EMMET SHAW GOULD DIES AT LONG BEACH
Emmet Shaw Gould, one of Aspen s oldest and most loyal pioneers, died at his home in Long Beach, California, August 30, 1949. Funeral services were held at the Wee Kirk of the Heather, in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California, on September 1st. Acting as pallbearers were Donald Young, Tim Sullivan, Wilbur Firestone and three greatnephews, Donald Grover, Bernard Grover and George Grover. Mr. Gould was born in Lockport, New York, in 1864. He came to Aspen when a young man and went into business there, at that time being part owner of the Gould and Grover store. Later he promoted the development of the Midnight Mine and served as its president for many years.
In 1890 he met and married Mary McVey. To this union were born four children: Charles, who died in infancy, arid three daughters: Helen Collins and Dorothy Tidwell of Long Beach, California, and Edna Williams of Lynwood, all of whom were with him at the time of his death. He is also survived by five grandchildren and one great-grandchild and many nieces and nephews. Mr. Gould loved Aspen and always called it home even though circumstances forced him to live elsewhere at times. He was proud of its growth and prosperity when it was a flourishing mining town, and all through the years he showed by many acts that he never lost his affection for it or his faith in its future. He will be missed and mourned by many in this community. (Aspen Daily Times, September 8, 1949)
