ANOTHER PIONEER LADY GONE.
Mrs. E. V. HURD, one of the last of the old time '79'ers of this county, passed away at the home of her sons Harry and W. E. NOTTINGHAM at Avon Thursday morning, March 1, at the age of 79 years.The place of her nativity is Noble county, Ohio. Married to William NOTTINGHAM in Guthrie Center,Iowa, in 1875, here was born to this couple four sons, of whom three, Clyde, Harry and Emmett, are living and two daughters, Lulu and Grace, the former living in Portland,Ore.,and unable to attend the funeral services; and the latter having preceded her mother in death.
Mr. and Mrs. NOTTINGHAM moved to Colorado, first to Morrison and later to Red Cliff, in 1879, residing here until his death in 1896. Mrs. NOTTINGHAM was united in marriage to E. V. HURD in 1899, soon moving to Avon. Ernest HURD died in New York City in 1901, while there on a visit. Mrs. HURD was first stricken with paralysis in 1926, a second stroke on February 25, proving fatal.
Mrs. HURD has seen all the ups and downs of pioneering in a mining camp and a farming community. She was a kind neighbor, and indulgent mother,and has many friends who mourn her departure and joined in a last tribute to her memory. So passeth the old times. -- Holy Cross Trail
