Farr. Although the congregation was not so large as would have been the case had the elements been more propitious, still those assembled seemed to be awed by the extreme earnestness, profoundness and solemnity of the occasion. There was a good attendance of the presiding stake officers. It was shortly after 1 oclock when the casket, a chaste oak one with silver mountings, bearing the remains, was borne into the building by the pallbearers, John A. Boyle) Dr. J. X Allen, R. J. Taylor, Ezra Farr, Ed. Peerman, JL Dorland and honorary J. Owen and Jesse Brown, veterans of the Mormon Battalion, of which deThe ceased was also a member.. followed the relatives and family casket and occupied seats immediately behind the remains. There were many beautiful floral pieces sent principally by members of the family. The services were conducted by Bishop Wotherspoon, and after prayer a double quartette, under the direction of Joseph Ballantyne, gave a very sympathetic rendering of the hymns, Thou Dost Mot Weep to Weep Alone, and "When Dark and Drear the Clouds Appear." Elder Joseph Parry, who had been intimately acquainted with the deceased for nearly fifty years, was the first speaker. "Brother Farr was a mighty man," he said. "He took part in some of the leading events' of our church and people. He was something more than a pioneer; he was a pathfinder. Out of the country which he helped to conquer have been carved seven states and two territories. Millions of people have traversed the path since in a much different manner, and even a great railroad, the Union Pacific, followed the track which had been blazed by these men. They came and battled not only with the climate and the desert, but with the redskins." After briefly referring to his own early experiences he related some interesting incidents in the life of the deceased which he had learned from conversation with him. "When the deceased first came to Utah, he continued, "he brought with him from his starting point on the Missouri river two bushels of wheat and one half barrel of potatoes. Arriving too late to put the wheat Into the ground, and the potatoes would not carry over, he planted them. In the fall of the year he pulled np the vines and gathered about a handful of potatoes about the size of harrlcot beans. With great care he carried them over another season. That winter Captain Hunt came here from southern Califorla. Aaron Farr paid him one dollar for one potato, and In the spring he planted that potato, and that handful of small potatoes he had gathered, and from them he raised three and lf bushels of potatoes. They were so choice in his eye that he would not permit himself to eat any of those potatoes, but carried them over another year. He also bought a quantity of beans from Captain Hunt and planted them the second year and raised six bushels. How anxious that man was to bless humanity. He denied himself the privilege of using these potatoes so tht those who followed after might gqt the good and benefit of his self denial. He sowed the wheat and the wheat came up beautifully, but the crickets came in countless numbers and it was eoutlnualy warfare for him to try and Preserve his crop. He raised thirty bushels out of that two bushels and when I think of what the pioneers suffered so that others might be blessed I always feel a reverence for such nen wherever or whenever I meet them. Aaron Farr was a man of high aense of honor, he was a man that Va'ued his good name as being more Precious than silver and gold," and he concluded by urging upon posterity the emulation of his excellent and by expressing the deepest rmpathy for the bereaved family. Hon. Moses Thatcher followed. He "f &t considerable length, and in the course of bis address he said that he had studied the .character of the deceased for years and he could forty tenr his testimony that he was a good A more pall-beare- rs, - -- trans-continen- i tal one-ha- , ex-mP- le, man. After referring to the deceased's last visit to Logan, he related the circumstance that on the evening preceding his death he requested that his grandchildren should call on him and play some music. Seven of them called that night and brought their instruments. As they played, continued Mr. Thatcher, "there he lay like a patriarch, with smiles lighting up his features as he listened to the music and thought of days, when he himself had strung the Instrument He felt conscious of the fact that death was very near him; and yet under these conditions, scarcely able to express himself in an audible manner, calling out for the poetry of the soul, and In that little simple Incident Aaron Farr showed to me that he was among the noble souls of God. There are tribulations and trials in life that we have to meet; sunshine and shadow, laughter and tears go together but he who overcomes that which he meets In life and conquers and has gained the victory is the happy man. Who can gaze upon the features of that now dead patriarch in the church and say that death was not his friend? Mot a wrinkle. Peaceful and serene; transparent like marble, almost celestialis-e- d and God will raise it up and make it a fit habitation for a glorious spirit which was the companion of the body before us today. Mrs. Mary Farley and quartette followed with an impressive rendering of the beautiful hymn, What Voice Salutes." Apostle John Henry Smith was the next speaker. "While listening to the speakers, he said, he was led to the thought that when the books were opened and the departed, in common with the millions of unnumbered dead and that great bedy of patriots who laid the foundation of this latter-da- y work when the roll was called in his case aanother would resjiond: Mak er, I am here.' It was highly improbable that if the history of the world was gone over they could find another body of heroes and heroines who who had those could surpass clustered together under this dlspensa tlon. Mo choicer band was ever congregated together upon their Father's soil since man was tabernacled in the flesh. Referring to the deceased's mission work in various mission fields, he said he had dug the ditches and laid the foundations of commonwealths, and tried to Inspire men with high principles and faithfulness to their duties. Deceased was not only a pioneer of the Salt Lake Valley, he had labored among the Indian tribes and laid the foundations of new commonwealths. Such examples should be a beacon light to posterity. He had stood beside all tbe prophets of the church and all the witnesses of the Book of Mormon. He had been a civil judge and guarded the rights of the citizens. He had been true to his principles and true to the families that God had given him in his young manhood. He had been true to his country; true to every principle of righteousness and Justice and he had gone to his grave with the blessings of Heaven upon his head. He urged his hearers to cultivate the many excellent qualities of the character of the deceased, and closed by Invoking the aid and comfort of Heaven to the family and relatives. Hyrum M.

Some talk was made of making an effort to appeal the case to the supreme court of the United States, but this has been practically given up. It would be difficult to raise the money necessary for such appeal, and even If the money could be had it Is considered doubtful if sufficient grounds could be given to carry the case to such a high tribunal.
