To the Family of
Christian Henry Fischer,

Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Friends:
Last Sunday morninf, as must harpen to all men,
the hand of death took from our midst one of our truly emi—
nent Salt Take citizens, Christian Henry Fischer.
The administration of Utah's capital city, there—
fore, pauses this morning to make an official record of the
passing of a great character.
Christian Henry Fischer was born in Yurttemberg,
Germany, in 1871. As a boy in his teens he came to the
United States and fifty two years ago found his way to Salt
Lake City. His interests lay largely in the field of busi—
ness affairs, where, for years, he was successfully identi—
fied with the coal business.
It was, however, as a raster Yason of '.asatch
Lodge Number 1, and of the York :Ate and Scottish Rite bod—
ies that he especially distinguished himself. He rose to
the high rank of Grand Master of these bodies.
His most notable community contribution was his
sponsoring of the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children.
For twenty years he served on its hoard of governors, and
visited the unit at St. Narks Hospital every day during
these two decades. It is, without doubt, one of the most
beautiful instances of devoted loyalty to children in Salt
Lake City's history. Upwards of thirteen hundred crippled
children were cared for during Ir. Fisher's incumbency.
It is, therefore, with deep gratitude this morn—
ing that we pause in reverent memory of this eminent citi—
zen. He represented Salt Iake City, Utah, and America at
their best.
All of us should be mindful of the great example
C.H.F.--2
he set in the solicitude of the welfare of others. It will
long be a cherished memory in Salt lake City.
Therefore, on behalf of the members of the City
Commission, I bring to the children and relatives of Christian
Henry Fischer, our gratitude for the ion,- and useful life of
their forbear, our appreciation of this thoughtful benevolence
and our sorrow at his passing.
Respectfully submitted,
Salt lake City Commission
