death of Mrs. Judge caused much sor-
row in the hearts of all who knew her

that which she gave, was given without
the knowledge of the world. She was
the first and largest contributor toward
the erection of the magnificent Catholic
cathedral of st. Mary MagdaIen. To-
ward the completion of this edifice she
subscribed total of ST. 1000 Further
more, Mrs. Judge caused to be built the
Judge Miners home. great structure
which occupies the block bounded on
the north by Sixth South, on the east
by Eleventh East, on the south by Sew
enth South and on the west by Tenth
East. The purpose of this building was
to afford a home for aged miners. In
addition to the home there was to have
been hospital. The building was
never furnished nor occupied It was
transferred to the Right Rev. Bishop
Seaman of the Catholic diocese of Salt
Lake, and by him is held in trust. Bish-
op Seaman holds the hope that soon
one or more of the wealthy men of the
community, especially those who have
acquired their fortunes through mining
operations, will endow the institution. |
Should this be done, it will bring to a
realization the cherished hope of Mrs. |
Judge.
AT the time of the appeal made by |
the Young Mems Christian association |
for succor, Mrs. Judge was one of the |
heaviest subscribers to the fund. She |
wrote her check for the benefit of this
institution for $4,000. She also sup
piled a number of beautiful windows
