O n Lehi's eighty-sixth hirthday Nov. 15, 1940 an article appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune entitled "Scores Honor Pioneer of Southern Utah," the opening paragraph stated that: Lehi W. Jones Looks Back on Long and Active Career -Cedar City - Lehi W. Jones, one of southern Utah's most widely known civic and religious leaders, was honored by scores of relatives and friends Friday on his eightly-sixth birthday anniversary. He was the guest of eight sons and daughters and numerous ~randrhildren a l~irthday at party." Lehi's brother, Kurnen, wrote the following trihute to Lehi in his journal : LOOKING BACKWARD, ALSO FORWARD Had I my life to live again, when this good life is through, retaining all the best of this and adding to the new, I'd start by heing kinder to our good mother left alone With six small kiddies, under eight, and all the work of home; Left almost penniless too; with hroken health and nerve, The only asset left her was the iron will to serve. Through this short, cruel story there is history sublime Reaching up towards heaven to the realms of the divine. She drew much needed courage from the servants of the Lord, In the material help and counsel, from Fathen of Cedar Ward, Who always gave a kindly hand, a friendly word and smile. Ye puhlic servants keep this up, 'twill help us out the while. There is one more family item that need he noted too, T o round thestory out and make it full and true, I t is of a child turned man almost overnight, Turned into a princely man and made a nohle fight. 'Twas our brother Lehi made that character somersault, Turned irom childhood to manhood without one serious fault. Though eighty-three he still plods on, in a slightly lower gear. With wise and friendly counsel his life work had made clear. I wish all men had brothers, just like this pal of mine, 'Twould make this a wiser world, much better and sublime.
