Died - In Denver, Colorado, on the 26th day of August, 1885, C. W. Gamber, aged 23 years.
The subject of the above notice was a son of our fellow townsman, Mr. W. S. Gamber, who moved from Iowa to Nebraska in April 1884 in the vain hope that his son would regain his health, but the Nebraska climate did not have the desired effect, and in June last, he went to Colorado, accompanied by his wife and mother, but the dread disease, Consumption, had taken such a firm hold on his constitution, that their cherished hope was doomed to disappointment, and a mother's love and a wife's devotion was his in the fullest sense of the term, but even that could not save him, and on the 26th day of August his spirit was called unto God, who gave it.
Mrs. W. S. Gamber, his mother, is expected home today, and his wife will be home in a few days.
