She also lived there several years following her marriage, the couple moving to Arapahoe in 1905, and with the exception of two years at Yuma, Colo., and two more at Heartwell, had maintained their residence here. The couple observed their 64th wedding anniversary on September 14, 1951.
Immediate survivors are two sons, Harvey of Holbrook, and Elbert of Alta Loma, Calif., and two daughters, Mrs. George Honeyman of Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. Ray Gonzales of Denver, Colo.
