OBITUARY OF MRS. JOHN HEYER.
Mrs. Kitty Ethel HEYER was born in Mt. Sterling, Ill., on November 13, 1868, and departed this life on December 11, 1932, at Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Her girlhood had been passed at King City, Mo., where her parents moved while she was still in her infancy. It was also at King City where she met and married her husband, John H. HEYER, the wedding taking place on January 8,1888. Their early married years were spent in King City and there the two eldest children, a son and a daughter, were born.
In 1902 the HEYER family moved to Colorado, settling in Eagle county at Gypsum. Here they have lived ever since and here two more children came to enlarge the happiness of their home.
Mrs. HEYER began to fail in health during the recent summer. In spite of the best care and medical attention she gradually became worse. Finally her family took her to Glenwood Springs where the best medical skill available was secured. In spite of all, she continued to fail. Her end came peacefully near the end of last Sunday.
Mrs. HEYER will long be remembered for her deeds of kindness in the community where she lived. She was active in various organizations; but she put her church first of all. Having come into the Methodist church as a young girl, she continued faithful to it through the years.
She was especially fond of her home and of her family. Since her departure a clipping was found in her Bible that gave a beautiful account of the Bethany home of Lazarus and his two sisters, Martha and Mary. This was the home where Christ often visited. There is no doubt that this home with its knowledge of the divine Guest was the pattern after which Mrs.HEYER planned and conducted her house.
Besides her husband, Mrs. HEYER leaves four children: Willis of Denver, Colo.; Julia, who resides in Glasgow, Mont.; Mrs. Georgia CLARK and John, both living at Gypsum. There are also eight grandchildren living, one of whom, Kitty HEYER, has been staying with her grandparents;and there are also two great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two brothers: George ETHEL of Bisby, Ariz., and County Judge A. K. ETHEL of Eagle; and one sister, Mrs. Carrie BLACKLOCK of King City, Mo.
To these and other relatives and many friends our sympathy is extended while we commit them to the the tender cares of the God of all comfort.
Funeral services in the Methodist in the Methodist church in Gypsum Wednesday afternoon were attended by a large congregation of sorrowing friends, filling the little church to overflowing. A glowing tribute to her life was paid by Rev. C. R. STOCKINGER in the funeral discourse which he delivered.
Burial was in charge of W. H. FARNUM of Glenwood, and the body was laid to rest in Cedar Hill cemetery.
