Her infant child died the following day. Mrs. Bair was but 21 years old and was a lovely woman and a devoted wife and mother. Her short life seems to have had more than its share of sorrow, for her oldest child was but a few days old when the young husband and father was called to fight for his country, he and his brother Charles Bair, leaving for American Lake. Soon they were sent overseas to France and during this time Mrs. Bair endured many long months of anxiety. For a long time no word from the husband was received and the message came telling of Charles Bair’s death. Finally the war ended and the little family was united for a few short months of happiness, which has now been shattered by the death of the wife and mother. The bodies were shipped to the home of her parents near Park City, Utah, for burial and were accompanied by her husband and little son.

One of the children told the Evers boy to pick up the hose and smell of it. The youngster playfully picked up the hose and inhaled the amonia gas emitting from it. He became strangled and was hastened to a doctor, given relief and sent home, but he had so deeply inhaled the fumes that his condition became worse and he was hastened to the hospital last Sunday, where he died from the results of the amonia gas about 12 o'clock Sunday night. This little fellow was a special favorite with all who knew him, and although only nine years of age, he possessed a different disposition than most boys of that tender age, and his love of home and parents was uppermost always in his thoughts, and his manly ways won his way into the hearts of all, and his passing is mourned by the entire community.

GANIARD The death of Dan Ganiard, which occurred at the Wyoming General Hospital last Saturday afternoon, was a shock to the whole community. While he had been ill for about two weeks form an attack of grip and rheumatism, his condition would not have been considered serious in an ordinary person, but for a number of years he had suffered from leakage of the heart, and that organ was unable to stand the strain of the illness. On Saturday he has passed a comfortable morning, and been able to eat his dinner, when a sudden turn for the worse occurred and the end came as a terrible shock to his family and friends. The deceased was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and he would have been thirty-six years old had he lived until the 29th of April. He was descended from an old American family and took pride in tracing his ancestry back to Betsy Ross, who made the first American flag, and to John Paulding of Revolutionary fame. His early life was spent in the eastern states and he was married to Miss Grace Beals in New York City, in May 1907. “Dan” was a skilled machinist and became interested in the mechanism of the automobile, when that industry was in its infancy. He came to Rock Springs in Sept. 1911, shortly after the completion of the present home of the Western Auto Transit company, and in a short time became its manager. Under his management and by his thorough knowledge of the business this garage has become known in every part of the United States, and “Dan” himself was well known among the automobile fraternity. In Rock Springs and Sweetwater county he had an immense circle of friends who feel that they have lost a personal friend and that the community has lost a good citizen. He is survived by his wife and three little children, Emily, Robert and Lois, and his mother, Mrs. Emily Ganiard, all of whom were with him when he passed away. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. J.W. McCluen of Los Angeles and Mrs. H.A. Johnston of Tarentum, Penn. His father, M.A. Ganiard, passed away last May.

He had been taken there on the previous Monday from his home, where he had been for some days in bed suffering from a heart affection. On Saturday he was reported as progressing satisfactorily and partook of dinner with apparent enjoyment. Soon after this meal he suddenly collapsed and rapidly fell into unconsciousness and passed away at 1:10 p.m. The funeral was held on Tuesday, from noon until 2 o’clock the remains lay in the Episcopal church under a guard of honor of Free Masons. At that hour the casket, preceded by the Episcopal church choir and the Rev. Morten Joslin was borne to the Masonic Temple, where a large crowd of sympathizers awaited it. On entering the lodge room the choir sang, in slow procession, “Abide With Me.” The “Order for the Burial of the Dead” was read by the Rev. M. Joslin, interspersed at the Scripture lesson with a solo by Miss Joslin, entitled “The Homeland.” At the conclusion of the service in the Temple the Choir sang beautifully “In the Hour of Trial.” The interment took place in the Masonic burial ground in the local cemetery, where his brother Masons said the beautiful service of the order. The floral tributes were many, a special conveyance being necessary to convey them to the place of interment. The great respect in which the deceased was held was fittingly expressed in the address of the Rev. Morten Joslin during the service, from which we give the following excerpts: “Brethren and Friends: “If there was one man in our city who, more than another, would have disapproved of a funeral oration over himself, it was he whose mortal remains lie here before us. He never spoke of his own good qualities while he was with us, and we know he would