Show Wm Vm Moss Formost Producer Pay Roll Builder J Passes On W William Moss tos to's one of the most outstanding characters in the in intermountain in country a man who ha has been instrumental in feeding clothing and employing more men and makin making work for mo more men wo we believe than any we ever knew lied died suc suddenly at his hia home in West Bountiful Wednesday afternoon of ofa ofa i a heart attack Since the days of I the ancient shepherds it is js doubt doubt- doubtful doubtful I ful if any man enjoyed the great outdoors more than he or saw MW more of it We always regarded Mr Moss as the backbone of the great reat hu hui- hui busi business i- i iness ness floss he built up Up time of the panic the stock in his company was sought and bought by men who were en engaged a ed in national of- of af affairs fairs so they were in n a position to know of the the- th best stocks in the country The work he did was similar to that of a creator as the f feed l on the desert that would have been wasted d and amid on the hills that rio no other animal would cat t was con con- converted converted converted into wool and mut mutton n Vh When n W we consider that this man sUJ superintended the ne raising raising of f up- up upwards up upwards wards of a million sheep in his life we can enn appreciate what a l lot of employment this thili furnished Not only the berder herders that were with the sheep but the tho men who shear the shoe shoe-p spin w weave e and make clothing of it the same with the packers packer and the retailers who handle the meat ment Men on the tb-e ranches putting up hay feeding sh sheep p and cattle The Live Stock of which superintendent he was the manager and ang operated over twenty sheep herds of about 2000 in a heard There would probably be that man many lambs each year so in the course of forty ye years rs the number would total over h however wever he began raising sh sheep p prior to 40 years ars a ago o so 80 the estimate
