The recent death of Miss LYDIA r.
Wheeler of the Whittier school was at
tended with circumstances peculiarly
sad. Away from home and relatives
and battling with a disease that for
many years had preyed upon her vi
tality, she was at last compelled to bow
to deaths stern behests. Miss Wheeler
was of a refined and delicate nature,
and had a personality that attracted to
her a large circle of friends who are
profoundly sorrowful because of her
death. The sympathy of the teaching
fraternity of Salt Lake City is extend
ed to the relatives of this noble, true
hearted and cultured woman.
