The Victims of the Alta Avalanches in the Silent Grave
One of the saddest and most impressive processions that has ever passed through the streets of Salt Lake was that which yesterday followed the remains of the victims of the late Alta avalanches to their final resting place.
At 10 o'clock a.m. the funeral of T. Burt Lee started for Mount Olivet, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, the pall bearers being in full uniform. There were sixty-one Knights in the ranks. The uniformed Knights made quite an imposing appearance in their new and handsome regalias. Mrs. Campe, of this city, sent to the committee a beautiful momento in the shape of an anchor, artistically arranged with wax flowers, which will be sent to Burt's family in New York. Great credit is due to Mr. Skewes for the manner in which he arranged the remains.
At 1 o'clock the funeral procession of Mrs. Jonathan Hoskins and her daughter, J. J. Fitzgerald, Will Hollingshead, Frank LaPorte, Evan Morris, and John Haworth, formed in front of the Sexton's office, on First South street. Rev. Mr. Barrows conducted the funeral services, after which the bodies were taken out, the remains of J. J. Fitzgerald, Will Hollingshead, Frank La Porte, Evan Morris and John Haworth were placed in an omnibus, and those of Mrs. Hoskins and daughter in the only two hearses on hand.
There were at least seventy-five carriages, buggies, etc., in the procession, and the sidewalks were lined with people who could not secure conveyances. They were buried in the City Cemetery, five in one grave, Mrs. Hoskins and daughter side by side, and Fitzgerald, LaPorte and Morris in front. Hollingshead's remains were interred in Mr. Strickley's lot, while those of John Haworth were taken to the northwest corner of the cemetery and there buried by friends.
