time until Tuesday morning. DR.
Stevens was called and a consultation
of physicians was held. Yesterday,
Wednesday, the patient rallied some
toward noon but in the afternoon a
high fever came up and it was evident
that the end was near.
A number of friends called and rem

ing born in Wales in 1881. He came

was married in Philadelphia about a
year after coming to this country. Five
children were born of this union of
forty-three years in married life; three

over nine years and has been engaged
in fire insurance and managed salty
vault and collection agency and was
also an active worker and secretary of
the board Of trade, taking a lively in
terest i'm all these matters.
He was also a prominent member in
church work and for nearly nine years
has been warden of St. Matthew's par
ish of Laramie and superintendent of
