Show Blood Poison Ends Life N. J. Coivey, Manager Ephraim Opera House The news of the death of N. J. Coivey Coi-vey In the L. D. S. Hospital In Salt Lake last Sunday morning cast a shadow sha-dow over the whole community, for thirteen of the most active years ot his life were spent here, and every heart was touched with sympathy for the sorrowing family. His death was the result of blood poison caused by a bruise sustained by stumbling against the rocker of a chair and i which seemed so slight that he paid j but little attention to it for several ' days. After it was found that medi- ; cal treatment was of no avail he was i advised to go to Salt Lake a week ' ago last Monday and undergo an op- ; eration. What was thought to be a ' successful operation was performed i the next morning but it was learned j later that the poison had gained cir- culation through his body, and hopes j of saving his life were abondened Saturday. Nathan J. Coivey was born in Illinois, Illi-nois, May 21, 1S76. He came to Utah seventeen years ago and has been a citizen of Ephraim for thirteen years. He married Miss Callie Thorpe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Thorpe of this city, who with four children survives. His cheerful, helpful help-ful disposition, his devotion to his I1 wife and family and kindness to all s with whom he came in contact will long linger as a pleasant memory in the community which his presence j brightened and to which he was al- j ways loyal. About four years ago he j became manager of the Opera House and engaged in the moving picture ;.; business. Here he found employment employ-ment to which he was peculiarly adapted, and he soon gained the reputation rep-utation of being one of the foremost motion picture men in Central Utah. His plans for elevating the amusement amuse-ment standard of the city are now jR known to but a few of his confidants, f but his work along these lines and fs the general trend of his endeavers will become more and more evident with the passing of time. fp' The last services were held at the 'i tabernacle at 3 p. m.
