Teddy Thorson, well known by all the miners of the Horse Mountain country, and in fact throughout the mining districts of Eagle county, died in Eagle last Friday night from a complication of ailments, superinduced by the flu, which he contracted during the epidemic of that disease. Thorson has been residing at Fulford during the greater portion of his residence in the county, having arrived here during the early stages of the Lady Belle excitement from Breckenridge. He became impressed with the Fulford district upon his first visit and became a strong and persistent booster for the camp, and at the time of his death owned valuable claims in the district.
Theodore Thorson was about 47 years of age at his demise, was a Norwegian by birth but reached the United States early in his career. He followed mining almost exclusively since locating in Colorado, and had many friends in the different camps over the state where he was employed. The funeral was in charge of the county, the interment being at Gypsum Sunday morning.
