Oscar Gutke death notices

Oscar Gutke Is Dead Here of Blood Poisoning

A gunshot wound, accidentally inflicted about four weeks ago was the contributing cause of the death yesterday of Oscar J Gutke Reno night watchman

He was employed as watchman at the Fordonia building and the injury was caused when his revolver fell from his pocket and discharged. The bullet struck him in the leg.

He was the husband of Mrs. Mary M Gutke of Reno and father of Mrs. Marie Sheranian of Murray Utah Mrs. Doris Smith of Oakland and Allan Gutke of Richmond Cal

Oscar Gutke and John E. Gutke gravestones

I went to take pictures of these graves today. It was a beautiful day! (When I went on Memorial Day it was pouring rain and I didn't have a map with me.)


Oscar's headstone at his grave in Mountain View Cemetery in Ogden, Weber County, Utah, now part of Aultorest Memorial Park. At some point someone must have put a new headstone here?  This doesn't seem like it would be the original.

DATE DISCREPENCY: I have from LDS Family Search that Oscar was born in 1871.


The grave next to Oscar's is that of his son, John E. Gutke, born in 1900 and died in 1918. It looks like it has been dug out and reset? The graves are next to some Richey's, who I believe may be relatives of Oscar's first wife Rhoda Ann Player. Maybe the Richey's let Oscar bury his son there and later buried him in the same plot. Rhoda Ann is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery in a plot with Oscar's father and mother, brother and sister.





To look up next time I'm in Salt Lake!
