Doings of the Death Angel from Saratoga Wyoming
Word comes from Saratoga Wyoming of the death of Gay Epperson on August 15 at age 38. He was a son of A C Epperson and brother of A L Epperson of Lyons township. Pneumonia from exposure to wet air of virulent type claimed his life after a brave, daily struggle to live, ending at 5 a.m. Sunday. The Saratoga Sun notes this as the fifth Epperson death in five years, recounting Vona F Epperson in Encampment 1904, Adel Epperson injured in Salt Lake City three years ago and later died, Boss Epperson in Salt Lake City two years later, and A C Epperson dying in Salt Lake City last May. The mother and surviving relatives mourn the loss.
