SHOCKING TRAGEDY. Well Known Eagle County Family In a Denver Sensation.
On last Saturday the lifeless bodies of Miss Grace NOTTINGHAM and Harry ADLER were found in a room of a Denver hotel. The couple had been married but at the time of the tragedy were divorced. In both cases death was the result of pistol wounds.
The theory of the Denver police, borne out by all the circumstances and notes written by the man, is that ADLER murdered the woman and then killed himself. Although the tragedy was not discovered until Saturday it is evident that it occurred on the Thursday previous.
Miss NOTTINGHAM grew up in this county, being a daughter of the late W. H. NOTTINGHAM, and of Mrs. Angeline HURD. Beside her mother, a sister and three brothers survive her.
A few years ago she was married to Harry ADLER at Los Angeles, California. The marriage proved an unhappy one and some time later Mrs. ADLER secured a divorce, resuming her maiden name. Several reconciliations had been attempted, and it is evident that one was in progress at the time the tragedy was committed.
The remains of Miss NOTTINGHAM, accompanied by the members of her immediate family and other relatives, was brought to Red Cliff on Monday evening from Denver. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Congregational church, Rev.L. D. JARRARD, of Minturn, conducting the services. The obsequies were largely attended by old friends and neighbors, many of those present being among the younger people who were playmates of deceased during her childhood in Red Cliff and Gilman. Interment was at Greenwood cemetery, where the remains of deceased's late father rests.
Miss NOTTINGHAM was 25 years of age at the time of her death. She possessed remarkable beauty, and many intimate friends of the family testify to the lovable and patient attributes of her nature. She was indeed the favorite of her own family, and the people of her old home, with commendable fidelity, did honor to her memory at the last service about the silent bier.
