EAGLE COUNTY PIONEER DIES.
John Jacob MEYER, an old Eagle County pioneer, died at Salida last Saturday from the effect of an operation. He had been ailing for several years, and decided to enter the Red Cross hospital and submit to an operation, which proved fatal. He was born at Rudlinger, Switzerland, March 16, 1839, and emigrated to this country in 1862, settling in Ohio, where he was married to Rosa STRAUB on April 4, 1872. They removed to Kansas where they resided for several years. For the past thirty years the family has made their home in Eagle County, residing at Mitchell principally. He was a lifelong member of the German Reformed church. He leaves a wife and five sons.
Mr. MEYER left Eagle for Salida on the 3rd of this month, and the operation was performed the next day. -- Eagle Valley Enterprise.
