"Mrs. A. J. [sic] Hallock, after days and weeks of suffering breathed her last at 9 o'clock. She had been confined to the [Rio Grande] hospital for about three months and for a time it seemed that she would recover from the shock of two surgical operations performed. But on Saturday evening it became evident that the end was nearing and all during Sunday and Monday the family and sympathetic friends watched over her almost momentarily expecting the end. No announcements as to the funeral services have been made."

"Obituary.
Catherine Eckman Crane Hallock, wife of J. A. Hallock, died December 4, 1899, at 8:40 p. m. aged 62 years and 8 months. Mrs. Hallock was born at [New] Petersburg, Highland county, Ohio, and with her parents moved to Audubon county, lowa, in 1855. On January 30, 1860, she was married to our fellow townsman, J[ohn] A[ddison] Hallock. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Hallock still continued to reside at Exira, Iowa, until 1885, when with their family they emigrated to Salida, Colo., where they have lived ever since, being highly honored and respected by all who knew them. Mrs. Hallock was the mother of nine children, six of whom survive her, Charles L[incoln], Geo[rge] D., J[ohn] Willis, Frank B., Ida Grace, I[saac] Raymond. Annie died at the age of 20 at Salida; Kelley Eckman and Kitty, aged respectively 18 months and 1 year. Up to a few months ago she enjoyed her usual good health, when she was prostrated with disease of the liver, which proved fatal. Mrs. Hallock was of a modest and retiring disposition. She loved home and all its surroundings. She loved all her family--her boys and girls were all the world to her, being in every sense a noble woman, wife and mother. I believe those three words to be the grandest and most inspiring in any and all languages save God. She did not mingle much in society or the world; she did not cultivate and gain a large circle of friends, but those she had loved and revered her, because she was so replete in her nature, in her pure and exalted womanhood, in her kindness, gentleness and interest in her friends and neighbors that her memory will ever be enshrined as a precious gem in the hearts of those who know her best. She easily grasped the full import of the line "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" It is so strange to me that we see so many good and exalted qualities-we see honor, bravery and intelligence, we see all that is good and ennobling in our fellowmen as we mingle with them during "life's fitful dream," yet we never go to him with words of praise and encouragement that he might take new life and new energy in the battle of life. We sit supinely still and wait until the "King of Terrors" removes them from our midst. Then we shout their praise. Then we tell of the grandeur of their achievements; then we tell of the deeds that were as bright as the glittering gems that deck the diadem of night, knowing full well that it is mockery to the glad soul that is basking in the eternal adoration of the everliving God. Mrs. Hallock's religion consisted in doing all the good she could in the world and as little evil as possible. She had faith in God -"Being above all Beings! Mighty One, Whom none can comprehend and none explore! Who fillest existence with Thyself alone -embracing all, supporting, ruling o'er -Being whom we call God and know no more!" A mother has been stricken by the icy hand ol death. She sleeps beneath the globe in Fairview cemetery. Let those who knew her best emulate her life, and then all, as she did, lay life's burdens down without crying, "Oh, God! Oh, God! that it were possible to undo things done; to call back yesterday; to untell things told!" "Set tibi terra Ievis." A Friend."

"The funeral of Mrs. J. A. Hallock was held at the family home on upper G street Wednesday forenoon at 10:30 o'clock. A large number of friends assembled with the family to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved. Rev. Ohl of Ascension church read the church funeral service and offered a few remarks on his own behalf appropriate to the occasion. Music was rendered by the Ascension choir. The pall bearers were D. H. Craig, V. C. Davenport, S. M. Jackson, J. G. Hollesbe, J. H. Steed and S. W. Sendusky. At the conclusion of the service the body was taken to Fairview for interment. The floral offerings of the family and friends were beautiful and in profusion. The deceased leaves a husband, a mother 96 years old and a large family of children and grandchildren. Her children are Charles, George, Willis and Frank Hallock, all of whom are married. Miss Grace Hallock and Ray Hallock."
