He was a graduate' of the Hlg'.i school and formerly a member' of the Garfield .Lyceum and the Utah National Na-tional Guard. It was with deep regret for the low of a noble, promising life that hundreds hun-dreds of friends heard of. the, doatil of Harry Fulton. His illness mado ' rapid progress and on Sunday night it became apparent that the Master was calling one of His children home. The last hours of his life were calm , and his death i.eaceful and edify inrf. The last sacraments and all the con solatory rites of holy church were administered ad-ministered by Rev. Father Curran. The funer al was held on" Wednesday morning from St. Mary's cathedral. Solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Curran and the cathedra; choir rendered the Gregorian requiem under the direction of Miss Gleason, the organist. A special feature of the musical service was the exquisite rendition ren-dition of "Nearer My God to Thee," by Miss Agatha, Berkhoel, a dear friend and classmate of the deceased. Rt. Rev. Bishop Scanlan performed Ihe services over the body and preached the funeral sermon.' which was a beautiful tribute to the dead boy and very consoling to the bereaved Parents. His lordship began his sermon witn the words "Nearer my God to Thee" and all who heard the bishop felt thai Harry Fulton's brave, pure Spirit wa.i in very truth near to (rod. The floral offerings from many friends were ueautlful, particularly the set pieces.

At the conclusion of the services the handsome casket was borne from the church by six intimate friends and former for-mer classmates, who were Fred Smith, Warren Paul. Fred Leonard, Dod Riter, Sidney Beattie and Joseph Jeremy, Jer-emy, Rev. Father Curran read the solemn services at the grave, which wa lined on all sides with the beautiful flowers and leaves of autumn. One very sad, feature was the absence from the city of James Fulton, who is at present In Mexico on mining business and does not yet know of his brother's death. Few young men in this city will be as sincerely mourned as Harry Fulton, and many fervent prayers will be offered of-fered for His soul. Of a strong, bright nature, his heart was generous and true, his mind had I only thoughts for kindly deeds and cheering words. He was an ideal son. and from a Christian point of view his life was in every way what his near-1 est and dearest could wish. His home life was most happy and many hearts ache for the brave little mother, who is trying with earnest Christian resignation resig-nation to accept her cross. Nothing but the consolation of knowing know-ing that he has attained the only perfect per-fect happiness, can comfort the bereaved be-reaved ones. His life that was so full of promise was too brief, for the world would be better if many such men as Harry Fulton lived. His labors done, God has taken him to rest, far beyond life's toils, cares,' its hopes, joys, its weariness and sorrow. sor-row. He has gone to his Father and may his spirit rest in the peace that is eternal. Those who mourn realize that their greatest consolation will come from the knowledge that the life of their boy was a model and inspiration to all. The early lessons of virtue and honor instilled into his youthful heart by a worthy mother were not wasted.' To Dr. and Mrs. Keogh is extended sincere sympathy. May they be comforted com-forted with the remembrance that their loved son has passed into the eternal rest with God's beautiful peace upon him forever. |
