MR. CHARLES EGGS HAS PASSED ON
On last Tuesday morning a little after 8 o'clock Charles Eggs, another of the pioneer residents of Green River, closed his eyes in death, after an illness of two days, although he had been ailing for about two years. The deceased was born in the city of Renchen, State of Baden, Germany, September 22, 1848, twenty years latter [sic] came to America settling in St. Louis, Mo., where until 1886 he was engaged in the retail shoe business, coming to Green River in the early part of 1886 and purchased the Big Horn Hotel, then the leading hotel of Green River, which he conducted for several years. Besides conducting the hotel he also opened the first retail shoe store in this city, which business he conducted until his death.
Charles Eggs was a very energetic type of man, and every day of his life he was always found at his chosen profession, and had by his efforts, from a small start in life, built up a
good business, and at his death was the owner cf several splendid pieces of GreenRiver property. He was a man who did not take much interest in social affairs, yet was known throughout the county as an energetic, staple [sic] business man, and his passing will be mourned by many, especially those, who with him experienced the pioneer life of this section.
He leaves a widow, Mrs. Carolina Eggs, three daughters, Mrs. E. A. Gaensslen, Miss Carolina M. Eggs, and Mrs. Geo. L. Harris, all of this city, to whom is extended the heartfelt sympathy of all in the hour of their sorrow.
The funeral was held from the local Catholic church yesterday morning, Father Walsh, in the absence of Father Schillinger, conducting the service, which was very impressive, while the choir sang selections that were favorites of the deceased, lending much to the solemnity cf the sad occasion.
The remains were bourn to Riverview cemetery in the beautiful auto hearse of the Frank P. Rogan Undertaking Parlors of Rock Springs, and were followedby a long line of autos carrying relatives and friends of the deceased, where they were tenderly laid to rest in the bosom of mother earth.
The pall bearers were H. Franklin, Hugo Gaensslen, F. J. Lenhart, Leo Viox, S. Dankowski and Frank Grumer, pioneer friends of the departed one.
