REES, David One by one the pioneers shuffle off this mortal coil, the latest one to answer the final summons being our old familiar and respected townsman David Rees, who succumbed to dropsy at his cottage near the Rocky Mountain hotel on last Sunday morning at nine oclock, after and illness extending over a period of nearly a year. During his illness he had been tapped no less than ten times, and sank steadily to his death. Ordinarily he was a man of large proportions, vigorous and strong, but during the past few months had grown feeble and was unable to care for himself, remaining conscious, however, until less than two hours before passing away.
Deceased was born at Swansea, South Wales, in the year 1843, coming to America forty five years ago, locating in Pennsylvania, where he engaged in railroad work. About 1871 he removed to Wyoming and has been a resident of Evanston almost continuously since that time. He located here in the capacity of railroad engineer, in which line he continued for a number of years, later engaging in the liquor business. He prospered and invested in real estate and at the time of his death was rich in worldly goods which will now go to his heirs. His estate is estimated at from $50,000 to $75,000, but the true amount cannot be determined upon just at present. Among some of Mr. Rees holdings in Evanston are the following buildings: Rocky Mountain Hotel, Big 4 Saloon, Senate Restaurant, Rocky Mountain Livery Stable, etc. He is said to have made a will, which has been in safe keeping at Salt Lake.
Mr. Rees was one of the pioneers who blazed the trail to the west. He never married but is survived by several relatives, one a young nephew, David Rees who came to America to reside with his uncle and who is now in this community. He has been at Murray, Utah of late and is the only surviving relative in this country, so far as known. Mr. Rees, like others of the human family, had his peculiarities and weakness, but be it said of him he was an enemy to none other than himself, and there are some acts of generosity that will live after him.

Hills made a few short remarks and spoke pleasingly of the deceased.
