ANGUS M'LEOD, JR

The sad news reached here last Mon
day morning of the death of Angus Nc
Leod, Jr., at Los Angeles, CAL, the pre-
vious day, Sunday, June 2l. The end
came on that evening at $50, and was
not unexpected by his brothers Charlie,
Mason and Mel, who were with Angus
at the time.
Angus Mcleod, Jr., or "Ang" as he
was fainiliarly called, was one of the
most popular young men in the com
munity. None knew him but to like
him, and his friends were numerous and
devoted. He was born in Aurora, Es-
meralda county, January 28, 1888, and
when an infant in arms came to Mason
Valley to reside, his parents having taken
up one of the finest ranches in this Sec
ton as far back as 1862 Ang grew from
infancy to manhood IN this community,
and in his boyhood days was an athlete
of no mean ability. He took part in ali
outdoor sports and was a general favor
lite with the people of the valley. After
obtaining a common school education
here he entered the State University at
Reno in 1908, but did not remain there
long, because it was there that he re-
ceived an injury that eventually brought
about his death. In football game be-
tween the University team and The Chico,
Cal, team, played i'll Chico i'll the early
part of 1904, Ang received serious in
juries in the groin and shoulder and was
compelled to stay in the University hos
pital for some two months. When some
what better he came home and stayed at
the ranch. Last November Ang again
received a serious injury by having a
fractions horse fall on him and pin him
down on pile of old machinery. He
then came to Yerington and entered the
hospital, where he was twice opera.ed on
for tumor The operations did not bring
relief so, on the 18th of April he was
taken to Los Angeles, where another
operation was performed, which demon.
strated that he was suffering from acute
sarcona, for which there is very little
chance of cure He was gritty to the
very last, declaring to his brothers, who
were with him, that he would yet re-
cover and come home with them.
On Wednesday the body arrived at the
old home from Los Angeles by way Of
Goldfeld, and Thursday the remains
were brought to Leavitt hall in Yering-
ton by the Odd Fellows, Ang being
member of the local lodge of the Order al
this place. Ang was, in life, also mem
Der OF the T. H. P. o. of the University
of Nevada and had his life insured in the
New York Life in favor of his mother
for $500. To mourn his loss Ang leave:
father and mother, who were among
the early settlers of this valley, brother:
Chas. A., Henry S., Mel, Mason +.
Will and Dan R.. and sister, Mrs. A
Rosaschi, besides legion of friends.
In his taking away the family loses I
fond and dutiful son, the community a
large a young man of strict integrity
honest, upright and worthy of the high
est confidence, while his friends lose I
comrade who never considered it any
thing but pleasure to do friendly act
None knew Ang but to love him ant
respect him, and his sorrowing parent
and relatives have the sympathy of th
entire community in their affection
May the sands of the hillside rest light.
DER you, friend Ang.
The interment took place yesterda
afternoon under the direction of tn
Odd Fellows and the remains were fol
, lowed to the grave by an unusually lon
: procession of carriages filled with sor
rowing friends.
