Councilman Beauregard Succumbs to Bright's Disease

In the death of Peter Beauregard, who died on Saturday morning last of
Bright's Disease, Fillmore has lost one of her most progressive citizens
and hardest workers for the public good.

Born in Denmark 67 years ago, Mr. Beauregard early became inured to hard
work as a boy, and as he advanced to manhood, this quality stuck with him
as has been evidenced by the progress he has made since coming here in
1862, with nothing but his two hands to depend on and a willingness to
work. In 1868 he returned to his native land for the purpose of bringing
out a colony of his people to Utah and returned with this colony to Fillmore
the same year. It was here that he met Miss Lizzie Tarbuck, who was one
of the emigrants under his charge and the acquaintance quickly ripened
into a love as a result of which the young couple were married the following
year. One child resulted from this union, Mrs. Lizzie Payne of Fillmore,
although the couple legally adopted L. J. Wade and took care of his sisters
until they were grown up and also did the same by another young man by
the name of Harry Locke.

He leaves besides his wife and those already mentioned, two sisters and
two brothers to mourn his demise. They are: Marinius Beauregard of Gunnison,
Utah, and N. J. Beauregard, Mrs. O. H. Huntsman, and Mrs. Edward Davies
of Fillmore.

Mr. Beauregard was a Black Hawk Indian War Veteran and did his share to
guard the homes of the people here along with the rest of those brave fellows
when depredations were being committed by the Indians at that time.

In the fall of 1915, Mr. Beauregard was elected a member of the City Council
of Fillmore and since his election has worked unceasingly up to the time
of his death, for the best interests of the people and especially for the
public improvements that are now under way here. He was a good, conscientious
Latter-day Saint, true to his convictions in whatever he undertook to do,
whether of a private or public nature.

The funeral was held from the L.D.S. Chapel on Monday afternoon, the speakers
being Wm. B. Higgins, Alonzo Huntsman and James A. Kelly, all of whom spoke
of the sterling qualities of the deceased and uttered loving words of comfort
to the remaining members of the family he loved so well. A solo was rendered
by Mrs. Katherine Rasmussen in a fitting manner after which interment took
place in the City Cemetery, the Pallbearers being the Mayor, 4 remaining
members of the City Council and the Marshall of Fillmore.

He has gone, but the works that he did while alive will remain to rise
up as a monument to his memory than which there is no better remembrance.
May his spirit rest in peace.
