PIONEER; DIES AFTER

Failing to revive from a twilight
sleep administered for the extrac-
ton of teeth. Oscar X. Anderson,
n of the oldest pioneers in this

his arrival. He slept five hours
under the twilight Sleep before
he died.

formed perhaps the largest funeral
that has eve been seen in Powell.
Interment was made in Crown Hill
