Show "Builer" Called Beyond The Grim Reaper has been busy again and the past week took from our midst one of our prominent citizens, William Martin, Mar-tin, or at least that was the name he had placed on the birth Register after he was born, but to most everyone in camp with whom he was acquainted he was known as "Builer." Having dur ing the Boer War taken such a great interest in every action of his felloW townsman, General ! Builer, he soon acquired the non de plume. He was bora in Devonshire, De-vonshire, England, in October 1872 and came to this country some twenty-five years ago, during dur-ing that time he has been connected con-nected with the United States Mining Co., in Bingham, most of the time holding the responsible position of shift boss. On Friday evening he started on his duties, being night shift, I but feeling ill he was compelled to return to his room at the U. S. Hotel. A hurried telephone ;,! call to Dr. Kichards soon brought him to the hotel, who found on examination that he was suffering suffer-ing from an acute attack of pneu monia and ordered his immediate imme-diate removal to the Bingham Hospital and a special nurse was sent out from Salt Lake City, but in spite of all that could possibly pos-sibly be done for him, he passed away on Friday morning at 3 a. V, m. In the death of "Builer" the camp will miss one of its most congenial citizens, and the employees em-ployees of the U. S. Mine an affable af-fable boss. He was a member of Highland Lodge No. 21, Independent Inde-pendent Order of Oddfellows and during his membership had filled fill-ed the Noble Grand's chair of that organization. Funeral services were held on Sunday from the O'Donnell mag nificent new undertaking parlors which are situated at 32 South 4th East St., Salt Lake City. The services there were in charge of the Rev. Elmer Goshen, Gosh-en, who briefly eulogised deceased deceas-ed in chosen language. Mrs. Norman Atkinson, one of the city's most efficient soloists contributed two solos with much feeling. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The floral piece contributed by the employees employ-ees of the mine "Gates Ajar" was a real display of floral art. The services at the grave-side were under the direction of the leading Oddfellows of the State. The pall bearers were members of Highland Lodge No. 21, I. 0. O. F., of Copperfield, viz: B. K. Doman, Joseph Collier, Hartley Tyson, Joe Tibbola, Martin Chris tensen and George Reynolds. Interment was made in Mt. Olivet Cemetery under the direction di-rection of the O'Donnell Undertaking Under-taking Co. |
