-HE death of Cleo /. Hobson, n
member of the youthful side of
u our community, casts gloom
upon not only her immediate circle of
the young, but removes from our
midst IA worthy, useful citizen, whose
activities stretched far beyond the con-
fines of youth, and whose usefulness
left us standard In the beauty OF
service" which will never be effaced
from our memory. The deceased, the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
ii. Hobson, 2352 Glenarm place, after
brief illness of nearly three weeks
from an attack of paralysis, joined the
Great Majority Friday evening, Janu-
airy 9TH, having attained the age OF ~
years and 20 days. Born in Denver,
December Is, 1900, she received her
education in the graded and high
schools, graduating from the East Den
yer High last June. She studied mu-
sic under Miss Bell d'Autremont, head
of the d'Autremont School of Music, Il
long established institution of merit in
our city, and was elected pianist of
her class, being highly commended for
her contribution To the program of
Glass Day exercises Immediately pre-
ceding graduation. She became
member of the Peoples Presbyterian
church mt the age of IL, and was ii
faithful jealous worker, occupying for
years the positions of organist and
Sunday school teacher Though young,
she was actively engaged in mission
AIRY work, taking Il part on several oc-
casionS with the science department
of the Woman's Club (white), in the
Sunday concerts at the county Jail and
other places where her services were
donated. She was member of the
Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Young
WOmen's Christian Association and
made a profound impression ON all her
associates by her genial and affable
disposition. Miss HObson performed
at many concerts of the leading white
Presbyterian churches and was cred
tied as being very talented. Being en-
Outraged to pursue her musical stud
les, she began arrangements for her
admission into the New England Con
servatOry, Boston, Mass. She won the
respect of the community, which was
evidenced by the very large attend
ance at the funeral ceremonies held
at the Peoples Presbyterian church
last Wednesday afternoon, in which
the pastor, Rev. j. y. Thos. HaZell,
assisted by Revs. Thomas, Rahming,
over and Secretary Bell of the y. NJ.
G. A. paid fitting tributes TO the mem
Dry of the deceased.
The floral offerings were numerous,
rare and beautiful, and the number of
kilograms and letters of coincidence
from California, Chicago. Kansas City
where the deceased had many fela-
tives and friends, also numerous sym
pathetic messages. Resolutions from
va rinnS nrnuuiZu films nf piII' city some
of which were read during the cere-
mony, these bore testimony to the
splendid life and character of the de-
parted loved one. The choir turned
out in full TO pay their last respects,
and the pallbearers, consisting of the
companions of her youth, namely,
William Pagan. Jas. Russell, Samuel
Russell, Arnold Caldwell, Charles
Hughes and Theodore White, bore her
remains, under the direction of Curtis |
Nj. Harris, funeral director of the
CANNED & Co Undertaking Company, |
to their last resting place in the fam /
lily lot in Paramount cemetery. Thus |
ends the career of one of our dear |
loved ones, whose loss to us is Heav- |
ems gain. GOD BLESS TO Us HER |
The Colorado Statesman offers its
sincere coincidence to the bereaNed |
family, and commits them to the care
and consolation of Him Who will
bring light out of darkness and joy
out of sorrow, giving them fortitude
to bear the burden of this irretI'iev-
able loss to them and our community.
