MRS. GoRsnEy DEAD.
One of the Saddest Deaths That Has
Occurred in City in Years
Mother Dies i'm Giving to
Another Lifc-A Sc
we're Shock.

No death occurring in Grand juno
tion in late years has caused deeper
sorrow among relatives and close
4 friends or cast a more pronounced
spirit of gloom over the community
than the untimely and more than sad
death OF Mrs. Anna Gormley, Wife
of Arthur T. Gormley. the we'll
known Denver and Rio Grande con-
ductor.
A young mothers life is brought to
an untimely end at the hour a new
life is brought into the world and al
so at the hour when a bright little
girl of less than four years who owes
her being to this young mother is
wavering between this life and the
one whose outer confines are marked
by the grave. A more pathetic CON
dition, a clearer demonstration of the
uncertainties and sorrows of human
life could hardly be imagined.
This morning about the hour of
two O'Clock Mrs. Gormley gave birth
to a daughter and shortly after
wards although she seemed to be
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected the mother elapsed into
dead faint and the efforts of the
physicians to revive her were unavail-
ing and she passed from life about
three o'clock
The shock that this great sorrow.
this unexpected blow brought to the
husband and father was terrific in its
strength and he has the deepest SYM
pathy of the entire community.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. GormIey, |

with typhoid fever and for the past
three days her condition has been |
considered almost hopeless, yester- |
day she was very low but last night
there was a slight change for the bet /

for her.
