• Notes

  Cause of Death: Salmonella Typhi lives only in humans. Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of persons, called carriers , recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Both ill persons and carriers shed S. Typhi in their feces (stool). You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled by a person who is shedding S. Typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi bacteria gets into the water you use for drinking or washing food. Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where handwashing is less frequent and water is likely to be contaminated with sewage. Once S. Typhi bacteria are eaten or drunk, they multiply and spread into the bloodstream. The body reacts with fever and other signs and symptoms.

Last Friday morning Miss Millie Moulton, a former resident of Heber, passed peacefully away in Salt Lake City, at which place she has been employed during the past five years and at which place the family has resided for the past three? years. Miss Moulton’s health has been failing since early last May but she continued to work on. On July 31st she was taken seriously ill with typhoid fever and with this disease later complications set in which finally proved fatal. All that skilled physicians, trained nurses, and kind friends could do was done but to no avail other than alleviating immediate suffering. Great hopes were entertained by her many friends for her recovery. She lingered long and struggled hard and was indeed a patient sufferer, but “he that giveth also taketh away� and after 11 weeks of severe suffering death claimed her. It is said by those who attended the deceased, that life was very sweet to her and that several times during her serious illness she passed the portals of the grave but was permitted to come back for a time to share her life with those she labored for and loved so much. Her life was unselfish and devoted to others; she was a sincere Latter-Day Saint and her faith in the priesthood was manifest to the very end. Funeral services were held in Wasatch Stake tabernacle on Sunday, Oct, 20th, at 3:30 p.m. Many and consoling were the words spoken and the singing was done by her home friends. The many beautiful floral offerings were evidence of the love of her friends and the high esteem in which she was held by the people in general. Interment took place in the Heber City cemetery. The family wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to all those who in any way assisted during the time of sickness, death and b?rful of the now absent one.
