Show DIED. It becomes our sad duty to record the death of a man, than whom very few in our community were more highly respected. Brother John Parry, master mason of the Temple and president of the high priests quorum in this Stake of Zion, passed away at about noon on Tuesday, May 14, at his residence in the 5th ward. He had been in feeble health for a considerable time past, but it was not generally supposed that dissolution was so nigh at hand. Father Parry was an aged and faithful veteran in the cause of truth, having become identified with it in his native country, Wales, in the early days of the introduction of the gospel into that country. Of the more prominent events of his life, we hope to be able to give a sketch in a future issue, for his was a record well worthy of preservation among the Saints. |
