Sudden Death of E. K. La Barthe
Woman Prominent in Public and Social Life in This State Passes to Great Beyond
Mrs. Eurithe K. La Barthe died suddenly at Whitehead on south State street yesterday at noon. With the passing of Mrs. La. Barthe, Salt Lake loses one of its foremost women. In 1896 she was elected to the first state legislature, which position she filled with ability, introducing the bill compelling the women to remove their hats in theaters and public places of amusement. At the time of her election to the legislature she was president of the Ladies' Literary club. Mrs. La Barthe was the wife of Jules La Barthe, an official of the Globe Express company at Denver, and was connected with the company while in Salt Lake. She came to Salt Lake about 15 years ago from Peoria, Ill., and soon became a leader in social and literary circles of the city. Mrs. La Barthe moved to Denver a few years ago and has been identified with club work there. She had been treasurer of the Women's club of that city, an organization of over 1,000 members, and had also served on the committee of finance.
At the time of her death she was 65 years old, and had come to Salt Lake Wednesday, Nov. 16, to visit her son, Jules La Barthe, Jr., who is superintendent of construction of smelters for the Mason Valley Mining company, at Mason, Utah. Upon arriving in the city she complained of a slight cold, which had a tendency toward la grippe. Not thinking it serious, she paid little attention to it. Her son, who had been here with her, returned Sunday to Mason. Symptoms not unlike those of la grippe began to develop Monday. Tuesday morning her condition was so bad that Dr. C. G. Plummer was summoned, and two hours after the doctor's arrival her condition was pronounced critical. Dr. T. B. Beatty was called in consultation and it was found that pulmonary edema had developed, and efforts to save her life were hopeless. Her husband and son were notified of her death by telegraph and will be here to make the funeral arrangements.
Mrs. La Barthe was here on a visit last spring, and learning of plans for a new club house which was to be built for the Ladies' Literary club, she gave an inspiring talk in regard to financing the matter. Her death was a profound shock to her many friends in this city, some of whom were not even aware that she was in the city.

Mrs. Eurithe K. La Barthe Succumbs to Severe Attack of Pneumonia.
Was Member of First Utah State Legislature
Author of "High Hat" Law and Prominent in Literary Circles
Mrs. Eurithe K. La Barthe, one of Utah's first women lawmakers, and woman of note in many ways, died Tuesday, after a brief illness at the Whitehall in this city. Mrs. La Barthe arrived in Salt Lake last Wednesday from her home in Denver, and although in failing health was not thought to be seriously ill. She had overworked in the management of a large charity bazaar in her home city, and when she reached here was tired out. An attack of la grippe followed, which developed into pneumonia, and resulted in her death at 12:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The death of Mrs. La Barthe removes from active life one of the most interesting women whom Salt Lake has had among its residents. Coming here about fifteen years ago from Peoria, Ill., Mrs. La Barthe rapidly became a leader in the social and literary life of the city, and in 1896 was elected president of the Ladies' Literary club. It was under her management that the movement was begun which resulted in the building of the present clubhouse, and under her able management the matter was put through.
The same year Mrs. La Barthe was elected a member of the first state legislature, an office which she filled with great credit to herself and which resulted in much good in the matter of educational laws. It was during this session that Mrs. La Barthe introduced the law regulating the wearing of hats in theaters and places of amusement, and to her belongs the credit of starting a movement which has since spread throughout the country.
For some years past Mrs. La Barthe had made her home in Denver, and there, too, her work has been a very valuable kind. She had been treasuerer of the Woman's club of that city, an organization of more than a thousand women, and had served for some years as chairman of the finance committee. When she was here on a visit last spring she was told of the plans, then only begun, for a new and larger clubhouse for the Ladie's Literary club, and on that occasion she gave an inspiring talk in regard to financing the matter.
