Rock Springs Miner no. 8 February 20, 1915
DEATH VISITS THE HOME OF A.M. KING

The Rock Springs friends of Mr. and Mrs. A.M. King, were grieved to learn of the death of their youngest son, Cecil, which occurred on Friday, Feb. 12th, in Diamondville.

The towns of Kemmerer and Diamondville have been suffering from a bad epidemic of scarlet fever, and the home of Mr. and Mrs. King was among those under quarantine. The children were thought to be getting along nicely, when the death of little Cecil occurred.

While the home was under quarantine, Mr. King, who had been stopping at the hotel, was taken sick with a serious throat trouble, It became necessary for him to go to Salt Lake City for treatment and he was there when his little son passed away. He returned home at once, although he had undergone an operation on his throat but two days before.

The funeral was held at two o’clock last Sunday afternoon and the little body was laid to rest in the Diamondville [sic] cemetery.
