My great grandfather.

OBITUARY: Deseret Evening News, Tuesday 8 Sept 1908:
Sunday morning last John Edward Metcalf, a familiar figure passed away after suffering for some weeks. Mr. Metcalf was for many years well known as a hotel proprietor in Manti and previous to coming here was a resident of Gunnison and Fayette, his parents locating in the latter place as early as the "fifties."
Deceased was born in Hull, England June 23, 1839. He has a family residing in Oregon, and a number of children here to mourn his loss. Mr. Metcalf was for many years engaged in farming, stock raising and also owned some sheep. He was for some time superintendent of the Gunnison Co-op, and performed missionary labors in the Southern States many years ago. He was proprietor of what was known as the Temple hotel during the erection of the Manti temple for a number of years. He was a faithful man in religious affairs, always willing and ready to assist in every good work required of him by those in authority. He has in later years been an almost constant worker in the Manti temple and has been of much assistance to Patriarch John B. Maiben since the sudden departure of the latter's family by death. Funeral services will be held from the tabernacle Wednesday.

Died of typhoid fever.
