Show NADAHAS JA70 RAIN Passing of Dr. Robert McOhesney is ' Cause of Much Sorrow to j N'ada Friends Another aged neighbor and friend has been called to the great beyond, Dr. Robert McChesney, who lacked but a few weeks of reaching the four score years and ten mark, died in Milford last Sunday, January 20. Although so advanced in years the venerable doctor's mind was wonderfully won-derfully clear. He was a graduate Of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1850 and was in active practice 'til about twelve years ago. On Sunday, January 13, it was considered best to take him where he could receive medical attention, as he had been failing for some time. Accordingly, arrangements were made to take him to Milford. A number of sympathizing friends were assembled at the box car station to await with him the belated train. Everything possible was done for the comfort of "Uncle Robert," as he was lovingly known by all, although no one bound to him by ties of blood was present,' which seems particularly particular-ly sad, after having led such a long and useful life of service to others. For over a year the aged man had been kindly eared for by the wife of a nephew, Mrs. Maude McChesney, whom the closest neighbors and friends testify "has babied htm all the time." J. E. Harter accompanied accompa-nied the sick man to Milford. Today, January 26, is the birthday birth-day of the Nada Post Office. The "little one" is four years old. The Cooperative Observer's Meteorological Me-teorological Record of U. S. Department Depart-ment of Agriculture, Weather Bureau, Bu-reau, records a precipitation for the year 1916 of 14.70 inches. Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Colvin, Charley Char-ley Ruck, Mrs. McChesney, Mr. and Mrs. Harter have been recent visitors visit-ors to Milford. H. Linderman Is home from Cedar City, where he has been doing expert ex-pert carpenter work. He expects to return when the weather will permit further work. The people of this section of the valley have once more helped to keep up tho reputation of neighborliness among the homesteaders, as shown in the vying with one another to do kindly acts towards Mr. Barnes, of Thermo, who was so ill recently. |
