Another pioneer of the county passed on when Walter HYDE died in the Colorado General hospital in Denver last Friday, March 6.
Mr. Hyde's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac [may be an error] HYDE, came to Colorado from Missouri in the early 70's, and on September 4, 1872, Walter was born at Fairplay, Colo. In the early 80's the HYDE family settled on the ranch near the mouth of Lake creek, and on which a brother of the deceased, Bert HYDE, lived until his death less than two years ago.
Walter grew to manhood in the county, and spent most of his life here. He was an ardent prospector and followed mining a major portion of his years. For a number of years he lived in Utah, where he was engaged in mining.
For the past ten or twelve years he had lived in Gold Park, mining in that region. For three years past he had been in very poor health, spending most of that time in Red Cliff.
Several months ago he entered the Colorado General hospital in Denver for treatment. He was out of the hospital for a time, but in February he had to return, and last Friday the end came.
At his request, his body was laid to rest in a Denver cemetery.
Two sisters, Mrs. Laura LIVINGSTON of Eagle, and Mrs. Howard VAN HORN of McCoy, are only close relatives surviving.
Walt HYDE had many friends among people in Eagle county, who regret his passing.
