[Ann Wheeler onwards.FTW]
Bishop of Bennion, Cottonwood Stake, Utah 1928 to 1930+. Ordained Elder
04 Jun 1906 by H.T. Godfrey. Ordained a High Priest 22 Mar 1919 by James E.
Talmadge. He was set apart as a Bishop 20 Feb 1928 by Orson F. Whitney.
Filled a mission to New Zealand 1906 to 1909. This is where he met his
first wife, Evelyn May Pearse, and converted her and her family to the gospel.
Upon arriving back from his mission, he sent for her to come to the United
States to be his wife.
From Pearse Book by Hyrum Bristow Wheelwright (pub. July 1975), pg. 85 (in
possession of Kathy Williams Chatterton):
On 28 Aug 1950, Thomas Orren Labrum died quickly and suddenly, in the
field of his farm that he loved, of a coronary occlusion.
Crowds were turned away from his funeral, and the Bennion ward meeting
house was full to overflowing with mourners.
A motorcycle escort accompanied the longest Cortege the mortuary had ever
witnessed from the Church in Bennion to the Murray City Cemetary. He will
ever be remembered by all who knew him.
This man was a man loved by his family and the community as well. He was
a man who never spoke unkindly of anyone.
His home was one of peace and quiet, never raising his voice to scold or
reprimand. He would romp and play with the children when they were young. So
often the family would go for a ride in their car and he would tell them about
nature--of canyons, of formations of mountains, of land, lakes, rivers and
streams, of cloud formation, of sky, of the lovely sunsets, of sweet
experiences in New Zealand, which he called "God's Country", and of his home
and family life in South Cottonwood, Utah.
His life had been one of service and quiet example to his family, and his
Church. He was a man of God who loved the gospel and his family.
BURIAL: Marker is in furthest Northeast section towards the front road, mid
