Death of J. E. O'Driscoll
DIED-Monday morning, Aug. 20, of typhoid-pneumonia, John Edward O'Driscoll.
Few knew that Ed was ill; yet for five long weeks he laid in a bed of sickness fighting the battle, watched over by anxious wife and father. He met the end as he had faced the danger that resulted in the fatal illness-bravely and well.
Ed was interested with his father in the Sylvanite mine at Bear creek, and last April, during one of the heaviest storms for many years, started from this place on snowshoes with provisions for the men at the mine. He was unfortunate enough to become lost on the range and was forced to walk in a circle for several hours to prevent freezing to death. He never full recovered from the exposure and hardships of that trip. and in his weakened system was finally developed the dread typhoid.
John Edward O'Driscoll was 39 years of age, having been born at Doniphan, Kansas, in 1861. He came to Silverton with his parents in 1881 and has resided here continuously ever since. He was married about ten years ago to Miss Lyla Krebs and she, together with three young boys, the eldest an adopted child, survives him. The other near relatives are the father, Hon. B. O'Driscoll of this city; his brothers, Florence of Durango and Will of Silverton, and a sister, Mrs. John Gray of Hermosa.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Catholic church, Father O'Rourke preaching a touching and eloquent sermon, and interment hadbesided the deceased's mother in the Catholic portion of the Silverton cemetery. A large concourse of friends followed the sad cortege to thatt last mortal resting place on the hillside.
The bereaved relatives have the deep sympathy of the entire community. And, too, there is consolation in His promise, "for who that leans on His strong arm was ever yet forsaken"-Silverton Miner.
