DIED OF PULMONARY TUBER-
CCLOSIS SATURDAY MORNING

Miss Abigail Sullivan died at 715
Allison avenue on Saturday morning
of pulmonary tuberculosis, after
lingering illness, aged 2s years, 9
months and IL days. Deceased came
here with her sister, Miss Julia Sulli-
van, from Kansas City, Missouri, about
two months ago for the benefit of her
health, which had been in failing con-
dition for some time. The change of
environment did not have the hoped
for effect and she became gradually
worse until death came to her relief.
Her condition was such on arrival
here that no physical surroundings,
however exhilarating, could arrest the
progress of the disease which had fas-
tened itself upon her.
A few days ago, when it was known
that she could live but a short time,
the members of her family were sum-
moned to her bedside and her two
brothers, three sisters and brother-in-
law were with her when the end came.
One of her brothers, ]. d. Sullivan,
is general roadmaster of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad COM
pany, and under his direction the body
was taken to the family home at Des
Moines, Iowa, for burial.
The funeral party left here on the
Denver & Rio Grande train No. 1 at
O'Clock this afternoon. The obse-
quies will be held at Des Moines.

monary tuberculosis, aged 81 years, 4

husband and two children came to

| the benefit of her health, which had
been failing for several months. They
had only been living in the house,
where Mrs. Lieurance died, five days.
They came to Colorado about six
weeks or two months ago on the ad-
vice of the family physician, who ex-
pressed the opinion that Mrs. Lieur-
ance might be benefited by the change.
They stopped for a short time in La
Junta and Colorado Springs before
coming here, but neither of them
seemed as well adapted to their re-
Quirements as Canon City.
The remains were taken to C. H.
Wnitmore's undertaking establishment
where they were prepared for burial
| pending their shipment to the old
home at Kincaid, Kansas, where they
