Mrs. Frank Carlson: Death Calls Home Red Cliff Pioneer, Laid to Rest.
Last Saturday morning at 5:45 o'clock occurred the death of Mrs. Frank Carlson, at her home on Water street. Mrs. Carlson was ill but a few days, death resulting from paralysis of the brain.
In this death Red Cliff loses one of its pioneers, Mr. and Mrs. Carlson having resided here since 1881. Mrs. Carlson was born in Almasbrero, Jankoping, Sweden in 1833, was married to Frank Carlson in 1874 in Sherman Texas, moving to Red Cliff Colorado in 1881. Mrs. Carlson was 77 years, 1 month and 19 days old.
The funeral took place from the Congregational Church Monday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. BROOKS in his funeral sermon dwelt on the beautiful religious life lived by the deceased which has endeared her to all who knew her. The church was unable to hold the large number of friends, both from here and in the district who came to pay their last respects to the deceased. Mrs. NORTHRUP sang three solos, "Oh Dry Those Tears," "Lead Kindly Light" and "Nearer My God to Thee." A large cortege accompanied the remains to their last resting place in Evergreen cemetery [sic. Greenwood]
The pall bearers were F. V. BURBANK, G. E. BOWLAND, Jas. SMITHERUM, A. S. LITTLE, Chas. MARSHAL, and John SMITH. Mortician GRAHAM had charge of the funeral.
The Blade joins with a host of friends in extending their sincere sympathy, to Mr. Carlson, who is one of our most respected citizens.
