PIONEER MINISTER
OF UTAH IS DEAD
The Rev. DR.. McNiece Passes
Away After Illness of
Several Months.

The Rev. DR.. Robert Gibson McNieee,
for thirtyslX years a resident of Salt
Lake and prominent i'll religious and
educational work in Utah, died yester-
day afternoon at his home at 1l36
Blaine avenue.
The Rev. DR.. McNiece had been in
failing health for moro than two years,
but the direct cause Of his death was
acute bronchitis
Though prominent In almost every
movement that had for its object the
betterment Of conditions throughout the
state, DR.. McNiece was probably best
known for his work in establishing
Westminster college here. Few clergy
men Of any denomination had more
friends among men Of every creed and
of no creed than had DR.. McNiece. His
death will be widely mourned.
The work of DR.. McNiece in Utah at
tracted wide attention throughout the
United States. His success in the face
of obstacles that frequently seemed in
surmountable won for him the praise OF
leading men and women throughout the
country, especially Of those prominent
in the Presbyterian church, Of which
DR.. McNiece has so long been d pastor.
Began Life on Farm.
DR.. McNiece was born January 10,
1859, on farm near Topnam, Vt. AS
n small boy he worked on farm and
studied nights. At l6 lie went to Ohio
where he taught school, and by work
ing on farm added a little to the mod
est salary he received as an educator.
He also attended school in Ohio.
When he was 20 years old he re-
turned to Vermont and after short
time at his old home went to Newberry
Conn.,, where he was graduated from the
Newberry academy. Afterward he at
tended Dartmouth college at Hanover,
n. H., receiving his BACH helor's degree
in 1867 and his masters degree in
1869.
For three years he was principal of
the high school at Fort Wayne, Ind.
Then he and former Congressman Alex
ander of New York bought the Fort
Wayne Gazette. Later Mr.. McNiece
bought out Mr.. Ale1ander's interest.
In 1874 Mr.. McNiece decided to act
on the impulse he had long felt to enter
the ministry, He went to the Prince
ton Theological seminary, and in 1877
was graduated and ordained Presby-
terlan clergyman. He declined a call
to the Memorial Presbyterian church of
Philadelphia and came to Salt Lake as
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
then located at Second South and Sec
ond East streets,

any physical part, but contenting her
