Show The men set out for the Canyon where they found Morgan's frozen body less than a mile of home. The severe injuries and bitter cold had taken their toll. Word of the tragedy spread quickly through the close-knit community, bringing con¬cerned friends and family members from as far away as Hooper, Weber County, to the rescue. OGDEN DAILY HERALD: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1883 BURIED IN SNOWSLIDE Mr. Oliver Belnap of Hooper came in this morning from his home. He reported that he learned at his burg that a young man from Mountain Green, by the name of Morgan Robinson, about 19 years of age, was buried in a snowslide in Strawberry Canyon, Weber Valley, yesterday or the day before. Some of the young man's relatives in Hooper were informed of the fact, several of them going out to rescue their friend. It was not known whether Robinson had been killed by his accident or not, al¬though his chances are considered very slim. OGDEN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1883 SMOTHERED IN SNOW Two men buried in the congealed atmospheric moisture. Special to the Herald—Peterson, Morgan County, Utah, December 19. In addition to our previous communication concerning the double tragedy which occurred in Strawberry Valley yesterday, we have learned the following: Two men, William Harrington and Isaac Morgan Robinson, went from here hunting last Monday and failed to return. On Wednesday a search was made and the fact re¬vealed that they were caught in a snowslide. The dead body of Robinson was found but nothing of Harrington. Further search for his body is being made today. OGDEN DAILY HERALD: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1883 Mr. John Green of Enterprise, Morgan County, called on us this afternoon and reported that the body of William Harrington, one of the two men killed in a snow- slide in Strawberry Canyon, Morgan County, has been recovered. Tuesday morning an exploring party of 24 men was organized in the different settlements and they started from Mountain Green up the Canyon, diligently searching. Mr. Green, himself, was exploring while the other 23 were digging in the snow. Their laborous and faithful efforts were rewarded with success about 4:00 o'clock when they found the remains of William Harrington buried about two feet under the snowslide. 96 |
