The Glenwood post., 1909-01-30
LAST OF BODlES
TAKEN FROM CITY

Two caskets on truck at the d. 4
r. G. depot Monday night held the re-
mains of the last of the Dotsero wreck
victims to be taken from this city. The
bodies were those of L. ]. Ezell and
were being shipped to the old home in
Sedalia, Mo-, where they will be laid in
their last resting place by the son, B. L.
Ezell, of Willeston, N. D., who accom-
panied them.
Pretty little seven year-old Margaret
Ezell, who was injured in the wreck,
Glenwood sanitarium, was also at the
depot to be carried to Missouri. 1t
may be her childish eyes saw the two
boxes in which the caskets were placed,
but if so they could have aroused no
more than child IS interest as to the
contents. Orphaned as she was by the
terrible catastrophe, she was still ignor-
ant of the awful fate of her loving par
ents. Often while in the sanitarium
she would ask her brother and two
cousins, who came from Nevada,
where are papa and mammal But
| with the pretty innocent face turned UP
| TO them, their hearts melted and with
an evasive answer, that she took as the
ruth, the three men as well as the
nurse would turn away to hide the
Gears that forced their way to their
| eyes.
1.-The time will come when we must
| tell her the trutn,'' said her brother
and cousins, but it is hard to tell her
now." The little sufferer was patient
throughout her trying ordeal, and
obeying the nurse she was rapidly gain
ing her health when she left here for
the east.
ID. +. Robinson of Denver, who sus
tanned injuries to his spine, was taken
to Cheyenne Sunday by an aunt, Mrs.
Heney, Thomas Cadwallader of Joliet,
ILL.,, another OF the injured left Mon
day for Sal. Lake H. b. Schuler, the
chief of police of Covington, KY, and
his deputy j. S. Martin, both of who
received serious, but not fatal injuries
are still in the city, and, it is believed,
will be confined to the sanitariumfor
some time.

To the People of Glenwood Springs

that has been done by the good people
of Glenwood Springs to minister to the

care, should take this more tangible
means of expressing for myself and for
my brother and sisters our deepest ap-
probation for what you have SO willing
ly and unselfishly performed in our be-
half

spirit of the entire populace, and so to

hope that in the final reckoning the at
tention of the Great Ruler on High will
be specially called to that bright page
in the section of the Great Book deyot
ed to this world s good deeds and upon
which is stamped in letters Of gold an
indellible impression of the kindly acts
