(Just a warning to the men to get their dancing shoes broke in.) MYTON William H. Mrs. Sarah Ann Gibboney, 101 6 months and 25 days old, died during the night at the home of Mrs. Bessie Barton, where she had made her home for some time. Mrs. Gibboney, who had been in poor health for some few weeks went to sleep about 10:00 oclock and at 2:00 a. m. Sunday morning, February 20, Mrs. Barton went to Mrs. Gibboneys room to see how she was and found her dead. The exact time of her death is problematical. Sarah Ann Gibboney was born the same date that the Mormon in Athens, Ohio, July 24, 1847, pioneers landed in Salt Lake. She was one of ten children born to Robert and Jane Holden Arbu-thno- t. At the age of four years the family moved to Iowa where Mrs. Gibboney spent her girlhood days. She was married to Alexander Gibboney t January 1, 1869, and they moved to Cuba, Kansas. Eight children were born to them, since that time Mrs. j Gibboney remained a widow more than 65 years. She moved to Myton with her son, Watson Gibboney,. and his family in 1906, each filing on a kenship at Vernal, May 10, 1906. They made their home at Whiterocks for several years and about 1920 came to Myton where Mr. Koehler purchased the Barry Store, a general mercantile establishment, which he operated about 10 years. Poor health forced him to retire. Since that time he has assisted at the R. E. Waugh store and later at the Nebeker store. During the past two years he has been a familiar figure greeting old friends each day as he made his daily visit to the business section of town and was apparently in good health when he was stricken. He is survived by his widow, of Myton; two sisters, Mrs. Emma Bonnin, of Roosevelt, and Mrs. Ida Leffen, of Joplin, Mo. Funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian Church at Myton Wednesday afternoon with Rev. Charles Ray, of Roosevelt, in charge. Rurial took place in the Roosevelt cemetery under the direction of the Harold Dillman Funeral Home of Roosevelt.
