united In marriage to Frank R. Ross.
The young couple then moved to Col
orado, where for forty years they re
sided In the gold mining camps and
booming towns of the frontier. She
was a participant In many of the
st'rring incidents of those early days.

R. Ross, and four daughters, Mrs.
Diantha Gehvicks and Mrs. Blanche
Lewis of Uotchklss, Colo., Mrs. Ethel

danger was the bravest woman ho
ever saw.
We shall miss her hut never re
