Died in Colorado
The funeral of Mrs. Caldwell, the mother of Mrs. Ed. Borts, of near Mingo, was held Saturday afternoon at half past three and the interment made in Ashton cemetery. Mrs. Caldwell’s husband died many years ago and for some time she has been making her home in the vicinity of Mingo. About two years ago she went to Colorado where she has since resided with her daughter, Mrs. Will Morrison at Denver. Her death occurred at that place from paralysis of the throat and the remains were brought back to Mingo. She was sick only a short time. Rev. Williams of Mingo had charge of the funeral.
