Died: 1908
Age: 53 y's
Note: Death of Jonathan Veitch. The body of Jonathan Veitch, newly elected county commissioner from Elk Mountain, was found dead in a cabin near his ranch last Wednesday morning by a searching party. He had got out Tuesday and as he did not return that evening a searching party was organized Wednesday and his body was found seated on a chunk of wood in the cabin. He had been afflicted with what is known as "miner's asthma" and this was the immediate cause of his death, he having choked to death in a fit of coughing. The burial took place at Carbon on Friday and was largely attended, as he was very highly esteemed by all who knew him. He leaves a fife and five sons, George, John, Evan, Dan and Lincoln. Much sympathy is expressed for the family in their affliction. (The Saratoga Sun, Dec. 17, 1908)
