Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Boland [sic.] Died at the Home of her Parents Monday.
Florence Bowland, 18 years of age, after a brief illness has gone to the "borne from which no traveler returneth." She had been ill but little over one week, suffering from derangement of the stomach which brought on a serious nervous condition. This affected her heart which at the end refused to respond to stimulants. On Sunday last the family thought she was out of danger but she became worse during the night and died at 1:30 o'clock.
Florence Bowland was born in Red Cliff on December 12th, 1890. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bowland. Of a loving and lovable disposition, she had a host of friends, both young and old. It was her rule to speak well of everyone and to listen to ill of no one. To her girl friends she was like a sister and in her home she was idolized.
Since early childhood the deceased has suffered from stomach trouble and has passed through several sever illnesses. She was taken ill at Christmas time and had apparently recovered but suffered a relapse about ten days ago. Everything that human skill could devise to prolong life was tried but to no effect. She is survived by her parents, a sister, Sue, and a brother, Edward. George. E. Bowland, father of the deceased, is probably the best known man in Eagle County, having served the county several years as County Clerk and Recorder. Himself and family have the deep sympathy of their many friends. The funeral will be held this afternoon at the church.
