Yesterday—Christmas day—Mrs. Sarah M. Pratt, relict of the late Apostle Orson Pratt, died at the residence of her son Arthur, 105 B Street, Eighteenth Ward. The deceased had been afflicted for about ten years with rheumatism, which finally touched the region of her heart, terminating, as a matter of course, when that stage was reached, fatally. Mrs. Pratt has, we believe, resided in Utah since 1851, having arrived here about four years after the Pioneers, and was therefore well known in the community.

Lawrence, George Y. Wallace, Henry Miles, LeGrande Young, Ellsworth Daggett, Bolivar Roberts, H.P. Mason, and Joseph E. Caine.