like them to remain unspoken now that hi is gone from us…With the passing of Daniel Ross Ganiard this city loses not only a worthy man, but one whom it was an honor to have as a citizen. He was one of the aristocracy of this glorious republic, and no truer exemplification of this fact could be found than the fact that he never paraded it. He was the great-great-grandson of Betsy Ross, who used her red petticoat to make the blood-stripes in the first “Old Glory” that waved over this land of the free. And that hand, now stilled in death, which was often begrimed with machine oil, had coursing through its veins the same blood as that which flowed through the hand of the Philadelphia lawyer (James Ross) who appended his signature to that immortal document which made this great country a free and independent nation…We are sorrowful, but we are proud that this master mechanic, with the blood of our democracy’s founders in his veins, dwelt among us, and we now bid him good-bye, until we meet again where ‘there shall be no more sighing nor sorrow, nor any more pain, and where God shall wipe away all tears from all face.’” --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 14 February 25, 1921 MAN DIES SUDDENLY IN SOUTH FRONT STREET ROOMING HOUSE George Katich Found Dead Shortly After Taking Room in Lodging House and Post Mortem Fails to Reveal Cause of Death. Autopsy Performed and Viscera Sent Away for Analysis Last Tuesday night George Katich was found dead in a rooming house on South Front street, under rather unusual circumstances. He had attended the meeting of his mine local and at its conclusion had complained of not feeling well and stated that he was going home. Shortly after he went to the rooming house and asked for a room. He was directed to a room by the proprietress, but went into another room. About 20 minutes later she went to the room to request him to change and found him lying on the bed dead. The police were called and Coroner Sprowell notified. He called a doctor and later removed the body to his undertaking parlors. An examination by physicians failed to reveal the cause of death. Upon request of his friends the viscera was removed from the body and has been sent to Salt Lake City for an analysis to try and determine the cause of death. Upon receipt of the information from Salt Lake City an inquest will be held. The deceased was a Montenegrin, about 35 years old, and has resided in the country for the past twenty years, working in and around the mines here. Funeral services will be held Sunday from his home at No. 4 at 1:30 p.m. and from the North Side Catholic church at 2 p.m., Rev. Fr. Welsh officiating. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 14 February 25, 1921 DIES FROM GAS Elroy Everes, the 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Evers of Green River, died on February 13th, death being the result of inhaling ammonia gas at the Sweetwater brewery.

Napier, were held from the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Knudsen, at 120 Thomas street, West Flat, on Wednesday, at 2 p.m. and interment was made in the Mountain View cemetery. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 14 February 25, 1921 Andrew Bone received a letter this week from Paisley, Scotland, telling of the death of his sister, Mrs. John McBride, who passed away on February 2nd. --- Green River Star, February 25, 1921 HENRY JESSEN MEETS DEATH IN CANADA Word was received here this week that Henry Jessen, third son of Mrs. Mary Jessen of this city, had passed away in Coaldale, Alberta, Canada. No particulars were wired, but as we are writing this article we are informed that a letter has been received from those with whom he resided, which states that Henry had left the house for the purpose of bringing cows from the pasture, and when he did not return when he should, they went in search of him. He was found with his horse standing beside the body, and upon investigation, it was discovered that his neck was broken. The letter also stated that his heart had been troubling him for sometime, and it is presumed that he had suffered an attack, and fell from his horse in such a manner as to break his neck. Henry Jessen was born in Omaha thirty-four years ago, coming to Green River when a boy of eight years, where he resided until he reached manhood with his parents. He has been in Canada the past few years, and about a year ago was here for a visit with his mother. It is expected that the body will arrive tonight, and that the funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30. This sudden passing of her son is a severe blow to the mother, who has the sympathy of all in her hour of sorrow. