GANN, aged 76 years. He leaves surviving him his sorrowing widow, a daughter, Mrs. Dreeme HENSON, and a son, William R. GANN. The remains were brought to Las Vegas for interment and the funeral services were held this (Saturday) afternoon at the Undertaking Chapel, Rev. W. H. ROGERS officiating. The deceased was one of the real pioneers of Clark county having been a resident for over 30 years. In the days when Eldorado Canyon was enjoying its phenomenal prosperity as a mining camp, Mr. GANN was there. Later he moved to the Moapa Valley, where he has since resided, becoming one of the most prosperous and influential citizens of that section. He was possessed of a kindly nature which made friends of all with whom he came in contact, and his passing brings to us the sense of a real and irreparable loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to those who mourn.
