ELY- Morse-Fall Lake firefighter William Orion Lloyd Fearn of Ely. passed away Monday, July 17, due to a car accident on County Road 88 north of Ely.
Fearn’s body returned to Ely on Wednesday evening in a procession of the region’s police, EMS, and fire vehicles, on a route that came up through Virginia, passed through Tower at 7:25 p.m. and arrived at Ely around 8:45. The procession entered Ely on Highway 169, and turned at Central to circle Miners Lake.
As steady rainfall started around 9 p.m., the procession reentered Ely on the east side of the city, traveling west on Sheridan and turning south on 3rd. A right turn on Chapman followed by an immediate right turn on 2nd brought Fearn’s remains under a huge American flag hung by the Ely Fire Department next to City Hall. Fearn’s casket was then delivered to the Kerntz Funeral Home across the street on 2nd Ave.