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 9 March 04, 1921 MURDER AND SUICIDE AT GREEN RIVER A murder and suicide occurred at Green River shortly after en o’clock on Sunday morning, at which time Edgar Lofell shot and instantly killed Frank Rhea, and then turned the gun upon himself with fatal effect. Lofell and Rhea were car repairers on the U.P. railroad and had been friends and roommates for about two years, and no reason can be pointed out for the shooting. In the room was found a quart fruit jar about one-third full of strong “white mule” liquor and it is supposed that this probably had something to do with promoting the rash act. The tragedy was enacted in the Kincaid rooming house at Green River. About 10:30 a shot was heard and almost immediately Lofell appeared at the door and shouted that they should ship Rhea’s body to Ogden, and his body to Cheyenne. He then turned and a second later a shot was heard. Both men were dead when the room was entered. Rhea was shot under the chin the bullet passing out at the back of the neck and base of the brain. The shot that killed Lofell blew almost the entire top of his head off, the bullet entering the right ear and passing upward. The rifle used was a 30-40, one of the highest power made. Coroner Earl Sprowell was notified of the tragedy and he immediately went to Green River and brought the bodies to this city, where they were prepared for shipment. Rhea’s body was shipped to Ogden, where he has a sister, and Lofell’s body was shipped to Cheyenne where his parents are buried. Rhea was about 35 years of age and Lorell 24 years old. The latter is said to have been quite well off, from an estate inherited from his father. Two sisters of Lofell arrived here this week from Missouri and are looking after his affairs in this county. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 9 March 04, 1921 TWO MEXICANS FOUND DEAD IN BUNK HOUSES Two Mexican railroad section men were found dead in their bunk houses during the past week. The first was Simeon Iros, age 19 years, who was found in a bunk house at Green River on Monday. The cause of death was shown to have been poison. Whether the poison was taken accidentally or with suicide intent, is not known. He had been employed on the section, but for a time had been without work. The second death was that of Ascencion Corillo, age 35, who was found dead in the bunk house at Baxter Basin, early on Wednesday morning. Examination disclosed that the cause of death was heart failure. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 9 March 04, 1921 SUDDEN DEATH OF A FORMER RESIDENT A telegram was received by Mrs. A.H. Anderson, on Sunday, announcing the sudden death of her brother, Tom Sutton, which occurred at his home in Los Angeles at noon on that day, from heart failure. Mr. Sutton was eating dinner and was holding his baby daughter on his lap, when he suddenly fell over. His family hurried to his assistance only to find that he was dead. He had been in usually good health and his friends did not know that he had any serious affection of the heart. The shock to them all is very great. The deceased was born in Rock Springs and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Sutton, who were pioneer residents. Mr. Sutton was one of the merchants here in the early days and built the rock store now occupied by the Golden Rule. The family left for California 24 years ago and have since lived in Los Angeles. They are remembered by many of the older residents, who will regret to learn the sad news. Mr. Sutton leaves a wife and three little daughters, and also four sisters, Misses Minnie and Rose Sutton and Mrs. Lloyd Thomas of Los Angeles, and Mrs. A.H. Anderson of this city. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 9 March 04, 1921 PIONEER RESIDENT DIES VERY SUDDENLY The death of Sivert Wiggins, which occurred at the Wyoming General Hospital shortly after eight o’clock on Thursday evening, was a great shock to his family and his any old friends. Mr. Wiggins had been for many years a sufferer from hernia but he had been as well as usual up to Thursday morning when he was suddenly taken ill. A physician was summoned and he was taken to the hospital, where an operation was performed, but he passed away a few hours later. The deceased was born in Norway, 64 years ago last September and he grew to manhood in his native land, coming to the United States when 21 years of age. He located first in Wisconsin, before coming to Rock Springs. After living here for a short time he went to Montana. He returned to Rock Springs in 1884 and has since made his home here. On June 12th, 1888 he was married to Miss Sena Jensen, the wedding taking place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. O’Donnell in this city. He was formerly associated in business with Charles Tufte, another old-time resident, and also with Chris Knudsen. Of late years he has been an employee of the Union Pacific railroad. During his long residence here he has made many friends, who are shocked by his sudden death. He is survived by his wife and six children, two sons, Louis of Browns Park, Colo., and Wm., of this city; and four daughters, Mrs. Hilda Bunten of Green River, and Mrs. Emma Muir, and Misses Hester and Dorothy Wiggins, of this city. The funeral will take place at the home on Thomas street, on Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Morten Joslin. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 9 March 04, 1921 DEATH OF INFANT A little daughter, Eleanor Rebecca, was born to Mrs. Cecil Hill on Sunday, February 27th, but lived only a few hours. The funeral services were held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Firmage, on Monday afternoon, and the little one was laid to rest beside her father, who passed away on Dec. 31st, 1920. Mrs. Hill has the sympathy of the community in her trouble. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 9 March 04, 1921 The death of Louis, the little eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Senechale, of the East Flat, occurred on Friday afternoon, from diphtheria.

