F.M. McQuivey, well known mine worker and prospector, was killed at midnight on Sunday when a rock fell on him as he was working as a timberman in the Tintic Standard mine. The accident took place on the 700 level of the mine and the rock struck McQuivey in such a manner that his neck was broken causing almost instant death. He had been employed at the Tintic Standard for about six months but had also worked at this property on other occasions.

Deceased was 69 years of age. He was born in Wisconsin and came to this state about twenty-six years ago. For nearly twenty years he had followed mining in this district, working at various mines and also spending considerable time in the development of his own claims which are located in the northern end of the district.

Some years ago Mr. McQuivey was prominently identified with the Socialist party of Eureka and also took a leading part in the affairs of the Tintic Miners' Union. He was far above the average in intelligence and devoted a good part of his time to reading and study of economic problems. His death is sincerely regretted by the people of Tintic.

Deceased is survived by four children: Theodore and Roland McQuivey and Mrs. Holman, all of American Fork, and another daughter whose home is in the Uintah Basin section of the state.

Rev. Frary presided at the funeral services which were conducted on Wednesday afternoon at the Franke Funeral Home.

Interment took place in the city cemetery under the direction of Mr. Franke.
