Iteath came saddenly to llmry Spriggs, well known and beloved tuning ramp character whose home tor many yeura had been at Park City but who had a host of frlepda In Eureka where a purl of hla life had been apent. He passed away on Tuiaday, at a Salt Like hotel, at the uye of 72 years. The Mp to the atate rapltal had Irf en made for the purpose of attending a reunion of former Park City people and a few hundred others who roniluue to make their ln:we in that mining ramp. On bis arrival at Salt Lake Mr. Spriggs was nit feeling well and he went to his hotel to rest instead of Joining his friends who had gathered for the perputo of taking part In a moat In teiesting program. An hour or two later his ilehth was announced, The cause wuh heart trouble. N'o mail, woman or child ever bad a belter Irlend thin Henry Rprlgfe no community ever had a more loyal citizen. He was a wonderful friend because he did much In the way of frlendlv acta and was prompted solely by the desire to do good and had no thought of being repaid; he wna a good cltisen because he understood the requirements of citizenship and did not shirk any of lifes tasks aud responsibilities. In the later years of his life he was pretty much alone in the world but he always found someone on whom to luvlsh love and bestow sincere friendships. Only nls closest friends knew of his cha'lt-ubl- e arts and thoughts and of bis high Ideals. Cyrus Henry Spriggs was born in ibis state. He came of old pioneer stock and knew something of the hardships of enrly day life In Utah. His brother, Irwin Spriggs, a former mayor of Eureka, died a year ago In the northwest where he was engaged in placer mining. Henry Spriggs at the time of hla death owned, hut did not operate, a soft: drink parlor and billiard hall at Park City. He made hla home on a ranch just below the Summit county mining camp.
