DEATH OF MRS. NOGAL.
One of the oldest citizens, in point of residence, of Eagle passed away Sunday night when Mrs. Rosetta NOGAL, wife of Charles F. NOGAL died at her home in Eagle.
Mrs. NOGAL came to Eagle county with her husband shortly after they were married in Kansas, sixty years ago, and has been a resident of the county ever since that time.
The deceased was one of the most beloved women of the community, and during her active years, until ill health overtook her, was ever associated with all activities for the advancement of the community. For several years she had suffered poor health, a number of times death being very near, but each time she would rally and again gain fair health. Only this week she made a trip to Minturn, and was feeling unusually well. During the night Sunday she suddenly passed away, with no warning of approaching death, her heart finally refusing to longer serve her indomitable spirit.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church in Eagle Wednesday afternoon, with Rev. F. W. CASSELMAN reading the discourse. Burial was made in Valley View [sic. Sunset View] cemetery at Eagle. A large congregation of friends and old neighbors attended the service and followed the body to the cemetery and sorrowfully witnessed it laid to its last resting place.
The obituary of Mrs. NOGAL will appear in next week's Enterprise, as it was impossible for us to secure the data for it from the family this week.

OBITUARY OF MRS. CHAS. NOGAL.
Early Monday morning, October 28, 1940, while peacefully sleeping, Rosetta Metheney NOGAL passed away at the family home in Eagle, Colo.
No one was more loved, respected and honored than Rose NOGAL, who came to Eagle county as a young woman with her husband, arriving here on March 23, 1885, and homesteading the ranch still owned by her pioneer husband, Charles NOGAL. From the time of the arrival of those early pioneers, hardly a month passed that Rose NOGAL was not called upon to aid some lonely bachelor, or tenderfoot family who became ill or needed help that she so well knew how to administer treating these unfortunates as though they were members of her household. There are, and were many who could say they owe their lives to her nursing and care at a time when the small community had no trained nurses or a doctor within calling distance.
Rosetta METHENEY was born at Lincoln Center, Polk county, Wisconsin, in 1862 and was married to Charles NOGAL January 1, 1880, at Cedar Vale, Kan., and five years later came to Eagle county, Colorado. It was hard pioneering in the eighties and early nineties but Rose NOGAL loved it and she and her family developed a ranch and cattle business, a store, hotel and finally their lovely home.
Mrs. NOGAL leaves surviving: her husband, Charles NOGAL; three children, Edgar NOGAL, Ruth Pauline HOWLAND, and Arthur Ernest NOGAL; three grandchildren, Mary Ruth PRATT, Elva Jean NIMON, Betty Rose HOWLAND, and a brother, Ab METHENEY, of Fall Creek, Oreg., and a sister, Mrs. L. E. PARMENTER, of Cabool, Mo. -- Communicated.
