(The Pagosa Springs Sun August 5, 1949)
Ida Rosetta Born, a resident of this community since the year 1900 passed away Tuesday afternoon at her home, that beautiful spot we allknow as "Born's Lake." The former Ida Rosetta Dillabaugh was born at Montague Michigan, on Oct. 3, 1868 and was 80 years, 9 months and 23 days old when death claimed her. She grew to womanhood and was educated in Michigan, where at one time she taught school. On July 10th, 1900, she was united in marriage to Henry Born at Montague, Mich. He brought her as a bride to his homestead which was and is now the present "Born's Lake." To this union 4 children were born, two boys and two girls. The boys preceded her in death, George was drowned at the age of 2 years and James lost his life in the service for his country at the Port Chicago disaster July 17, 1944.
The surviving children are Mrs. Mabel Bennett of Pagosa Springs and Mrs. Helen Brown of Durango, Colo. Also 7 grand children and one great grandchild. Besides these relatives she has three brothers that survive her, R, R. Dillabaugh of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Frank Dillabaugh of Lansing, Mich., and H. E. Dillabaugh of Meridian, Idaho, also several nieces and nephews.
Mr. Born passed away many years ago when the children were young but she carried on, keeping the home intact and educated them. Being a "Pioneer Lady" many hardships beset her path thru life but she mastered them in the true Pioneer Spirit taking the bitter with the sweet. In past years she was ever ready to lend a helping hand to friends in times of sickness and need. When a young woman she united with the Methodist Church and held to that faith thru her long, useful life. Pall bearers were Jim Moorehead, B. S. Ellsworth, Bill Woodard, O. C. Boyd, Walter Curs and Jim McCoy. The honorary pallbearers were J. T. Chambers, Harry Speelman, Frank Schoonover, Dave Hersch, A. L. Decker and Jule Macht. The funeral services were held last Friday afternoon from the Methodist Church with Rev. J. Denton Simms officiating. Interment was in Hilltop Cemetery. Arrangements were in charge of the Lynch Mortuary.
