Mr.Chairman — - Result — RESOLUTIO N Rarely in our city's history has the announcement of the death of one of her notable women left so profound an impression as occurred in the passing of :Srs. F. 0. Howard, who Wee. celled to the Great Beyond, June 24, 1944. For the good part of a generation, Mrs. Howard has been the .glorious moving spirit in the establishment of Memory Grove, in City Creek Canyon. Indefatigable in her own ener- gy, she has worked constantly to the end that this fine mem- orial might be fully worthy of the loved ones it commemor- ates. Not only has she not spared herself in bringing this beautiful canyon park into being, but she has also been ex- tsenely generous in the expenditure of her own personal funds. Furthermore, she has also used her fine enthusiasm to motivate others of our citizens to take en interest in this irnaortent public enterprise. It must be appreciatively said to .:rs. Howard': credit that she builded wisely. She sought the greatest counsel available in the land with the result that the developments in the canyon accord with the finest of landscape architec- tural practice. Lira. "oward's thoughtful concern respecting other Gold Star Mothers and her gracious interest in them have been among the most beautiful aspects of building Memory Grove. Ilr This friendliness has made for comforting relationships among these mothers. The administration of Salt Lake City feels a -?reat obligation to I!rs. "Toward. Her vision, untiring energy, and devoted initiative have given our citizens one of our most beautiful parks. Added to this also is the personal funds she has generously supplied and those she has en- couraged others to contribute. It is certain that don the years the memory of this -rest citizen - Gold Mar '.;other - Mars. E. 0. Howard, will be kept as fresh and green as the lovely lawns, majestic trees, prolific shrubs and plants cud flowers, which were planted under her wise direction. It is, therefore, resolved that the t3oard of Commission- ers of Salt Lake City extend to L. 0. Howard and family, its sincerest sympathy in the passim of the beloved wife and mother. May Providence bless them and comfort them in their great loss. May the glorious memories of this eminent citizen assuage the anguish of this parting. or the hoard of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah By Earl J. Glade 7 7/ 0 //),14 X.
