MECHAM -- An aged and respected citizen of Cannonville, departed this life at 7 o'clock a.m., August 15th, 1887, after the brief illness of one hour of dropsy of the heart.

He was born in Erie county, New York, April 20th, 1818; embraced the Gospel while in his youth and removed to Utah in the fall of 1849, settling in Salt lake City. After residing there and in adjacent towns for a number of years, he was called to Southern Utah, where he labored diligently.

He came to Cannonville in December, 1877, where he has continued to reside until his demise. His dying words to his children were: "Be kind to your mother and remain firm and true in the kingdom of God," These words being uttered, his spirit took its flight.

Brother Mecham survived the many and relentless persecutions that the early Saints passed through in the states of Missouri and Illinois. He was initmately acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith, was a member of the High Priests' quorum, and the father of fourteen children, nine of whom, with his beloved wife, are left to mourn his sudden departure. - Deseret News
