RESOLUTION
Result
WHEREAS, GEORGE HENRY DERN, Secretary of War
of the United States of America departed this life on
Thursday, August 27th, 1936, and
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City laments the passing
of a distinguished citizen, a valued member of the community,
a beloved neighbor, one who brought honor to the State which
had conferred honors on him. In the death of George Henry
Dern who served an appreciative constituency with credit as
Chief Executive of the commonwealth and as an influential
member of the Presidential Cabinet, the nation, state and
city have lost a loyal champion of their interests, while
every law-abiding promoter of public welfare has been deprived
of the personal aid and encouragement of a willing and
efficient helper.
As a fellow-citizen, as a mining man of vast
experience, as an official in positions of great responsibility
and high honor, Secretary Dern was the same genial, approach-
able, neighborly gentleman, energetic but dignified, resolute
but tolerant, ambitious but reserved, positive but willing to
listen and learn, he filled every post of service and renown
in a manner to win opponents and enhearten associates, and
WHEREAS, in the inscrutable plan of an
Omnipotent Power, our friend and fellow citizen, George Henry
Dern has been taken from the arena of his earthly triumphs
at the zenith of a brilliant career and
WHEREAS, in his untimely death the City of
Salt Lake has suffered a serious loss and civic movements
-2-
of the municipality have been deprived of a potent factor and
liberal patron.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that We, the members
of the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah, on behalf
of the City, its entire administration and the residents there-
of, hereby express a profound sense of bereavement and extend
to the sorrowing family, sincere sympathy, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be spread
upon the minutes of this meeting and that a copy be sent to
the widow of the deceased.
Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City,
Utah, Friday, August 28th, 1936.
Temporary Chairman