Morten Joslin conducting the services. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 15 March 04, 1921 MURDER AN SUICIDE IN GREEN RIVER ROOMING HOUSE SUNDAY “Ship Ray to Ogden, Ship Me to Cheyenne,” Said Edgar Loffell to the Rooming House Clerk After Killing His Roommate, and Then Took His Own Life A murder and suicide occurred at Green River last Sunday morning, February 27, at 10:30 when Edgar Lofell shot and killed Frank Ray, his roommate, and then turned the weapon, a high-powered rifle, on himself and pulled the trigger. From the evidence at the coroner’s inquest held by Coroner Earl Sprowell on Sunday afternoon, it appears that the men were drinking “moonshine,” a quantity of which was found in their room, and it is thought possible that the tragedy may have been the result of a suicide pact as no quarreling was heard before the shooting. According to the testimony of the clerk at the rooming house of Barney Kincaid, where the affair occurred, a shot was heard and then Loffell came into the hall with a rifle in his hands and said to the clerk: “Ship Ray to Ogden and me to Cheyenne.” He then went back to his room and shot himself. The men were the best of friends and had roomed together for some time and, so far as is known, never had any trouble. They had been employed on the repair track at Green River as car repairers. Loffell was 24 years of age and Ray about 30. Both men were well supplied with money. The bodies were brought to the Sprowell undertaking parlors at this place and prepared for burial. The body of Loffell was shipped to Cheyenne where he has relatives, and that of Ray to Ogden, Utah. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 15 March 04, 1921 DEATH OF A PIONEER OF ROCK SPRINGS Still another link in the chain which connects us with the past history of Rock Springs was broken by the death of Sivert Wiggins, which occurred at the hospital on Friday morning. Mr. Wiggins had been ailing for some time, but on Thursday he dressed himself ready to go to work, when he suddenly collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. He was operated on at once for hernia, but failed to recover. Mr. Wiggins was born in Norway and came to this country when 21 years of age. He located in Wisconsin, where he carried on his trade of painter and paperhanger, and ultimately came west. He came to Rock Springs forty years ago and was married here. In Rock Springs he obtained a position on the railroad and has resided here ever since. He was a man of quiet, steady habits and was greatly respected by a wide circle of friends who sympathize with the relatives in their great loss. He is survived by his wife, two sons, Louis and William, and four daughters, Mrs. Emma Muir, Mrs. Matt Bunten Jr., and Esther and Dorothy. All of the family reside in this city. The body was taken to the Rogan undertaking parlors and the funeral will take place from the family home on West Flat on Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 15 March 04, 1921 FOUND DEAD IN BUNKHOUSE On Thursday Coroner Earl Sprowell was called to Baxter to hold an inquest over the body of Ascencion Carillo, a Mexican, who was found dead in bed in a bunk house. No inquest was held, however, as the doctor pronounced the cause of death as heart trouble. Carillo worked on the section at Baxter in January and was laid off. He spent several week sin Rock Springs and only returned to Baxter on Wednesday. He seemed all right when he retired that night, but was found dead, as stated above, on Thursday morning. The body was brought to Rock Springs and the funeral will be held from the Ace undertaking parlors. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 15 March 04, 1921 MEXICAN DIES FROM POISONING Simeon Rios, a Mexican, 19 years of age, died at Green River last Monday night from what was thought to be poisoning. According to the story of the three men who were with him they had little to eat for three days and, on Monday, had some potatoes and salt pork. All four were taken sick and a doctor was called. After administering to them the doctor went to another room to see Rios and found him dead. The other three recovered. Funeral services were held Wednesday from Ace’s parlors. The man was born in Mexico and worked on the section at Green River, where a brother also lives. