Rock Springs in the spring of 1898 and had made his home in Sweetwater county for the past 42 years.
Darling had worked nearly all this time for the Union Pacific Coal company. He was the first stable boss at Reliance and opened up the first big U.P. boarding house there together with his brother-in-law, M.J. Dankowski.
He was married to Annie Walters, a sister of Mrs. Dankowski, and member of a pioneer Rock Springs family. In addition to his wife, Darling is survived by a son, Eugene Darling, a draftsman for the Curtis Aeroplane corporation in Santa Monica, Calif., who at present is confined with influenza and will be unable to attend funeral services; a daughter, Mrs. Earle Pulley of Farson; four brothers, John of Seattle, Wash., Charles of American Fork, Utah, and G.A. Darling of Lehi, Utah; and three sisters, Mrs. Oscar Holmstead of Lehi, Utah, Mrs. J.P. Crookston of American Fork, Utah, and Mrs. G.A. Peterson of Albuquerque, N.M. His mother died 10 years ago, his father six years ago, and three other brothers are dead.
Darling had been in ill health for the past year but had always maintained a spirit of cheerfulness and was unselfish in his treatment of others.
His body is to be taken to the family home at 8 o’clock this morning where it will remain until shortly before time of funeral services when it will be returned to the chapel. Burial will be in Mountain View cemetery under direction of Rogan Mortuary.
