Gibson, Thomas Kell an aged resident of this city, was found dead in his room at N street at 10 o’clock yesterday morning by Daniel Kennedy, a friend of the deceased. He had called to see the old man on business, but received no answer to the knock at the door. He rapped several times, but still there was no response, and he finally went to the window and peered in. The sight that met his gaze was a most ghastly one. and for a few moments he was overcome. The old man was lying on the floor, with his face covered with blood, and his coat literally saturated. In his hand he clutched a clotted handkerchief. and the other hand was covered with blood.  The floor was liberally sprinkled, and the sight was most horrible. Although there were no marks of violence on the face or body, the appearance was highly indicative of death by some other than natural means.  Mr. Kennedy accordingly telephoned the police headquarters. The body was removed to Joseph E. Taylor’s undertaking establishment and an Inquest was held in the parlors. Justice Kroeger conducted the Inquest. Five witnesses were examined, among them being County Physician Anderson, who testified that the deceased had evidently met his death by natural causes. The cause assigned was hemorrhage of the lungs. Uther witnesses testified that the old man had been complaining of pains in the region of his heart for some time, and the coroner’s jury. John T. Lynch. A.  C. Brixen and E. A. King, brought in a verdict that the deceased had met his death by natural causes. Mr. Gibson was 75 years old and had lived in this city for twenty-seven years.

Romney, Albert----  After an illness that lasted only through the night, Albert Romney, son of Bishop Romney of the Twentieth ward and a well-known young man of the city, died at 6:30 o’clock yesterday morning. When he retired the night before he was in the best of health and spirits, but as night wore on he became very ill and shortly after dawn he passed away. The death came as a great shock to the relatives and many friends of the young man. The cause assigned for the sudden death is heart failure, although it is just possible that It may have been induced by an attack of heat prostration which he experienced while on a mission to Germany in I894. He was in good health on Thursday and was at work in the carpet department of the Z. C. M. I. where he was employed. He complained of the heat as others of Salt Lake‘s citizens had done, but did not speak of any special illness from that source. It was at 3 o’clock yesterday morning that his condition became alarming and Dr. S. L. Richards was summoned. All that medical aid could do was done but nothing could save him. The deceased was born in Salt Lake twenty-eight years ago and has resided here ever since, with the exception of three years spent on a mission to Germany. He leaves a wife and two children. He resided at 858 East Twelfth South street, and was a son of Bishop George Romney and Vilate Romney. Salt Lake Herald June 23, 1900
