Deseret News, March 1, 1871

Obituary - Bro. John H. Bleazard, late of Salt Lake City, deceased, was born in Newton, Yorkshire, England, February 26th, 1803, and died in this city January 13th, 1871. Bro. Bleazard was baptized into the church in Preston, Lancashire, in the year of our Lord 1836. He was ordained an Elder in the Church at Manchester, on the 7th of July, 1840, under the hands of Elder Parley P. Pratt, and emigrated to America during the same year. He ever proved himself a faithful and tried friend to the martyred Prophet. No sacrifice or exertions were wanting on his part to aid the cause of Zion in the days of the Prophet Joseph, and his integrity knew no bounds, and though not among the first to come to Utah, he voluntarily gave his outfit to others to aid them across the plains; and so soon as he could procure another outfit, he came to Salt Lake City with his family, where he underwent many trials and exhibited some peculiar traits of character; but admidst all his trials and vexations, his integrity to the cause did not in the least abate; and through persevering industry and strict economy, he has left his family in comfortable circumstances. He died in peace and fully in the faith of the Gospel of Christ, and has gone to receive the reward of his labors. Peace to his ashes.
