' He wss a stroug man in Colorado, then In Montana, before he came to Utah ; in every place the same, .a man who was seeking Vo better his own condition but never forgetting all the duties of citizenship, and fulfilling every private and public trust with absolute fidelity. Three or four yeare ago his eyesight eye-sight grew dim and finally entirely failed, and since i then in the darkness he baa directed auch business as he had not already settled, and waited for the summons that came yesterday. Hs was a true man and a born gentleman ; ha filled tha full measure of his duty on earth and not ona reproach will follow fol-low him to the grave. Aa a rule the public do not appreciate what auch men aa waa Mr. Hanauer was to a community; do not appreciate his character or his work. The average man put him down aa a . plodder, inten, upon and altogether absorbed in bis own affairs, and never knew that aside from all tbst he wanted Salt Lake to hav the best govern- ' ment, the best schools, the best of all things that go make a place the moat desirable place in the world because it has exsmples of the best citizenship, the surest progress.' the best that could be. The light of his eyes weut out. the light of hia soul grew purer and clearer. God rest thst soul in pesce. |
