Myrtle Bates Farrow
Again it becomes our unpleasant and painful duty to record the death of a noble woman, a good wife and mother. One born and reared in this community, and one who seemingly enjoyed her usual health up to within a few days of her going. And more sad because she was still of tender years and leaves children who are in need of a fond mother's loving care.
Myrtle Bates Farrow was born near Bayfield, Colorado, on October 6, 1882, and died at Piedra twenty miles east, at three o'clock Sunday morning, June 3, 1912, attaining the age of 30 years, 8 months, and 2 days. Funeral services were conducted in the Bayfield Presbyterian church on Monday afternoon by Rev. C.B. Campbell, and interment was in the Bayfield cemetery immediately afterwards. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
In May, 1904, Myrtle Bates and Rocky M. Farrow were joined in matrimony and they lived a happy life until parted by the grim reaper. To them were born a son and a daughter, the youngest being six years old. There is also a son by a former marriage. Besided the husband and children there remains to mourn her going the mother, four sisters and three brothers, all residing near here excepting Mrs. Gates of Washington, who could not reach here in time for the funeral. There are also many other relatives of the deceased residing in this valley. Her father, one sister and one brother had preceeded her.
Mrs. Farrow was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Bates, among the very first settlers, while the bereaved husband is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Mason Farrow (deceased) who were the second family to settle on the Piedra.
Mrs. Farrow was out riding only the Sunday before her death, her illness being of less than a week's duration. Physicians pronounced her malady appendicitis and heart trouble. At the bedside when the end came were the husband, mother, three sisters, and one brother/
An evidence of the high esteen in which the lady was held was the outpouring af all the neighbors who followed the sorrowing relatives to Bayfield to attend the last sad rites. Deep sympathy goes out to those so sorely bereaved.
