John Hazenfratz, an old and respected resident of the Paris 2nd
ward died very suddenly of heart disease on New Years morning at about 9 am of
66 years. Mr. Hazenfratz has been a sufferer for over a year, some kind of
growth having developed immediately over his heart and as there was no cure for
it, the end was not unexpected.
The funeral services were held in the ward hall on Jan 2, at 2 pm where consoling and appreciative remarks were made to the bereaved relatives and friends by Bishop Robert Price, who officiated; Bishop John Kunz, Judge Alfred Budge and President J R Shepherd.
All paid a glowing tribute to the noble character and kindly and cheerful deposition possessed by the deceased during his long illness. The hall was well filled with sympathizing friends and the services were peaceful and impressive. The favorite hymn "O My Father" was nicely sung by Alfred Shepherd during the service. The ward choir furnished music for the occasion.
Mr. Hazenfratz was born June 18m 1842 in Asen, Donaa Ershingen, Baden Germany. Was married in July 1869 and baptized into the church Nov 23, 1871 by Charles H Wilken; emigrated to July July 1, 1874, arriving in Salt Lake August 4. From there he moved to Richfield in November of the same year where he and his wife joined the United Order, under which they lived about two years and a half, when that order dissolved.
From Richfield they moved to Lehi in 1877, and in 1881 they moved to Paris, where they have since resided. Mr. Hazenfratz filled an honorable two year mission in Germany and Switzerland and was an active worker in the cause of truth at home as well as abroad and died in full faith of the gospel.
