Show OUR NEIGHBOR . . . The small community known for years as, "Butler," and yet in later years as, Cottonwood Heights, will long remember one of its loved neighbors, H. Carson Healy for whom funeral services were conducted Saturday. Not for his fame in the world but for his life as a true neighbor. The Healys came to the community when it was but sparsely settled and only those who loved the towering majestic mountains, and the somewhat pioneer life, lived in the Cottonwood Canyon. Here they farmed their acreage and planted nursery stock, their second love. Their first love was people and they took time out to become acquainted and make friends with their neighbors. He took time to study for he was a student He loved good literature litera-ture which he knew for he read of the best books. He loved his church and had respect for the beliefs of others. He loved people and took time for them and received love in return. "Life is eternal" are but words to many but H. Carson Healy's life here was indeed eternal for his works will always live in the memory of those who knew him. True, "only God can make a tree7 but man was given the commandment to cultivate God's handiwork Brother Healey did that. He loved the growing things and shared the fruit of his labor with his neighbors. The many homes in the area are more beautiful because of his work, and yes, only God can make Brother Healy did that. He loved the growing things and shared may grow more beautiful to the joy of the whole community. He lived an eternal life. He was our neighbor. |
