Elder Joseph Bitner Wirthlin


Elder Joseph Bitner Wirthlin passed away on Monday night of causes incident to age. How we will miss this wonderful servant of the Lord.

I believe it was Elder Nelson said today in the funeral services that as Elder Wirthlin was set apart to the apostleship he was promised that his humility would endear him to the members of the Church. We have seen that prophesy fulfilled as the entire Church mourns the passing of this quiet, remarkable man. We are all better people for knowing him and thank him for his great service these many years.
