years Of age. whose wife died recently,
and who was so grief-stricken that he

failure. He was seen walking along

well be dead. He was persuaded not
to attempt suicide.
Mrs. R F. Johnson had $4,000 in the
bank and is nearly crazed over her
loss. There are hundred other cases.
and the amounts range from $500 to
81 1000.

HUSBAND FOUNDED GREELEY

Her Long and interesting Career
Terrible Experience at the TIrns
Of the Mssker Massacre by White
River Utes.
Denver.-A Republican special from
White Plains. New York. states that
Mrs. Arvilla ID. Meeker. widow Of the
late n. C. Meeker. died there yester-
day from senility, aged ninety years.
Mrs. Arvilla ID. Meeker. the widow of
Nathan Cooke Meeker. founder OF
Greeley colony, was a woman of
strong personality and had . wonder,
ful career. In early life she taught
school in New England and then be-
came acquainted with the young poet
and dreamer. who later founded col
/ Ony in the then far West and who sac.
rificed his life to his convictions re-
garding the civilization OF the Indian
Mrs. Meeker and daughter were with
him when he was butchered by the
Utes at the White River agency Sep.
tember 20. 1879. known to history as
the ''Meeker massacre" Mrs. Meeker
was slightly wounded in the ARRAY and
held u prisoner by the Indians for
three weeks
About the time MIR. and Mrs. Meeker
were married they became interested
In the organization of communities
which we're p,rposed to carry out some
Of the theories of the French Socialist,
Fourier, and which were supported by
such men as Emerson, Hawthorne and
Greeley. The Brook Farm Phalanx"
became the best known of these organi-
cations.
The Meekers joined one at Warren.
Ohio. which was dissolved in three
years.
They afterward lived in Cleveland,
Ohio. and in southern Illinois.
When the war broke out the Meeker
family We're subjected to great indlg-
mites from their neighbors who were
nearly all secessionists.
During these early years Mr.. Meekcr
wrote, which he did with SO much sue
cess. That in 1869 he was made agricul-
tural editor of the New York Tribune.
through whose columns he unfolded his
plan for establishing Union colony ON
the banks of the Poudre river.
In 1870 the colony was established
and the town Of Greeley located, t.
which Mrs. Meeker and her family
came during the first year as soon as
their home could be built, in whicn
they have since lived.
In 1878 Mr., Meeker. who had always
had great faith in the Indians. believ-
ing that they could be taught to pursue
an industrial life, left Greeley with his
family for the White River Indian
agency, 800 miles away, to civilize the
Indians and act as government agent
to the Ute Indians there.
The story Of the subsequent massa-
ere of Mr. Meeker and the employees of
the agency by the Indians under the
control Of Chief Douglas and Captain
Jack and the captivity of Mrs. Meescr
and her daughter, Josie. are part of
the history of the country.
Mrs. Meeker leaves a son, Ralph
Meeker. who has been for long time
on the editorial staff of the New York
Tribune, and daughter, Miss Rozene
Meeker. who resides at Greeley and
who inherits the old homestead.
