The remains of Mrs. Frances A. [Augusta] Pendleton reached here Xmas morning on the way from Burlington, Col., to Armstrong where they were buried yesterday. Accompanying them was her bereaved husband. On March 17th last they were married in Armstrong and soon moved to Colorado. Deceased was a daughter of Richard Horswell of Armstrong and her death was rather sudden and from a systemic poisoning from kidney disease. Her health while not very robust for some time did not denote anything of the sudden and fatal illness which came upon her and which caused death within twenty-four from the time she was taken sick.
