 President George Q. Cannon, of the Mormon church, died at Monterey, California on the morning of April 15. While one wife and seven children have preceded him in the journey from which no traveller e'er returns, he leaves goodly number of relatives to mourn his death.

The youngest of these wives and the one he selected to live with after the manifesto of the church against poly gamy is daughter of the late Brig ham Young, former head of the church.
