Jack Chew, Oldest Basin Citizen, Dies at 102, Funeral Held Sunday
Funeral services for 102-year-old John Hoyle (Jack) Chew, the oldest resident of the Uintah Basin, were conducted Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Jensen ward chapel.
Jack Chew, as he was known to everyone, died at a convalescent home in Salt Lake City last Wednesday, August 25, fourteen days after his 102nd birthday. Death was attributed to age.
Mr. Chew was born August 11, 1852 in Sabdin, England, a suburb of the city of Bl[a]ckburn. His parents, Phoebe Hoyle and William Chew, made a living as weavers in the cloth mills at Bl[a]ckburn. John came to America with his mother in 1864 with a group of Mormon converts. John Hoyle, his maternal grandfather, had left England in 1856, came to Uah and started a store in Nephi. In 1864 he sent for his daughter who brought John and his youngest sister. The rest of the family remained in England.
A few months after John arrived in Nephi he was sent to live with a neighbor to learn farming and care of stock. At 15 his mother died and John began making a living for himself and his sister. By the time he reached 29, he was making a living breaking and training horses and raising a few cattle. He married Mary E. Metcalf in Fayette, Sanpete County July 9, 1881. She died December 17, 1950.
In the year 1901 John took up a homestead on Douglas Mountain, east of Vernal, and continue his stock business there until 1911. Then he bought Pool Creek ranch just above Echo Park, sold out his holdings on Douglas Mountain and continued his business on Blue Mountain and at Pats Hole. He retired in 1920.
Survivors include seven sons, Harry, Craig, Colo.; Mark M. Wadsworth, Nev.; Burton, Berkeley, Calif.; Doublas and Rial, Vernal; Ralph, Jensen; and Reine, Santa Ana, Cal.; five daughters, Mrs. Ethel Jefferson, Denver; Mrs. Avvon Hugel, Phoenix, Mrs. Viva Smith, Long View, Wash.; Mrs. Jean Robinson, Vernal; and Mrs. Nola Burdick, Torrance, California. There are 27 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
Bishop Warren Billings conducted at the services for Mr. Chew. Mrs. Margaret Caldwell gave the opening selection with a violin solo, accompanied by Ruby Fife.
Opening prayer was offered by Orvil Dudley. The speakers were Driver E. Smith and Victor Wilkins. The songs included, “Nearer Home,” by Gerald and Margaret Caldwell, accompanied by Ruby Fife, and “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” by Carwin Snow, accompanied by Marie Poulson. The closing prayer was offered by Moroni Moon.
Burial was in the Jensen cemetery where the grave was dedicated by Percy Stewart. Paul-bearers were five sons and a son-in-law, Ralph, Reine, Rial, Douglas and Harry Chew and James Robinson.
