Another of the pioneers of Eagle passed away Saturday, December 31, when Mrs. Catherine FLYNN died at her home in Glenwood Springs after an illness of only a few days with pneumonia.
The deceased was a native of Ireland, where she was born August 21,1866. She came to the United States when only a young girl, and was married in this country. In 1889 or 1890,she and her husband came to Eagle and their first child, their daughter, Nora, was the first child to be born in Eagle in 1890. A son, William, was also born to them while residing in Eagle. Later the family moved to Kent where they resided a great many years,and it was while living there Mrs. FLYNN reared her family, and where Mr. FLYNN died many years ago. Surviving the deceased are two daughters, Mrs. Katie GILL of Los Angeles, Calif., and Nora FLYNN of Glenwood Springs, Colo.; four sons, William and Dan, employed by the D. & R. G. W. railroad at Minturn; John, living at Malta; and James of Glenwood Springs.
Mrs. FLYNN was a most lovable woman, a devoted mother, and a good neighbor. During her years in this county, she was noted for her acts of charitable kindness and among the railroad men on the Rio Grande in the earlier days she was looked upon almost as a mother to each and everyone of them. Left with her family of six young children to rear Mrs.FLYNN held the family together, saw that they received an education and prepared them to make their battle with life.
About ten years ago the deceased moved to Glenwood Springs, where she has since made her home with her daughter, Nora.
