DEATH OF CHARLES BEMIS.
Charley BEMIS, a rancher from on Salt Creek near Eagle, died in the sanitarium in Glenwood Springs last Monday morning after an illness with pneumonia of but a few days. Mr. BEMIS had contracted pneumonia while doing his ranch work a few days before his death, and his condition had rapidly become so serious that he had been removed to the hospital last Friday where he could get the best of care. His condition, however, continued to get worse until his death.
The remains were brought home Tuesday evening and the funeral held Wednesday afternoon. The remains were followed to the cemetery by a large number of friends and neighbors, where a short service was held by Rev. J. F. GAITHER of the Methodist church, and a song sung by the mixed quartet.
The deceased was born fifty-four years ago in northeastern Kansas, coming to Colorado in 1892. He was a teamster by trade, and followed this business for a number of years, coming to Eagle county from Marble fifteen or sixteen years ago, and sometime after bought the little ranch where he lived with his family at the time of his death. He was married while living at Marble, and to this union was born one child a daughter, who together with the widow, survive the death of the husband and father. His passing is regretted by a large number of friends who knew him as a good and accommodating neighbor.
