PAUL HAHNEWALD DIES.
Word was received Saturday morning, November 6, by Martin EICHLER of Edwards of the death of his uncle, Paul HAHNEWALD in Denver.
Mr. HAHNEWALD spent some weeks the latter part of the summer with Charley HEMBERGER at the ranch on Cooley mesa. Three or four weeks ago he went to the home of his brother, Otto HAHNEWALD, county commissioner of Garfield county, in Rifle for a visit. He returned to Denver recently and passed away at 7:30 o'clock Saturday morning.
Mr. HAHNEWALD came to Aspen as a raw, immigrant boy from Switzerland in the early days of the camp, and joined with his brothers, here ahead of him, in the bakery business at that place and in Leadville. He made a fortune from the Leadville mines, and later lost it in the Hereford cattle breeding business at Eagle. His last few years had been spent in trying to repair his lost fortunes, but the "luck" which he characterized as being responsible for past successes had failed him and nothing would turn out right for him any more.
Paul HAHNEWALD was greatly beloved by many people and his death is regretted. He was not an old man, in his early sixties, but disappointment at the failure of business ventures hastened his end. Burial took place in Denver Tuesday.
