STEPHEN MARKHAM DIED OF HEART DISEASE

Stephen Markham, 64 years old, died at his home here last Friday afternoon of chronic myocarditis after a serious illness of about ten days.

Mr. Markham was the son of Colonel Stephen Markham, who had the distinction of being one of the personal body-guards of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and while Joseph Smith was in jail visited him frequently. The son, Stephen, was born at Palmyra, the original site of Spanish Fork, on September 28th, 1855. The parents had come to Utah with the early pioneers in 1847 and Mr. Markham was one of the first children born in the settlement of Palmyra. He was married on May 10, 1879 to Sarah Lloyd. They have always made their home in the vicinity of this city. Five sons and a daughter were born to them. The widow and four sons survive him. The sons are Thomas, Carlos, Arthur and Dail.

Funeral services were held over the remains Monday afternoon at the Second ward meeting house. Bishop Wells T. Brockbank was in charge. The opening selection by the choir was "O It Is Wonderful." The invocation was offered by David Davis, after which the choir sang, "O Grave Where Is Thy Victory," Mrs. Blanche Moore Lewis singing the solo.

The speakers were Bishop Marinus Larsen, Bishop Lorenzo Argyle and John H. Hayes. Bishop Brockbank also made a few remarks in closing. All the speakers spoke highly of the character of Mr. Markham.

The choir sang in closing, "I Know That My Redeemer Lives," after which the benediction was pronounced by Joseph Brockbank.
