The church records show that Presi-

four children, of whom twenty seven
survive him.
The five wives still living have homes
at what is known as Cannon's Farm, in
the southwestern part of Salt Lake on
the Jordan river. This place has been
beautifully fitted up, and upon it Pres
ident Cannon lavished much care, work
and money Each wife has her own
home and keeps UP her own family es-
adjustment. 1t has been the custom
however, for years past for all the fam
lies to eat together at the main meal
of the day. For this purpose a fine
large dining room was fitted up in
President CannOn's own home Here
ne had his own individual table in the
center of the room and the different
famlly groups were arranged at other
tables around the room, each grOuD
having its own table. The other meals
of the day the families enjoyed at their
respective homes. The expenses of the
different families have been paid out
OF the treasury of the Cannon associa-
ton, which was organized to look after
business matters of this kind.

Bronchitis and Heart Trouble the Cause
of Death.
of Death.

The immediate cause of President
Cannon's death was bronchitis, com
plicated with dilatation of the heart
according to General Cannon. who
wired home to that effect Yesterday
noon experimenting his dispatch with
the statement that President Cannon
passed peacefully from sleep into death.
President Cannon has not been in
robust health for several years. owing
TO his advanced age. From day to day
MS friends observed a growing weak
ness IN his once rugged constitution
The beginning of the end came last
January, when he returned from the
Hawaiian islands, after attending the
jubilee OF the Mormon mission there
The day following his return he de-
IlVered an address in the Assembly hall
before the Stock Growers convention
and was apparently in usual health
But any physical exertiOn caused him
inconvenience. 1t was said that he
could walk but short distances with
out losing his breath. The family at
tributed it to a weakness of the heart
and the high altitude. They urged him
then to return to the sea level until
the cold weather was over, but he
Steadfastly refused. His optimistic ma
ture prompted him to treat his trouble
as one of slight consequence.
About six weeks ago President Can
non contracted a cold and symptoms
of pneumonia followed. 1t was pro-
nounced a form of la grippe at the
time, but later developments showed it
to be of a more serious character The
president consented to return TO the
coast. and reached Del Monte in a
