PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN
Hyrum H Hymas died last Sunday morning and he had been seriously
ill with typhoid fever during the past two months. The deceased was born in
Liberty, Bear Lake county, 38 years ago next month. He had lived in this valley
since his birth and had been active in many walks of life. He was a firm
conscientious Latter-day Saint and lived a most exemplary life. He acted as
counselor to Bishop Austin of Liberty for several years and after his removal to
this city about ten years ago was appointed first counselor to Bishop Humphreys
of the First Ward.
He aided in the promotion of the creamery and confectionary industries in this city and his loss will be keenly felt in business circles. He leaves a wife and four children. The funeral was held in Paris tabernacle Tuesday afternoon. The Tabernacle choir furnished beautiful music. The opening prayer was offered by Elder J U Stucki. The speakers were Bishop Alma Findlay, Elder Samuel Matthews, Bishop E N Austin, President W W Richards, Bishop H T Humphreys and President J R Shepherd.

Mrs. H H Hymas has received from the Beneficial Life Insurance Company of Utah through local agent W W Richards, the sum of $2000 the amount of life insurance carried by her late husband. The money was delivered within two weeks of her husband's death, which speaks volumes for the promptness of the Beneficial Life. This company was promoted by Utah capitalists and its president is Joseph F Smith. The premium on the policy was paid by Mrs. Hymas shortly before her husband's death through a thoughtful suggestion on the part of Agent Richards. Mr. Hymas also had a policy of $1000 in the New York Life which it is expected will shortly be paid.
