The last sad words were spoken and the last sad rites were performed on Wednesday afternoon in Grandview Cemetery, over the mortal remains of the late Mrs. Soloman Batterson, a woman who for forty years had been a resident of Larimer County and who was known far and wide for her hospitality, kindness of heart and many excellent traits of character. For her funeral services were conducted by Elder Watson Ziegler of the Seventh Day Adventist Church at the late home of the deceased, 402 E. Oak Street, in the presence of a goodly number of old-time mourning friends who gathered there to pay their last respects to one whom in life they had learned to love and revere with sincere hearts. Many beautiful floral tributes laid upon the casket attested to loving regard in which she had been held in life, and the solemn service spoke eloquently of the sorrow that filled the hearts of the friends and relatives present.
The funeral cortege then wended its way to the city of the dead, where the body of the loved one was tenderly placed in the tomb to await the resurrection morn.
The bearers were James H. Swan, Chris Philippi, A. L. Salladin and Frank Chaffee.
Mary Lomira Fassett was a native of the state of New York, born in 1833, in the town of Hume, Alleghany County. At an early age she want with her parents to Iowa, where she was reared and given the benefit of a common school education. At the age of twenty years she was united in marriage with Solomon Batterson, who, with one daughter, Mrs. William E. Tibbetts of Livermore, survive her. Three children William, Mina, and Azuba, were born of the union. The youngest daughter, Azuba, died at Livermore in 1879, and the only son, William, passed away in this city in 1908.
Mr. and Mrs. Batterson and children came to Colorado in 1870 and located on a stock ranch situated ten miles west of Livermore, and this was their home until seven years ago, when they came to Fort Collins and built themselves a home in which to pass their declining years. As pioneers in a wild and thinly settled region, they endured many trials, hardships and privations, but with strong hearts and willing hands they preserved and a last accumulated a goodly share of this word's goods by means of which they enabled to live at ease and enjoy the fruits of their labors. Their home in the mountains was the seat of hospitality and no one was ever turned away from it unfed and uncheered. Mrs. Baterson was a kind-hearted Christian woman, a friend of the friendless, an excellent neighbor, and a devoted wife and mother. Surely a true mother in Israel has gone to her reward.
