Clara M. CALHOUN, aged 74, passed away March 27 at a Glenwood Springs hospital, following an illness of several years.
Born May 19, 1876 to William and Alice TROXEL at Webb City, Mo., she spent her childhood in Missouri. In 1893 she moved to Taos, New Mexico, making the trip in a covered wagon. There she met and married Frank REYNOLDS, and later moved to Colorado, making her home at Rico. To this union were born three daughters and a son who died in infancy. Mr. REYNOLDS died many years ago.
She later moved to Durango, then to Denver, and for the past 20 years has made Eagle County her home, living in Gypsum and in Minturn.
During her long illness she was cared for by her daughter, Rose SAGRILLO, until she entered a Glenwood hospital a few months ago. Mrs. SAGRILLO was at her mother's bedside at the time of her death.
Funeral services were held in Gypsum at the Lutheran Church by Rev. Delbert PAULSON of Eagle Sunday and burial, under the direction of Bowman Funeral Chapel of Eagle, was in the Gypsum cemetery.
Funeral music included two vocal numbers by Mrs. Dorothy GERARD accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Lola BORAH.
Pallbearers were Willis STAUP, Jack BRIDGES, Harold ROWBOTHAM, Henry SAGRILLO, Albert and Elmer NELSON.
Survivors are her three daughters, Mrs. Marie CAMPBELL, Richmond, Calif.; Mrs. Myrtle SNODGRASS, Fullerton, Calif.; and Mrs. Rose SAGRILLO, Minturn. Seven grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren also survive and two brothers, Frank and Will TROXEL of Billings, Mont.
