John Murray Drops Dead.

John R. Murray dropped dead this afternoon in front of his home about two o'clock. Mr. Murray was sitting on a log talking to Will Thompson and without warning fell over in Mr. Thompsons arms. Heart trouble was the cause. He was gone before persons across the street could reach him.

Mr. Murray had his left leg amputated years ago on account of blood poison and since then injured it in such a way that the circulation was seriously impaired. He was warned that this would cause heart trouble and intended to go east and have it remedied in the near future.

Hundreds Attend Murray Funeral. Last Sad Rites are Said Over Body of Ashley Valley Pioneer.

Sunday afternoon in the Maeser Ward House was held the funeral of John R. Murray, who dropped dead last Friday afternoon in front of his home.

The funeral was largely attended and nearly 300 people crowded the ward house and listened to three eloquent addresses. John N. Davis was the first speaker and he dwelt lovingly and touchingly on the virtues of the dead man, whom he had known for the past twenty-six years. He was followed by Reverend George A. Downey of the Congregational Church who delivered a short address and spoke words to the bereaved ones.

President Don B. Calder of the Uintah Stake was the last speaker and his address was particularly eloquent and fitting for the occasion. The music was furnished by the Maeser chorus. Burial was in the Maeser Cemetery where the grave was dedicated by Mr. McConkie.