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 15 March 04, 1921 DEATH Louie, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Seneshale, died this evening at 5 o’clock at the family home. The boy had been suffering with diphtheria. The body was brought to the Rogan undertaking parlors and the funeral will be held privately tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 15 March 04, 1921 CHINAMAN DIES Wednesday night Lung Look died at his home at House No. 7, Chinatown, from a complication of trouble from which he had been ailing for some time. The deceased was 57 years of age and was born in China. He has worked in the U.P. mines here for several years. Funeral services will be held from Ace’s parlors tomorrow and interment made in the Chinese cemetery. --- Green River Star, March 4, 1921 MURDER AND SUICIDE LAST SUNDAY MORNING About 8:30 last Sunday morning our little city was horrified to learn that a tragedy had been enacted, wherein two young men of the community had lost their lives, the circumstances surrounding cause for same will never be learned. Edgar Laffell and Frank Ray, men who for the past few years have been bosom friends, returned to their room in the Barney Kincaid home after their night’s work, apparently as friendly and happy as usual. They had been in their room only a short while when a shot was heard, followed by Lafell calling to Mr. Kencaid. When Kincaid reached the foot of the stairs, Lafell called to him to send Frank’s body to Ogden and his to Cheyenne, which request was followed by him blowing out his brains. When the room was reached, Ray was found lying on his back breathing his last, while Lafell died instantly. No quarrel had taken place between them, so far as known, and it is a very deep mystery who so good friends as they had been, should so end their lives. There are many theories advanced, the most reasonable being that they were either cleaning, or handling a rifle, when the same went off killing Ray, whereupon, Lafell ended his own life following the shock of the accident. Ray’s body was sent to Ogden for burial while Laffell’s was sent to Cheyenne. Both men were well known here and their tragic death is mourned by many. --- Green River Star, March 4, 1921 FUNERAL OF HENRY JESSEN HELD SUNDAY The remains of Henry Jessen arrived last Saturday night from Canada, and the funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Congregational church, Rev. G. M. Peacock preaching the service, while beautiful hymns were rendered by a special choir. The funeral cortege was very long, which plainly sowed the sorrow manifested at the loss of this young man. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in Riverview Cemetery. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 10 March 11, 1921 FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT ON MONDAY MORNING A fatal automobile accident occurred shortly before one o’clock on Monday morning, when August Bacca was instantly killed and John Demette received injuries from which he died within an hour. Two other men were slightly injured, but they are now recovering at their homes. The car, occupied by John Demette, George and Camallo Giovanini, with August Bacca as driver, was returning from Sweetwater, where a celebration had been in progress. When they reached the main road leading to Rock Springs the car was “speeded up”. When it reached the bridge just west of Blairtown, the car swerved to the left and struck the heavy bridge brace. The speed was so great that the car swung around to the north of the bridge, breading the heavy supporting timbers, and then dropped fourteen feet to the bottom of the stream. Bacca and Demette were in the front seat and they were crushed under the car. George and Camallo Giovanini were in the rear seat and they escaped with comparatively slight injuries. One of the Giovanini’s managed to release himself from the wreck and he walked into Rock Springs and notified the night police. Investigation was made at once, and it was found that Bacca was dead, and Demette just alive. The latter was taken to the hospital where he did within an hour. August Bacca has been a resident of Rock Springs for a number of years, and leaves two brothers in this city, and an older brother, Louis Bacca, who lives in San Francisco. He was 28 years of age and unmarried. John Demette came here seven or eight months ago from Austria, after serving for five years in the army. He was 32 years of age and unmarried. The bodies have been held awaiting the arrival of Louis Bacca from San Francisco and a double funeral will be held at the South Side Catholic church on Sunday afternoon. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 10 March 11, 1921 HENRY MAGAGNA DIES VERY SUDDENLY The sympathy of the community goes out to Mrs. Louis Magagna in the loss of her son Henry, whose death occurred at eight o’clock on Thursday evening, from diphtheria. He had been ill but a short time and very few people knew that he was sick until the word came that he was dead. Henry was a bright, handsome lad of seventeen years and was born and reared in Rock Springs where he had a host of friends. His loss was especially hard for his mother, who experienced such a severe blow in the loss of his father, whose tragic death occurred at Lava Hot Springs about four years ago. The funeral services will be held on Sunday at ten o’clock, but will be private, owing to the nature of the disease. