1t will be five years next fall, since
delightful farewell reception was
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
X. Lynde, to the family of the late
Barney D. Flint, on the eve of their
departure to Oregon for their expected
future hume. Mr.. Flint had decided
upon this change from here for at
| least one important reason, namely,
| his wife's inherited tendency to coL-
sumption, the winters here having
proven too severe for her. Mr.. and
Mrs. Flint had not reached the prime
of life then, and their great useful
ness here caused much sorrow at their
| going away, although it was matter
of course that they would take up the
same useful lives they were living
] here, wherever they might go. Mr..
Flint was greatly pleased with Color
ado, as he went through it on his way
to Oregon, having stopped at Denver
for short visit with former towns
| folk. After living in Oregon little
less than three years he decided to re-
turn to Colorado for his home. He
had barely reached Colorado when he
sickened and died suddenly, and was
brought here for burial. Less than
two years elapsed before his only
daughter, whom we remembered here
so pleasantly, died and was brought
back here SO recently. And so people
here are now asking if it was not a
great mistake that the family ever
went away from us, Granted the pre-
misses on which Mr.. Flint shaped his
life, we expect, some day to see that
Sin the long rum" it was no mistake.
