Mrs John P. CLOHERTY (Helen) BURIED 13 June 1897 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/rioblanco/cemeteries/mrscloherty.txt Donated by Greg Berthelson  From the Meeker HERALD of 12 June 1897: "As the HERALD was going to press this morning, word reached the office of the death of Mrs. John P. Cloherty of Buford. The cause of death was uremic poisoning. Mrs. Cloherty gave birth to a baby boy last Sunday and symptoms of the dread disease appearing at once. Dr. Bruner was called in Monday and did everything possible to bring about a change, but all to no effect as the trouble had got too much start. A naturally strong constitution carried the patient to 6 o'clock yesterday when death relieved her sufferings. Mrs. Cloherty was a woman well thought of by her Buford friends and neighbors and her untimely death is a sad affair for her bereaved husband and little boy of six. The babe is in good hands and doing as well as can be expected." Scanned and archived burial record, cited with permission of Saint James' Episcopal Church, Meeker, Colorado, shows: 13 June 1897, Book 1, page 116, line 45 "blood poisoning after childbirth; buried on ranch at Buford. O. E. Ostenson, Rector." Exact location of burial site is unknown at this time. ************************************************************************************* USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons Persons or organizations desiring to use this material must obtain the written consent of the contributor or the legal representative of the submitter and contact the listed USGenWeb archivist with proof of this consent The submitter has given permission to the USGenWeb Archives to store the file permanently for free access http://wwwusgenwebarchivesorg *************************************************************************************
