Deceased is a sister of our esteemed citizens James and Hans Westergaard, of Harrisville. The wife of our friend James gave birth to a boy baby three weeks ago, since which time she has been confined to her bed, but was on a very fair way of recovery and was considered out of all danger, but the shock of her sister-in-law's death, disturbed her mind, and although, at six o'clock p.m., she ate a hearty supper and nursed her babe, at 6:30 she took a congestive chill and death seized her in a moment. There being no one present but Miss Margaret Fisher, who had been hired to wait on the house during her sickness. Her husband was in Ogden at the time, arranging for the burial of his sister. The screams of the children soon brought in a few neighbors, and some men travelers who were journeying from Payson to Sanke River. Deceased, whose name was Mary Westergaard, was born in Haderilew, Denmark. She came to Utah 12 years ago, and was, at the time of her death, 37 years, 1 month and 3 days old.
