Jones, a member of the Board of Directors of Southern Utah Power Co., there has been lost to Cedar City and Southern Utah one of its foremost citizens, a man of keen intellect, a builder of constructive force, and a leader who has devoted his life to the welfare of his community and state and through his foresight, wise counsel and deep interest he pioneered the electrical industry in this area and has continuously contrihuted to its growth and progress, we as his friends and fellow directors desire to permanently record the affectionate regard in which we will ever hold his memory and its appreciation for his noble character and the eminent service he has rendered."" At this same meeting. Lehi's son, Lehi M. Jones, was appointed to the Board to fill the vacancy left by his father."
