Typhoid Fever Claims Local Business Man at Rock Springs Hospital
Following an illness of ten days with typhoid fever, Alvin Murdock Hanks passed away at the Wyoming General Hospital in Rock Springs last Tuesday evening about 9:30 o'clock.
Alvin Murdock Hanks was born on January 29, 1891, at Charleston, Utah, and, when a boy, moved with his parents to Burnt Fork, Wyoming, where he spent the greater part of his life. He recently came to Green River and purchased the Palace Billiard Hall, which business he conducted at the time of his death. He served in the late World War, and since returning has been associated with a brother in the ranch business near Burnt Fork, before coming to this city.
The deceased leaves, beside a host of friends, a wife, a seven-year-old daughter; five brothers—William, Cory, Fred, Jay and Reid; three sisters, Mrs. Hattie Merchant of Burley, Idaho, Mrs. Etta Foulks of Pleasant Grove, Utah, and Mrs. Eunice Culymore of Washington, D. C., who have the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow.
The body will be brought from Rock Springs to the Green River Mercantile Co. Mortuary today, where friends may view the remains until 9:30 Saturday morning.
Funeral services will be conducted at the local Episcopal church at 10 a.m. Saturday morning, by the Rev. C. L. Callahan, following which the remains will be taken to Burnt Fork for interment. L. L. Wildermuth, of Rock Springs, will have charge of the funeral arrangements.
