Wayne county's Treasurer and a
Utah Pioneer.

Richfeld, April 14.-There reached
here today news of the death. on April
Ii, of Thomas s. Jeffrey, treasurer of
Wayne county, residing at Loa. He
was pioneer Of Utah, one of the first
settlers of Wayne county, and a con-

well known over all this section of the
state. For a number of years previous

Jeffrey, who was a Democrat, was
postmaster of Loa, and ever since it's
organization Wayne county has had no
other treasurer.
Thomas 4. Jeffrey was born in Eng
land and spent good part of his boy
hood in Scotland. In an early day he
enigrated to Utah, having become
converted to the Mormon faith in the
old country and made his home in
Salt Lake City, later moving to farm
near St. George. Thence he went to
Loa, and remained there, aiding ma
terially in the upbuilding Of that town
and the development of the surround
ing country.

mourn the loss of the departed pio-
neer. Three married daughters live in
Washington county, and of his three
adult sons, Alfred and Walter reside
at Loa, and Edgar is absent on a for
eign mission for the Latter-day Saints
church.
For the last ten months the deceased
was afflicted with a kidney ailment
that finally proved fatal For the last
two months his life was sustained al
most wholly by stimul5ntS. All this
time, however, he so ordered his af-
fairs as to leave in perfect condition
all his public and private business. His
funeral occurred yesterday afternoon
