Special Correspondence.
--Kanosh Millard Co., Feb. 19,--Mrs. Mary M. Anderson of this place died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Woodard, in Elsinore, Sevier county. She was the wife of the late Hakan Anderson, with whom she embraced the gospel in the year 1856 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and emigrated to Utah in the year 1862, coming direct to Fillmore. they afterwards removed to Deseret, and shared in the early struggles of the pioneer settlers in that district. And here the subject of this notice, with a little family upon her hands, filled the measure of her creation, and proved in truth a "helpmeet to man," for her husband was sick and unable to work. She made the ditches to carry the water, which she hoped would provide her loved ones with bread, but the dam went out and all was lost. then they removed to Meadow, and later took up land which has developed into the beautiful homestead of today.
--Mrs. Anderson has left eight living children, four sons and four daughters, only two of whom were able through absence and sickness to accompany the remains in the long cold journey by vehicle from Elsinore to their last depository in the private graveyard at Andersonville, near Meadow, by the side of her husband. The funeral services were conducted by Bishop Neil Stewart of Meadow. The speakers were the venerable Bishop Hiram Bennett, Bishop C. F. Christianson of Kanosh and Elders Beckstead and George Crane, all of whom testified to the faithfulness and good works of the deceased. Her four daughters all live with their families in Sevier county, her son Hakan in Arizona, and Albert could not be found by telegram; he is in the vicinity of southern Utah or Arizona engaged in the management of stock, whilst John, the youngest of them all, is doing missionary labor in the State of Indiana.
