Myron Hacking Dies In Salt Lake On Wednesday, October 23.

Myron Hacking, is another victim to the influenza contagion. He died Wednesday morning in a Salt Lake Hospital. This news comes as somewhat of a shock to many friends of the young man, who reside in all parts of the county.

He left the last part of Setember with a shipment of cattle, bound for Omaha. It was not until he was on his way home that he felt ill. Upon his arriving in Salt Lake, he told his companions that he wasn't feeling well, but never once complained of being seriously ill. On Tuesday evening he remarked to a friend, who advised that he secure a physician, that he would be all right the next morning, as he had but a little cold. C. W. Showalter, who was with the party from Omaha, upon learning that Myron was sick, came to his room in the hotel. He immediately made arrangements for the young man to be taken to a hospital.

Late Tuesday evening he lapsed into unconsciousness, and Dr. Warren Colton, who was the attending physician, worked steadily three hours in an effort to revive him, but without avail. Death came a few hours later.

Myron Hacking was 21 years old last June. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Hacking he leaves a young widow and a 19 month-old baby boy. He was born in Vernal, attending the district school and the Uintah Academy. He married Nellie Hislop, of Maeser. He was a young man who was much respected in his ward and community, and one who was always known to do what was asked of him, always being ready to lend a helping hand. He was devoted to his wife and as a boy at home always was very considerate of his parents.

Expressions of sympathy are extended to his grief-stricken wife and parents. It was but a week ago that his mother laid away her brother, Alfred Hall, who died of the same disease. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
