DEATH OF BETHENE HUNTLEY
Dies near Thornton, Buried in Colfax Cemetery
Bethene Huntley, aged 16 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Huntley, who live on a farm near Thornton, died Tuesday night from a complication of causes. The young lady first had scarlet fever, which settled in a decayed tooth, when blood poisoning set in, resulting in death.
Miss Huntley was born up on the farmstead where she died and was beloved by all who knew her. The remains were brought to Colfox for burial on the 11 o'clock Inland train yesterday, to be interred in the family plot in Colfax Cemetery.
Funeral services were held at the home near Thornton, so the remains were taken direct to the cemetery on arrival of the train here. As showing the respect and feeling with which she was held the schools at Thornton were closed yesterday and many came on the train to pay the last debt of gratitude at the grave. Mr. and Mrs. Huntley and the many relatives of Bethene have the sympathy of all.