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 10 March 11, 1921 The death of Mrs. Mary Leino occurred at the hospital on Thursday morning after an illness of six weeks’ duration. Mrs. Leino was first the victim of typhoid, which depleted her strength and when pneumonia set in she was unable to combat the disease. She was 31 years of age and leaves a husband and a little daughter six years of age. Her funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 10 March 11, 1921 Little Tony, the six year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Ilich, died at his home on Monday morning, a victim of diphtheria. He will be sadly missed by his relatives and friends, for he was a favorite with all. The entire community extends their sympathy to the bereaved parents. The funeral was held from the home on Tuesday morning. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 16 March 11, 1921 AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT TAKES TOLL OF TWO LIVES AND TWO INJURED Last Sunday night, shortly before 12 o’clock, an accident occurred on the Lincoln highway at the bridge just west of town, in which two men, August Bacca and John Damatti, lost their lives and two otheres, Joe and Camillo Giovanini, were injured. A party of four cars had been to Sweetwater visiting and the four men named above were returning in a Dodge car when the accident occurred. According to the story of the men who escaped death the lights on the car were out and the driver, August Bacca drove to the edge of the road and ran off the embankment, missing the bridge entirely. The car struck the cross beams outside of the guard, passing over the first, demolishing the second and breaking the third—the center one—and landed upside down in the creek. The men on the outside escaped with injuries while Mr. Bacca, at the wheel, and Mr. Dametti, on the right side in the rear seat, were not so fortunate. Joe Giovanini was able to come to town for assistance, and when help arrived Bacca and Dametti were removed from under the car. Mr. Bacca was dead, probably instantly killed, as his head was crushed by the steering wheel. Mr. Dametti was still alive although fatally injured. Camelo Giovanini was found by the side of the car. The three injured men were taken to the hospital where Dametti died about 2 o’clock. Joe and Camelo Giovianini were able to leave the hospital on Tuesday and are rapidly recovering from their injuries. The car was completely wrecked and it is a miracle how the other two men escaped with their lives. August Bacca was born in Tyrol, Austria, and was 28 years of age. He has been a resident of Rock Springs for the past seven or eight years, having been owner of the Penegal saloon the greater part of that time. He is survived by three brothers, Herman and Emil, of this place, and Louis of Los Angeles, California; one sister, Candida of Superior. John Dametti was born in Tyrol, Austria, coming to this country only a short time ago. He served in the Austrian army during the five years of the war and was never wounded. Both men were members of the Frances Joseph society and Dametti also belonged to the La Marmora society, both of which will participate in the funeral services. A double funeral will be held Sunday afternoon, at 2 p.m. from the South Side Catholic church, Rev. Fr. Welsh conducted the services. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 16 March 11, 1921 ANOTHER DEATH FROM DIPHTHERIA Henry Magagna died at the family home, 216 D street, Thursday night, from an attack of diphtheria.

Another brother will arrive today from North Platte, Neb. to be present at the funeral services, which will be held on Sunday. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 11 March 18, 1921 DAVIS FAMILY SUFFERS MANY AFFLICTIONS The sympathies of the people of the community have been aroused this week by the sad case of Mrs. Sam Davis and children, of Gunn, all of whom have been inmates of the county contagion hospital. Mr. Davis left his wife and seven children in their home at Gunn, while he went to Oklahoma to work on a farm during the slack season in the mines. Last week the children were stricken with scarlet fever, which caused the death of Ruth, a little 2½ year old daughter on Sunday. Mrs. Davis and the other children were brought to Rock Springs, where the disease caused the death of Martin, a 1½ year old son, on Tuesday. On Wednesday the mother was taken to the Wyoming General Hospital, where she gave birth to a ten pound baby boy. The latest reports were that all are now getting on as well as possible. The father was communicated with in Oklahoma, but he is down with rheumatism in a sanitarium in that state. The family are in straightened circumstances and have had a series of troubles which would seem to make the afflictions of Job look like mere side issues. Everything necessary is now being done for their relief and it is hoped that they may soon have brighter days. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 11 March 18, 1921 DEATH RECORD The death of Mrs. John Cameron, of Kemmerer, occurred at the Wyoming General Hospital on Monday morning, after a lingering illness.

