Henry Wedmore Died 1937

Though we have no authentic or definite information, we have heard it mentioned as we are closing the forms for this week’s issue that Henry Wedmore, an old time early-day resident of Ute, was buried here in St. Clair Cemetery Wednesday, the remains having been brought here from Council Bluffs.

Henry was Ute’s first restaurant and confectionery man, operating in a building that stood on the spot where our bank is now located.
