He had failings, as we all have, but his good works live in the hearts of the Saints, whilst his failings are forgotten.

A great number of the brethren and sisters from Cedar City, with the choir, went to Hamilton's and followed the reamins of Brother Fife to the cemetery in Cedar City, where they were deposited.-Com
