Mrs. Victoria Clayton McCune, 64, Salt Lake Educator, L.D.S. Church worker and a daughter of Utah pioneers, died at a local hospital at 11:05 a.m. Friday of a nervous disease.

Mrs. McCune, the wife of Matt M. McCune, 2260 Lake Street, was born in Salt Lake, January 26, 1867, the daughter of the late William and Sarah Walters Clayton. Her father was at one time secretary to Brigham Young and came to Utah in 1847. He was an author of many of the L.D.S. church hymns.

Mrs. McCune was a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and at one time was secretary for the organization.

She received her education at the University of Deseret and later was a school teacher in the Salt Lake city schools. She also had been active in the Genealogical society of the church and was a temple worker.

She is survived by her husband, who is a brakeman for the Union Pacific railroad; two sons, and two daughters, Kenneth C. McCune of Ogden and W. Welby McCune of Salt Lake, Mrs. Frank J.
