Bowring
Pioneer Actor Dies at Brigham City
Henry
E. Bowring, one of the
pioneer theatrical men and actors of Utah, died at Brigham City
Saturday. His death was sudden and unexpected. Mr. Bowring landed in
America just half a century ago with but one cent in his pocket.
Undaunted by circumstances, he made his way to Iowa City, Ia., and
later traveled by foot to Utah. In early days Mr. Bowring built a small
theater in Salt Lake City, which was one of the first here.
At one time Mr. Bowring had four wives, all of whom are now dead. He
lived in Salt Lake City until 1877, and has since made his home at
Brigham City. His funeral will be held at that place at 1 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.

Burrell
Johy Raymond Burrell, son of
William and Elma Burrell, of the 2nd ward of this city, departed this
life Saturday morning, the 9th, of pneumonia. The young man was robust
and hearty, the very picture of health, until attacked last Wednesday
with the dread disease. He was 19 years old and had always lived with
his parents working for his father in the sawmill. It is needless to
say that the family is greatly shocked at his untimely taking away. We
extend sincerest sympathy to those bereaved.
