Death of John Rugg
Mr. John Rugg who for many years was employed in the U. P. shops at Green River, died at Salt Lake city on Monday, Feb. 6th 1893.
He was a kind old gentleman and enjoyed the respect of every one who knew him. He leaves three sons, two daughters, twenty grand children and one great grand child. He was the father of Mrs. George Pepper and Mrs. Charles Gorsutch of Evanston, who have a host of sympathizers.
From the Evanston Register we take the following brief sketch of the life of the deceased:
Mr. John Rugg was born Jan, 11, 1817, in Ulfcom county of Devonshire, England. He accumulated means and came to the United States, landing in New York Jan. 1, 1857, where he entered the employ of Doane & Nichols. By his rectitude and fidelity he gained the esteem of his employers, so that when he decided to come west, he did so, much against their wishes and advice. He came to this country in the year 1867, and worked on the Union Pacific during the construction days of that road, and afterward was employed upon the Utah Central. He then returned to Omaha, but came back again in the year 1872, and settled in Green River, which place was his home until 1882, when he went to Salt Lake City where he resided until his death.
The funeral was held at Evanston, last Wednesday, Rev. W. M. Pierce, of the Methodist church, officiating. Although the day was a stormy one, the funeral was well attended. The remains of the devoted husband and father were laid beside those of the wife, who passed over the dark river some twelve years ago. May they rest in peace.
John & Ellen Beaumont Rugg were md 1 May 1841 in Rosemary St Park, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. They immigrated to America in 1858 on the ship "Columbia" landing in New York. They eventually settled in Evanston, Wyoming. They had 10 children, 8 born in Bristol, the last 2 in New York City.
