From A Breakfast Club to Website Instruction, Chamber Has Busy Schedule Ahead

Pictured: The Payson & Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce office is located in the historic Downtown Payson business district, at 22 South Main.

Members of Payson & Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce have their collective calendars filled
with events in the coming weeks.  Chamber President Ty Jones laid out a few of their activities earlier
this month as he spoke briefly before the Payson City Council.

The Breakfast Club, said Mr Jones, is a continually running event conducted for members by the
Chamber of Commerce in the early morning hours.  Breakfast is shared, as is some advice by a guest
speaker whose leadership experience can be useful to the local business community.

In an effort to help local business owners establish a shop space online, Google representatives are
slated to give a demonstration on websites at an upcoming Chamber event, remarked the organization’s
president and owner of a historic downtown Payson business, The Insurance Center.

Mr Jones also presented the Business of the Month Award to Sugar Ridge Bakery and Soup proprietor,
Melanie Keck, at the early March Payson City Council Meeting.  Thursday, March 21, marks an on-site
presentation to Sugar Ridge, which is located at 17 South Main Street, Payson. It runs from 12-1 PM.

Mourning the Passing of Friends: Forthcoming Funeral Services

Forthcoming funeral services are planned for the following friends from our community. Complete versions of these obituaries may also be found in The Payson Chronicle.

Arthur (Ted) Nielsen

Our father / grandfather, husband -  has rode ahead, leaving us with an American tapestry of sweat stained hats, worn out gloves, saddles, bridles, hammers and saws. All wrapped together with baling twine and barbed wire.  Arthur (Ted) Nielsen passed us by on March 6, 2019, in a painless exit from this life. It was fitting as he had endured much.

Ted was born in Loa, Utah, May 7, 1931, to Anton Arthur Nielsen and Evangeline Potter.  He grew up as a boy on the hungry slope in Payson. He lost his mother at age four. Ted and his kid brother, J. M., kinda helped their father build the house on the South end of town by the mouth of the canyon.  It is the house he remodeled in ‘74’. It is the house where he passed away.

Ted lived a life big, bold and full.  He attended local schools and graduated from Payson High.  In the summers he worked for Bamberger Ranch from age 13 to 19.  Along the way he attended College, entered the army service where he was severely injured in a car wreck..  Ted married our mom, Joan Wood in January of 1953 and together they raised five children in the house on Fifth East.  Joan passed away in 2009 and Ted married Beth Braithwaite in 2012.

Our father Teddy was a singer, boxer, arm wrestler, chicken fighter, football player for Dixie College, farmer, union carpenter, race horse breeder, owner, trainer, and an avid reader with a colorful memory of his experiences.  He was one of the original organizers of the Payson Horse Racing Association. He loved fast horses!

Our dad is survived by Beth, his children John (Margaret), LuAnn Wignall, David (Deborah), Marian (Christina) and Nancy.  Beth’s children Julie (Dixon) Fairbanks, Richard (Carolyn) Braithwaite, Jeff (Chris) Braithwaite, Roger (Kim) Braithwaite, with sixteen grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren.

Please bring your hugs and memories to join us for a celebration of his life / open viewing will be under the direction of Walker Mortuary, Tuesday March 12, 2019, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM followed by a funeral service beginning at 11:00 AM.  The location is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 11 South 600 East, Payson, Utah.
