Carr W. Pritchett, 79, known in mining circles thruout two continents and with many friends in Routt county, passed away at his home, 2735 Federal Boulevard, Denver, on Tuesday, February 2. He suffered a stroke the week previously.

Here he met Miss Lulie Crawford, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Crawford, founders of Steamboat Springs. They were married here on October 18, 1892. Last October they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in their Denver home and were the recipient of presents and good wishes from scores of friends in all parts of the country.
Mr. Pritchett was long in the Coeur d'Alene district in Idaho, and in the employ of the Guggenheims and other large mining interests visited Alaska, Canada, Mexico and South America. More recently he has been consulting engineer for various large mining interests.

Mr. Pritchett is survived by his wife and two daughters, Lulita and Margaret. Miss Lulita has written many short stories and a few years ago published a book, "The Shining Mountains," which was a record of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Crawford, and their journey to and settlement of Steamboat Springs.
