Show ILLNESS OF WM. [WILLIAM] C. STAINES.<br><br> For some time past Elder Staines, of Salt Lake City, has been seriously ill, and not expected to live; still there were some hopes entertained for his recovery. Now, however, we receive the news that his condition is very deplorable, although he is still alive, there is absolutely no hope for his recovery. We are somewhat sorry at this sad news, and though we can hardly expect anything else, considering his advanced age and weakness. Up till last May and for many years past he had been attending to the emigration business of Church at New York, but had to come home then on account of his failing health.<br><br> Since the news was in type we learn that Elder Staines died at about 10 o'clock p. m. Wednesday, Aug. 3d. |
