Robert Iliff, Who Died at The Poor Farm, Was of High Connection
Yesterday afternoon Robert Iliff died at the county poorhouse from the effects of fire, which occurred in the cabin where he was living, some time last week. Iliff was a morphine addict and in a decidedly weakened condition at the time of the fire. He will probably be buried in the potter's field at the poor farm, as he left no money, and there are none of his relatives in the city. He is a brother of Rev. T.C. Iliff of Salt Lake, who is probably the best known minister of the gospel in Utah. He is at the head of the Methodist church in the city of the Latter-day Saints, and has been a prominent worker for prohibition at that place. The county physician has been trying to get into communication with Mr. Iliff, but as yet has not received any word from him.
