mrs. NARY C. LARSEN

At her home in Case neighborhood,
and surrounded by all her children, Mrs.
Larsen passed to her longed for rest on
Monday, April 81, 1914, at $50 a. M,
aged 80 years, 3 months and 81 days:
Mary Christian Nicholson was born in
Denmark, January 6, 1855. She was the
third child in family of four boys and
two girls, two of whom survive her.
She came to this country in the early
part of 1880, living first at Grand Island,
Nebraska, coming to Colorado in No
vember of that year, stopping first in
Castle Rock, where she and Mr.. Larsen
were married on November 25, 1880.
They made their new home at Hill Top
until 1885, when they came to their pres
ent home.
Mr.. Larsen proceeded her to the
Heavenly home, leaving us on February
10, 1913.
Seven children we're born to them.
The eldest, daughter, died in infancy.
Six survive, three of whom are carried.
and all reside in this vicinity.
In Mrs. Larsen's passing, not Case
only, but the Divide country also has
lost a friend. Perhaps few were as
widely known and at no home was the
traveller, whether stranger or acquaint-
ance, made more welcome.
Mrs. Larsen's unselfish, cheerful serv-
ice in her care of our telephone switch
was appreciated by all, and we regret
that many times she went beyond her
strength in serving us.
For many months she had been
great sufferer. Trips to Pueblo and
Denver under the care Of specialists were
undertaken in the hope that she could
be saved pain and spared to years OF
usefulness and happiness.
Trained nurses, with her children,
neighbors and friends ministered to her
wants, and though hopes of cure was
abandoned no labor or expense was too
great to be undertaken to give her relief.
An impressive funeral service was
held at her home on Wednesday, at 1870
a. m, by the Rev. Axton, and notwith-
standing the stormy day many neighbors
and friends attended and followed the
remains to their last resting place in the
Ebert cemetery. The floral offerings
were very beautiful.

Fondis precinct has been without a
justice Of the peace for several months.
The county commissioners had recon-
mendation sent to them about six months
ago and we would ask those gentleman
il they consider it fair to neglect their
duty? OF course we are all peaceable
citizens, but we are entitled to two JUS
tees and ought to have one at least.
iGent'emen, don't be partial, Fondis is
