Show Obituary. We published yesterday yester-day morning a short notice of the death of Mr. John H. Atchison. Since then we have learned more of the kind of man hu was, and desire to add to what we have already said, that ho was eminently a man of the people of the men who constitute the state. No fame had given him prominence, but he had won au abiding abid-ing place in tho hearts of the many who knew him on tho Pacific coast, by the discharge of the honest duty that every man owes to his fellows in business busi-ness relations. Ho never held an office, of-fice, but he will be held in warm remembrance re-membrance and mournful regret by tho many who in his various business ro lations never koew him to do an act that was wrong or a deed that was uncharitable. We love to honor the memory of a man like John H. Atchi son. It shows that deep down in the heart of humanity thcro is yot left a truer and holier feeling of respect for the memory of a man who lives a private pri-vate lit'o and discharges its duties faithfully, than for tho man who through adventitious circumstances has gained power and place. Over the graves of the latter hypocritical tears arc often shed; over those of the former for-mer ovary tear shed is not only tinged, but mado up, with grief, and the highest eulogy that living humanity ever can or does pay to a dead fellow mortal, is a sincere grief. He will be buried this afternoon, at I o'clock, from tho .residence of his son in-law, M. Kirkpatrick, Esq., at the corner of Third South and West Temple streets; Bight Rev. Bishop T little olfioiatin. |
