Eson Milton Freeman passed away Aug. 16, 2008, at his daughter's home.
He was born in Ucon, Idaho, March 28, 1914, to Milton John and Lydia Stewart Adams Freeman. He was called to serve an LDS mission from 1936 to 1938 in Canada.
He married his sweetheart, Maurine Dustin, in the Salt Lake LDS temple March 8, 1940. They had six children.
Milton farmed in Osgood, Idaho, until finding a position as a laborer in the AEC Plant when it opened in Arco. He studied and achieved his journeyman electrician's license. He volunteered as a civilian electrician in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968. He worked in construction until his retirement in 1976. He worked on small motors for Kirby vacuums plus being a door-to-door salesman.
He held many positions in the church, including bishop, young men president, a teacher of many organizations and a fireside favorite. He and his wife served two missions: Hartford, Conn., in 1986; and Fiji Islands in 1988.
Milton's mind was sharp right to the end and he never lost his sense of humor.
He is survived by two daughters and two sons, Myrna Allen, Marva Ward, David Milton (Nancy) Freeman and Dallas Dustin (Penny) Freeman; two sisters, Lavela Petersen and Nada Meikle; 22 grandchildren; and 40 great-grandchildren.
