Henry Garrett, Bountiful's well known butcher, passed away at his home in Bountiful, about ten o'clock Monday morning of pneumonia after a five days illness.

A few days prior to his taking sick, he attended the funeral of a brother-in-law, David Rice, in Idaho, where he contracted a severe cold which turned to pneumonia.

Probably no one will miss the deceased more than his mother who is over eighty years of age and whom he called to see every morning when he went to work and every evening when he was returning home.

Deceased would have been sixty-two years old had he lived until the seventeenth of this month.

He was born in Willinghall, Warwickshire, England, Jan. 17, 1846.

At the age of twenty, he emigrated to Utah with his parents, arriving here Sept. 18, 1868.

With the exception of a few years in Nephi, the deceased lived in Bountiful.

He is survived by two wives, fifteen children and twenty-three grand children. Seven children and three grandchildren preceded him to the great beyond.

Mr. Garrett's father was a brickmaker in his native country and when the family arrived here the deceased with his father and other brothers engaged in brick making. The made some of the first brick ever made in this state. Deceased was engaged in brick-making for a number of years in Nephi, Bountiful, North Salt Lake, and Ogden.

The past fifteen years, deceased has run a meat market in Bountiful.

The funeral services were held in the Bountiful Tabernacle today noon. The speakers were, Elders Charles R. Mabey, Jed Stringham, J.G. Evans, Richard Stringham and Thomas Waddoups, Pres. Grant, Alfred Burningham and Thomas Briggs. The Attendance was large, about forty vehicles following the remains to the cemetery.
