“... William Wesley Minto Obituary Last Thursday evening W. W. Minto, a Chehalis young man who had been sent to the asylum at Steilacoom a few days before, died at that institution. Mr. Minto was 30 years of age and an excellent young man. He was employed as fireman at the door factory until a few months ago when he suffered a severe spell of pneumonia, which later resulted in his becoming subject to insane spells which made it necessary to have him committed to the asylum. He leaves a young wife, Mrs. Janie Minto who is a daughter of D. H. Blankenship of Mossyrock…. “
