Anthony, one of the Seven Presidents of Seventy, died at Elsinore, Utah, in his mission field, at eleven a. m., on Friday, May 26. This we learn from a telegram sent by Bro. David W. Wight, who was with Bro. Anthony during his recent illness and at his death. Instructions were forwarded to Bro. Wight to send the remains to Lamoni for burial from the home of the family. Bro. Anthony died at his post of duty in the field, a veteran in the service, having entered the ministry as an active missionary in the ranks of the Seventy in February, 1877. He has labored in the Southern mission, in Iowa and Nebraska, but mostly in the Rocky Mountain mission. He was well known to the ministry and the saints, among whom he was esteemed for his extended labors and kindly disposition. He has passed on to his reward. His death came a sudden and severe visitation to Sister Anthony and her children. They have the sincere sympathy of saints and friends in their sore bereavement.
