  Notes	The following articles were found in the “Davis County Clipper” about James Hepworth. - A Tribute to James Hepworth On His 85th Birthday - What a privilege to live To be old as a tree, A well-spent life conscience clear, Traveling on to Eternity. We all come here, a mission to fill And Uncle Jim has done it well He is leaving behind a score or more, Children as numerous as sands on the shore. There is no greater monument That man can build on earth He struggled hard and kept the faith Since the morning of his birth. And so today at eighty fifth We lay our garlands at his feet Uncle Jim, hold up your head, Your life has been complete. ~Lavina Mann Argyle - An obituary printed 1937-03-26 - “James Hepworth of West Bountiful Dies in Salt Lake James Hepworth, 86, of West Bountiful died Monday afternoon of causes incident to age at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Maude Harmon, 1149 Fifteenth East Street, Salt Lake.
