Colorado Daily Chieftain (Pueblo, Colorado), August 7, 1884
Death of Col. W. H. Doe.
Colonel W. H. Doe, of Idaho Springs, died on the south side yesterday at 4 o'clock P. M., and the remains will be shipped east to-night to the former home of the deceased at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Masonic fraternity have charge of the funeral service here. Colonel Doe has been in poor health for several years past and has been stopping here for some time for the benefit of his health. He had great faith in the artesian well mineral baths, and had been taking them for some time previous to his death. He took a bath yesterday morning, and shortly afterward seemed to be chilled through. Every effort was made to revive him, but without effect. His wife was with him when he died, and a daughter will arrive to-day from Idaho Springs. He leaves three children, two daughters and a son. Col. Doe was one of the early settlers of Wisconsin, settling at Oshkosh many years ago. He was largely interested in lumber there. He served a number of years in the senate of that state, and was once speaker of the legislature of Colorado in territorial days. Of late years, owing to his health, he had resided a greater portion of his time in Colorado, principally at Idaho Springs, where he was largely interested in mining and was president of the First National bank of that city. His interests were very extensive in Wisconsin, he being one of the wealthiest men of that state. As a man he was well thought of throughout Wisconsin as well as Colorado, and was a public spirited man in every sense. He was a man whose loss will be keenly felt by the localities in which be lived. He leaves one of the most beautiful homes at Oshkosh, in that city, and his remains will be laid at rest where the greater portion of his busy life has been spent. He has been a member of the Masonic order since the order was first founded in Wisconsin, and was a member of the Blue lodge, Chapter and Commandery.
