DEATH OF MARTHA ROBINSON M'PHEE.
In the death of Mrs. McPHEE, wife of Judge J. C. McPHEE of Sheephorn, on May 20th, Eagle county loses one of her old time settlers.
Mrs. McPHEE was born at Maitland, Hants county, Nova Scotia, Sept. 5, 1831. She was married to J. C. McPHEE Dec. 11, 1861. Coming to Colorado in 1880, the family settled in Sheephorn country in 1883. Mrs. McPHEE is survived by her husband,J. C. McPHEE, one daughter, Mrs. John MATHER, two sons, David R. and Rowland McPHEE.
The funeral was held from the home ranch on the Sheephorn and was perhaps the largest attended funeral ever having been held in this neighborhood, a tribute to the high regard and esteem in which deceased was held.
About a year ago Mrs. McPHEE was so unfortunate as to fall and sustained a broken hip. From this injury she never recovered her strength sufficiently to enable her to walk, and she suffered a great deal of pain from the injury, from which nothing could seem to give her much relief.
Mrs. McPHEE was one of the kindest hearted women that ever lived, and all Sheephorn feel that a true friend and one of the best of neighbors has been taken from us.