She also leaves many friends both in Kemmerer and Rock Springs. Mr. and Mrs. Tony Ramsay have the sympathy of their friends in the loss of their little six-year-old daughter, Frances, whose death occurred on Wednesday from scarlet fever. Owing to the nature of the disease, a private funeral was held form the home at Gunn, on Thursday afternoon at two o’clock.

Martin, was born on a farm one mile south of old National road, near Putnamville, Putnam county, Indiana, August 6, 1876. She was the daughter of William Whitney McClure and Nancy Ellen Perry McClure. She spent her childhood days upon the farm and received her elementary education at the neighboring district school. Later she attended the Indiana State Normal school at Terre Haute, Indiana, and taught school one year. On May 12, 1901, she was united in marriage to Rev. Martin, sharing the joys and tolls of the ministerial life with him. To this union were born six children: Paul McClure, age 18 years, Ellen Elizabeth, age 16 years; Charles Frederick, age 14; Cora Lillian, age 13; Mary Beatrice, age 9 years, and John William, age 6. After seven years’ residence in Indiana, the family came to Utah, where Rev. Martin was engaged in mission work for two years and later was superintendent of schools for five years. In 1915, she, with the family, moved to Rawlins, Wyo., where Rev. Martin was superintendent of city schools for several years. Scarcely two months ago she came to Rock Springs. Her death, at 7:20 Thursday evening, April 28th, was very sudden, following an internal hemorrhage which occurred about the middle of the afternoon. She joined the Methodist Episcopal church when a girl of 13 years and was always of the same faith. She accepted Christ as her Savior when a girl and was ever a faithful and devoted follower of Him, even until death. Her life was devoted to her family of which she though so much, for she was a home-loving woman, giving nearly all of her time to the culture and admonition of her children and helping and encouraging her husband in his work. Thus she exemplified her belief in teaching Christian principles in the home for she daily applied in true motherly fashion her Christian ideals to the home life. Because of her sincerity, her loving kindness, her attention to the sick and her Christian spirit, she had a company of true friends wherever she lived. And because of her loving devotion and endeavor to do so much for others, she did more than she was able. Her life was gentle and the elements so mixed in her that all the world might stand up and say: “This was a woman.” Besides the members of the immediate family here, she leaves to mourn a sister living in Olympia, Wash., and two brothers and two sisters living near Putnamsville, Indiana. Also other relatives and a large company of friends who knew her only to love and respect her. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church at 2 o’clock last Sunday afternoon, Dr. Wm. T. Dumm, superintendent of the Cheyenne District M.E. church, officiating, assisted by the pastors of the local churches. Miss Langheldt and Miss Boone and Mr. Stenhouse and Mr. Stroud sang several comforting selections. The remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Mountain View cemetery. The Rocket and a host of friends extend their deepest sympathy to Rev. Martin and family and relatives in this their hour of bereavement. --- Green River Star, May 6, 1921 INFANT SON TENDERLY LAID TO REST SUNDAY AFTERNOON The funeral of Charles Edward, the fourteen months old son of Mr. and Mrs. C.

Mr. Petersen was born in Germany thirty-six years ago, coming to America when seven years of age, sixteen years of his life he has spent as a resident of Wyoming, and was a resident for a number of years of Green River, before going to his ranch near Robinson.

