Ebert, Prominent in Early Days of the State, Expires in Denver. Alfred J. Ebert, son of Fred J. Ebert, one of the men most pro- minently identified with the early history of Colorado, died Fri- day evening at the home of his sister, Mrs. A. J. O'Brien, 777 Ogden Street. He was stricken with pneumonia while at one of the hotels in the city and was removed to the O'Brien home Thursday evening. Alfred Ebert was born in Denver, March 23, 1865, and has always resided in the state. He never married, but devoted his life to his ranch and to cattle raising. He was well known as a stockman and was also considered an authority on irrigation and forestry. His father was one of the best posted men on forestry in this state, and it was from him that his son acquired much of his knowledge on this subject. Following in the footsteps of his father, who was at one time a re- gent of the State University at Boulder, and also a member of the constitutional convention of the state, Ebert always took a great interest in public affairs. He made his home on a ranch north of the city in Adams County. He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. A. J. O'Brien of this city, Mrs. George A. Bass of St. Louis, and Mrs. L. M. Hall of Grand Junction. Private funeral services will be held this afternoon at the O'Brien home, 777 Ogden Street, while services to which friends are invited will be held at 3 p.m. in the chapel at Fairmount cemetery, where interment will take place. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
