Scarcely anything that has ever happened
in Park City has cast such gloom over it
as did the death of Mrs. Caroline Snyder
Mrs. Snyder had been complaining for some
time and week ago took to her bed. She
was not considered dangerously i'll, but all
the time seemed to think she would not re-
cover. Tuesday evening she became worse
and the family perceived that she was grad
ually sinking. About midnight she became
unconscious and.quietly and peacefully as
babe nestles to sleep on its mothers breast
she passed away, a fitting end to the life of
iGkLhg mother, kind neighbor, benevo-
lent and whole-souled woman. There are
few In any community who hold the love
AID respect of the people as Mrs. Snyder
did that Of the people Of Park City. In
trouble, sickness and sorrow she ever held
herself ready to assist the afflicted and dis
tressed. The community in general grieve
with the family over their loss. The funeral
took place Friday from her residence in
Snyderville, and was largely attended by
friends from Park City and Salt Lake.

Anchor this week with supplies for the
boring machine, hence it has been unable

coming week.

been something unparalleled at this time
of the year. At the mines around the Park

head of Big Cottonwood canon Friday,
where he has been at work on some claims

there has been nothing like it for ten
years, and then only at the close of winter
