INFLUENZA TAKES HEAVY TOLL IN EAGLE
Charley JOHNSON and Mrs. W. H. HEYER Pass Away Victims of the Great Scourge last Saturday Morning.
Sorrow was expressed on every hand and a pall of grief hungover the community last Saturday morning when the news that Mrs. W. H. HEYER and Chas. JOHNSON had died during the night was learned. Two of the most respected citizens of our town had become victims of the dreaded plague of influenza within a few hours of one another, and the loss was felt by every one with sadness and regret, and sympathy for the bereaved families of the deceased.
Mrs. HEYER had been sick for ten days, and for twenty-four hours previous to her death there had not been much hope for her recovery, and the end came about two o'clock Saturday morning.
Lura McGlochlin was born in Ridgeway, Mo., December 4, 1887, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. McGLOCHLIN. She came to Eagle county with her parents when a child, and was married to Willis H. HEYER April 11, 1909. To this marriage was born three children, two of whom survive her.Besides the two little daughters, she leaves to mourn her death the husband, parents, a sister and six brothers, one of the latter being in South America at this time. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Gypsum Sunday afternoon beside that of her child who had died several years previous, a short funeral service being held at the grave.
