The Elk Mountain pilot., 1921-03-17

Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Doering were
Wednesday of the tragic death of an
old-time and very dear friend, Mrs
Winnie Comstock of Creede, who per-
ished in the wooden sleeper that
burned early Tuesday morning be-
tween Pueblo and Walsenburg. Ger
tain of the older residents of this
section may recall the unfortunate
lady as Mrs. Herbert LeZotte, who
came as a bride with her husband
| from Nebraska to Monarch in the
early nineties. A sad feature of the
incident is that a little posthumous
son of four, youngest of line family
of splendid children of the first mar
riage, is left to learn the sorrow of
his bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. Doer-
ing were married at Mrs LeZotte's
home in, Creede, in 1896, and her ter
rible death has saddered than greatly.
