KAYSVILLE KINKS - #63 IN SERIES - MARCH 1896 Elizabeth Geeves Barnes (1838-1896)

• KAYSVILLE KINKS - #63 IN SERIES - MARCH 1896
• A number of families in Kaysville are seriously infected with black measles. A number of the children are sick nigh unto death. David Gailey lost his 8 year old son from them a few days ago.
• Mrs. Nichols, the Kaysville Midwife, who has been so dangerously ill for a few weeks is now slowly convalescing.
• A big crowd of horsemen were out looking for coyotes last Saturday. To see so many out reminds one of the English Fox Hound hunts. The boys say if a coyote can be kept running as fast as it can for 1 mile and then be out of breath and give out but they are cute enough to take it easy as soon as the horse slacks up.
• Nathan Reeves the newly returned missionary took out a marriage license and was married on Thursday of the same week to one of the young ladies who joined the Kaysville Ward on the previous Sunday. It seems Elder Reeve is determined to demonstrate he believes in the good old book teachings which says: "It is not good for a man to be alone."
• Elizabeth Geeves Barnes, 2nd wife of Senator John R. Barnes died at the family home yesterday of pneumonia. She was born in England on March 6, 1838 and came to Utah in 1864. She leaves a child, one son.