About 3 years afterward he followed the maxim, “Go West, Young Man,” and he landed in Rock Springs, where he has resided ever since. Being brought up as a miner he naturally drifted into mining here and worked in them until old age compelled him to quit. He had many friends in the city, who will miss his cheery, “Good morning,” as the old man crippled up the street to one staunch friends, Jack Noble. Jack gave the old man his cabin to live in, saw that he had plenty to eat. On the steps of Jack’s shop he could be seen every day nodding a pleasant greeting to all who passed. Four days ago he was in his usual health, but having missed him for two days, Jack sent a friend to make investigation and this friend found the old man dead. John Richards is one of the many who has built up our great west and made our own city what it is. The best requiem we can write is, his end was peace.

He was severely injured at the sinking of the steamer, "Governor," but was rescued by the steamer, Watch-set." From this injury he never fully recovered. Mr. Devlin, while extremely reticent about his own part in the civil war battles, gave many interesting talks and much valuable information in regard to the fighting at that time. He was married to Miss Mary Tiernan at Bendsalem, Pa., on April 8th, 1875. Five children were born of this marriage, only one of whom, Mrs. Walter Muir, of this city, survives. Mr. Devlin came to Wyoming in January, 1880, and settled at Carbon where he was employed by the U. S. Coal company.

He was Dean of the Cathedral at Laramie during the absence of Dean Thornberry during the world war, and succeeded the late Dr. Schepp as rector of the Church of the Holy Communion at Rock Springs. He also had charge of the churches at Cody and Basin, Wyoming, and Colorado Springs and Berthoud, Colorado. Although his time in Rock Springs has been all too short, he made an impression upon the city which will never be forgotten. Not only was he highly educated, but he was a born gentleman and made friends with everyone who had the privilege of meeting him. Tireless in the service of the Master whom he so faithfully served, he was ever ready to go where duty called and give help and comfort to the afflicted. He was a man of broad sympathy and was always ready to give help and comfort to anyone in need. Many in this city have reason to bless his memory. And, although we would fain have kept him with us, we take comfort from the knowledge that he has gone to reap the great reward “well done, good and faithful.” The sincere sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved family in their great loss. We might all truthfully say, “When shall we see his like again.” Funeral services will be held at the Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 and the remains will be shipped to Laramie the same evening for interment. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 45 October 07, 1921 INFANT DIES Matthew Luzich, the 8-months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Lazich, died on Saturday, October 1st.

Bunning died at her home on Went Flat on Tuesday morning, Nov. 22nd, after a long illness. Mrs. Bunning was taken sick about a year ago and at that time made a trip to California in the hope that the change would benefit her health. She returned here and in a short time was taken to Omaha for treatment. Gloom was brought to the family by the decision of the surgeon that nothing could be done for her and about two months ago she was brought back here to spend her remaining days with her family, and among the friends and scenes she loved no well. For weeks past her death had been expected daily and only her wonderful fortitude and courage kept the spark of life burning. Mary Ann Bunning was born in Hamel, Jutland, Denmark, on November 14, 1863. She attended the schools of that place during childhood and after school days were over was employed in dairy and creamery business. In 1885 she was united in marriage to P. C. Bunnibg and the newly married couple came to America the following year. They spent a short time in Omaha, Neb., and Rawlins, Wyo., coming to Rock Springs in the fall of the same year, where they have resided ever since, making one visit back to the old country. Besides her husband she is survived by five children, one son John and four daughters, Mrs. Myrtle Grass, Carrie, Dorothy and Oretha, all of this city. Three children, Nels, Roy and Lizzie, preceded her to the Great Beyond. Other near relatives are Peter Hougard of this city, a brother; Mrs. Pauline Nelson of Battle Mountain Nevada, and Mrs. Nels Moller, of Aarhus, Denmark, sister; and four grandchildren. Mrs. Bunning was one of the estimable women of the community and her kindness and sympathy and the many deeds of help and assistance which she performed won her a host of friends in the community who sorrow with the bereaved family and extend their sympathy. Mrs. Bunning was active in societies, being a member of the Lady Maccabees, Royal Neighbors and the Danish Sisterhood, all of whom participated in the funeral services. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from the Episcopal church at 2:30 the burial service being read by Archdeacon Dray of the church and the body laid in its final resting place.
