WHEREAS, Mr. F.S.Fernstrom, City Claim Agent
and former City Councilman departed this life Thursday, August
26th, 1943; and
WaHEhEAS, Mr. Fernstrom was a highly respected
citizen, a christian gentleman and a trusted servant of Salt
:, 1 Lake City, whose memory will be cherished by a loving family
and a host of friends and associates.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the
S Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City hereby attests its
high appreciation and personal regard for the life and
standards of Mr. F. S. Fernstrom.
P
He was a man of integrity, loyalty and
willingness to serve his City and community and was a high-
minded citizen and a loyal friend.
Mr. Fernstrom was born in V+enersborg, Sweden,
March 26, 1852 and came to Utah in 1876 as a convert of the
Mormon Church, and took a keen interest in public affairs and
in politics and was elected to office of Councilman for the
` Third Ward in January, 169E and served as Councilman for
thirteen years, or until the old form of City &overnment was
changed and the Commission Form of Government displaced
councilmen, but Mr. Fernstrom was out of the City Government
for only two months when his services and his knowledge of
civic affairs, particularly concerning lands, ownership and
history, were so needed by the City vovernment that he was
brought back into the employ of the City as Claim Agent, a
place he retained until the time of his death.
In behalf of his many friends and his associate
we extend to the family of Mr. F.S.Fernstrom our heartfelt
sympathy. Vve share with them the sadness of his departure.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolu-
tion be spread upon the minutes of the Board of Commissioners
and that an embossed copy be forwarded to Mrs. Fernstrom and
members of the family.
