TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND
(By a Friend)
Once again the grim reaper of death paid a visit in Ogden, Utah, this time
taking one of the very first of our lower valley pioneers, Aaron Heap.
Aaron was the first white child born in the Lower Valley. He grew to manhood
attended school and was married in the Lower Valley.
After he established a home in Thayne he became postmaster and operated a
general merchandise store in the same building for a number of years. Later he
expanded his business, built an addition and was the first man to operate a
general implement and hardware store in this valley.
When Aaron, wife and family decided to move from Thayne, it was a loss to
everyone, a loss which was never replaced in our community,
Aaron was loved and respected by all. He was a man who was a friend to
everyone. No one ever entered Aaron's store and asked for a favor but what that
favor was granted.
As a neighbor there was no end to his deeds of kindness. He was always very
quiet but he carried a heart of gold in thoughtfulness.
He was not a pretentious person, but lived as nearly as possible "The Golden
Rule".
He died as he lived, without having a known enemy.
