Members OF the family who were
summoned several days ago were az
his bedside when the end came. me

barely in time to be recognized by the
dying pioneer, who lapsed into uncoh-
seriousness for several Lours preceding
the end, which came quietly as though
the patient were sleeping.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily home and was attended by people
from all parts OF the state.
Governor Brush was closely identi-
fled with the history OF northern Colo
radc, where he lived the greater part

his life In the West by mining in Rus
sell gulch. Later he freighted across
the plains and gradually drifted INTO
cattle raising and farming. The town
