The entire community are glad
to welcome Thomas Naylor home
again, after an absence of about
ten months. in the hospital at Salt
Lake City, but it is sad, indeed, TO
see him return with the absence of
his leg. H. has certainly been a
ten months of trial for Mr.. Naylor
and his brave little wife, who has
had much sickness and sorrow to
bear. Mr.. Naylor has been clean
ing and fixing up his barber shop,
and has gone right to work again.
1t is hoped that better times are
ahead for them.

very creditable manner. Another

A sad death occurred at SAe
home of John A. McClelland on
Monday evening about five o'clock,
when bis wife died of strangulation.
Mrs. McClelland had her tonsils re-
moved last spring while in Utah,
and it seems that her throat had
never entirely recovered from the
operation, and for the last few
weeks she has suffered consider
able with her throat, though she
has not been bedfast, and most
every day she has been out in the
sunshine. Her husband and moth
err were at her side when death
came and gave her every care pos
sible. A very sad feature is, that
two email children are left mother

M. Allen and Hannah Batty, and

August 81, 1881. She removed to
Arizona with her parents in 1898.
