Minnie Hockett, child of B. N. and Emily HOCKETT, was born May 14th, 1871, near Cedarvale, Kansas, and died at Gypsum, Colorado, August 11th, 1908.
At an early age she removed with her parents to Eagle county, when they established their home at Gypsum in 1883.
She was married to J. E. BORAH, in 1891. They made Gypsum their home and none but those intimately associated know the loss and aching hearts in the home so lately cheered by her loving words. Her cheery and gracious ways won her friends wherever she went.
She leaves a husband and two sons, a father, four brothers, one sister and numerous friends to mourn her loss.
Sh was ill but a few days and bore her suffering with calmness. All was done that skill and loving hands could do, but death claimed her for his own.
The funeral was held at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, interment being in Gypsum cemetery, Rev. Ross officiating.
