PETER THOBORG DIES.
Word was received here Monday of the death that day in Los Angeles of Peter THOBORG, one of the earliest settlers of Eagle and the Eagle river valley. Together with his wife, Mr. THOBORG left his home in Eagle early in the winter to spend the winter months with their daughters residing in California. Apparently, Mr. THOBORG was in his usual good health when they left home, but a few weeks ago he was taken ill and an operation for gastric ulcers was found necessary. Word received here as to his condition led to the belief that he was recovering satisfactorily, until last week, when his daughter here, Mrs. S. H. BACON, received a telegram stating that her father's condition was serious, and she immediately left for his bedside. Monday Mr. BACON received a telegram announcing the death. No further word has been received here, and what arrangements are being made for his funeral and burial are not known, though Mr. BACON is of the opinion that the body will be laid to rest in California. (Later: Just before we go to press we learn that Mr. THOBORG was buried in Los Angeles Wednesday, the funeral having been in charge of the Masons of Los Angeles, the deceased having been a life-long member of that order).
Peter THOBORG has been one of the prominent figures of this part of Colorado since about 1879, he and his wife coming to Leadville from Des Moines, Iowa, at about that time. He was one of the early builders of the town of Eagle. In the absence from Eagle at this time of all of the immediate members of the family, we are unable to secure the facts of his life, for this week's issue of the Enterprise.
