Obituary - Funeral in Cannon Ward for Esteemed Matron

Funeral services for Mrs. Lillian Hamlin Cannon, wife of former Bishop Lewis M. Cannon of Cannon Ward, who died in St. Catherine's Hospital at Santa Monica, California November 30, will be held in the Cannon Ward Chapel at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Sunday. The body may be viewed at the home, 1216 South Eighth West Street, from noon to 1:30 p.m. Interment will be in the city cemetery.

Mrs. Cannon had been in failing health for some time past. Several months ago she went to California where, at sea level she seemed to improve, so much that she decided to remove to Arizona, where her husband's business interests were. But the change proved injurious, and her condition began to grow worse, she returned to California. The latest change brought no improvement, however, and she failed rapidly until the end.

Born in Salt Lake December 2, 1870, Mrs. Cannon was the daughter of George and Rachel Hamlin. She attended the public schools of this city and later entered the University of Utah, where she was valedictorian of her class the year of her graduation. She then went to the Oswego Normal college in New York state and there won a life certificate as a teacher.

After returning to Utah, Mrs. Cannon went to the B.Y.U. at Provo as head of the teachers training department. Later she and the late Prof. William M. Stewart established what was known as the Model Training school for teachers. This was in the old Nineteenth ward, this city.

She was a woman of high ideals and intellectuality, with a rare gift for teaching, which seemed to be not only intuitive but was also developed by constant study and application. She was also a writer of unusual charm, her talent in this direction having been frequently represented in the Young Woman's Journal and other local publications.

During the recent war her Red Cross work was notable. She was in charge of this work for Pioneer stake, and the dressings, etc., made by the large class in the Newhouse hotel under her supervision were especially commended, and almost nationally known for the scrupulous care and neatness with which they were prepared.

In addition to these various duties, as well as those pertaining to her household, she performed much church work -- in the Sunday School, Relief Society and Y. L. M. I. A. (Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association) and she was for several years treasurer of the Pioneer Stake Relief Society. Upon removing to California, she continued these labors to the extent that her health would permit, being particularly interested in Sunday School.

Besides her husband, she is survived and mourned by seven children: Marba H. (by a former marriage); Mathew H., Victor H., Warren H., Moses H., Aaron H., (twins), and Leah Cannon. Miss Marba Cannon is an instructor in the Box Elder High School, and Mathew is engaged with an electrical development company in Central California, though he is expected to reach this city for the funeral services. The other children were with their mother in California, and returned with the remains and with the father last evening.
