Mrs. Mary Crawford KING died at her home in Steamboat Springs Friday, May 3. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia. She had been ill with the flu a year ago and since had not been robust and her resistance was lessened when she contracted her last illness.
Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at the Methodist church, with Rev. G. E. PENNELL, pastor, and Rev. R. A. DODD, pastor of the Congregational church officiating. Rachel WOOD sang, "God Understands. "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" was sung by a mixed quartet which included Rachel WOOD, Mrs. D. P. RANKIN, Lloyd PIERCE and H. H. HARTZLER. Mrs. Sanford HAILE was pianist.
Pallbearers were C. R. MONSON, Roger BUTLER, Robert NOYCE, John PAGE, H. P. HEID and M. S. WHEELER. Lovely flowers were banked high in the church and covered the casket. There were many attendants from all part of the country and some from other towns and out of the state. Many cars were in the funeral procession. Interment was in a grave beside that of her mother, the late Mrs. James H. CRAWFORD.
Surviving her are her husband, Elmer KING; a sister, Mrs. C. W. PRITCHETT of Denver; two brothers, Logan and John CRAWFORD of Steamboat Springs; three nieces, Margaret and Lulita PRITCHETT of Denver and Leola HODDLE of California; a nephew, James H. CRAWFORD of New Mexico.
Mrs. PRITCHETT came to Steamboat Springs several weeks ago to be with Mrs. KING during her last illness. Margaret PRITCHETT came for the funeral service. James CRAWFORD had planned to come from New Mexico, but he could not make satisfactory arrangements.
The floral piece contributed by the CRAWFORD family was a pillow bearing the word "Mary."
Mary Beulah CRAWFORD was born in Boulder, Colo., March 27, 1882, daughter of the founders of Steamboat Springs, Mr. and Mrs. James CRAWFORD. The CRAWFORDs had gone to Boulder for the schooling of the other children. They returned to Steamboat Springs in the spring of 1883, with the new baby.
Mary went to school in Steamboat Springs and was a member of the first class to be graduated from the local high school. She remained with her parents at their home and accompanied them on their travels which included New Mexico, New York, and other eastern states. Washington D. C., and Hawaii. She was a faithful and devoted daughter, giving her time with pleasure to the comfort and companionship of her parents.
Mary CRAWFORD and Elmer KING were married on June 9, 1929. They had known each other since childhood. His home, when they were all small, was at Toponas. He, as was his wife, is practically a native of Routt county, coming at the age of three from Breckenridge.
Mary Crawford KING was charming in appearance and in personality. She had beautiful hair of reddish tint and the lovely complexion that accompanies it. Her outstanding characteristic was her ability to see beauty in everything. She was fond of children and flowers. Almost daily there would be a number of children in her flower garden looking at the blossoms and listening eagerly to Mary talk about them.
To describe her in the routine manner is impossible, because Mary Crawford KING was individual, her characteristics were her own. Always cheerful and happy, she did much to lighten the burdens of others by lifting their thoughts into brighter channels. She and her husband enjoyed a close companionship, the same pleasures were theirs together. In his estimation Mary cannot be too highly praised.
She was greatly interested in the Routt-Moffat Pioneer association and for many years acted as secretary or historian. The homage paid to her father and mother at these gatherings pleased her. She worked faithfully in preparing pioneer history for the society, especially did she delight in the reminiscenses of her parents.
Mary was a pioneer, starting in babyhood. She had a homestead at the head of Soda creek where she often entertained her friends. Her graciousness as a hostess was outstanding. She was the type of girl and woman who found happiness and thrills in her surroundings, in the people whom she met, in her flowers and in her home.
