DEATH OF MRS. JACK LAYTON.
Mrs. Jack LAYTON passed away at her home in Eagle Wednesday morning, June 15, after a short illness following what appeared to be a slight stroke of paralysis.
Born in Iowa May 8, 1859, she moved to Missouri with her parents when a small child and grew to womanhood in that state. In 1884 she moved to Gypsum, Colo., and in 1891 was married to Jack LAYTON in Gypsum. Since that time she and her husband have made this community their home continuously with short excursions abroad, but always calling this home.
Mrs. LAYTON was a true pioneer woman, during the earlier years of her marriage accompanying her husband on his frequent prospecting trips in the mountains and being a true pal to him on their excursions. She was a good woman, a splendid neighbor, a faithful wife, and a lady highly respected by her neighbors.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church in Eagle Thursday afternoon, in charge of Mortician O. W. MEYER, and the funeral sermon was delivered by Miss HOLVERSON, minister of the Four Square church, of which the deceased was an adherent. A large crowd of old friends of earlier days and neighbors attended the funeral to pay their last respects to another of the pioneer women of Colorado, whose ranks are fast thinning. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Eagle following the services at the church.
During the services at the church two duets, "Sometime, Somehow We'll Understand," and "He Knows It All," were sang by Mrs. R. R. CRIE and Alvin WEBB, and Mr. WEBB sang a solo, "No Night There." They were accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Vernon MANN.
The pall bearers were Jos. HARRIS, A. L. FULFORD, Frank BROWN, A. B. KOONCE, H.A. STEIN and Adrian REYNOLDS, JR.
Mrs. LAYTON is survived by only one known near relative, her husband.
