A well known teacher and educator. He was elected as Mayor of Heber, Utah in Nov. 1913 and served in that position until his death

Mayor Moulton Gone.

On Wednesday morning of this week the people of Heber were shocked to hear about the death of their mayor; John E. Moulton, as a result of complications starting with pneumonia. The funeral services will be held at the Stake Tabernacle today (Friday) at 1 o'clock.

Mr. Moulton is known by all and is highly respected. He has filled many positions of trust both in church and in civil life and has acquitted himself well. From notes given us by the family we produce the following:

John Ephraim Moulton was born at Heber City, Utah on September 16th 1860, was married to Isabell Tonks Thacker on March 23rd, 1882 and to this union were born eight children, seven of whom survive him. Viz. Mrs. Charlotte Giles, John T. Moulton, Addison C. Moulton, Deyce Bell Moulton, Albert T. Moulton, Ernest Dewey Moulton and Ethel Fern Moulton. Besides children and wife he leaves brothers and sisters, Joseph Moulton and James Heber Moulton of Heber, Charlotte Carrell of Grayson, Utah, Elizabeth Hicken of Heber, Charles Alma Moulton of Victor, Idaho. These together with many other relatives and friends mourn what seems to be the untimely death of the departed.

His illnes was of brief duration. On Wednesday night of last week he attended the show and after returning home and retiring took a chill. He was carefully nursed from that time until he died but without lasting results. Bright's Disease took it's part in weakening the system and when the fatal pneumonia set in, friends and relatives feared the result though they remained faithful til the last.

Tha family have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

Isabell and John took in nephew Claude Merlin Thacker to live in their home for six and a half years. They already had seven children at that time. John and Isabell had built their brick home in Heber City. John was very industrious and worked with several other men in the community making bricks to build their homes.

Both Isabell and John were active in church and civic affairs. He belonged to the Dramatic society and took part in many plays. When Heber 2nd Ward Chapel and the Amusement Hall was being built, he was head of the finance committee. He was Mayor of Heber City. He was very kind hearted and generous.
