DEATH OF ELMER MITCHELL.
The death of Elmer MITCHELL at his home in Eagle last Thursday evening, was so unexpected to friends in town, as well as his immediate family that it was a great shock as well as surprise.
Mr. MITCHELL had not been in good health this summer, but at no time thought to be seriously ill, and had followed his work with the county road grader steadily. Wednesday he complained of indigestion and Doctors RUCKER and BRYSON both treated him when Thursday afternoon his condition became serious and death came suddenly and with little warning.
Joseph Elmer MITCHELL was born in the state of Missouri July 31,1879, and died at Eagle,Colo., August 16,1928,at the age of 49 years, 16 days. He lived his young manhood in Oklahoma and July 14,1907, he married Miss Georgia Maud HALSELL, in that state. Several years ago he and his wife moved to Eagle county and have since that this their home. For a number of years he served the town of Eagle as marshal and superintendent of the town water works. For the past three years he has been employed by the county to run the tractor on the big road outfit.
Besides his wife, the deceased leaves a father, four sisters, four brothers, all living in Oklahoma, a niece and nephew, Grace EDGE and Barcus BUTLER, who made their home with their uncle and aunt in Eagle, and a large following of friends to mourn his death. He was a member of Crown Lodge No. 146, I.O.O.F., and as a brother of that fraternity and a member of the community he will always be remembered as an industrious citizen, sincere and devoted to home and friends.
