The Grim Reaper called in Wray last Saturday evening and claimed for his victim, Mrs. Catherine Finn, who had been seriously ill for a few days with pneumonia.
Mrs. Finn was one of the early settlers of this county, coming here in 1888 with her husband, J. S. Finn, who passed to the Great Beyond nearly fifteen years ago. They spent four years on a ranch near Wray, and then moved into town where they lived until Mr. Finn's death, and where Mrs. Finn has made her home since, with the exception of a few years spent on her homestead north of town.
The deceased lady was much esteemed by all, and leaves a host of warm friends to join with her children in mourning her departure. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church, Tuesday morning, and were conducted by Rev. A. W. Rice, and the body was laid to rest in the Grand View cemetery.
We wish to thank the many friends one and all, who gave us their help and sympathy during the illness and death of our beloved mother.

Lear Catherine Bacon was born in Washington county, Tennessee, January 15, 1850, and moved with her parents to Illinois when she was four years old. She was married to George Stults in February, 1869, and three children were born to this union, Mrs. William Love of Whitehall, Illinois; Mrs. W. B. Fearn of Haigler, Nebraska, and Mrs. John Dalrymple of Wray, Colorado.
Mr. Stults died in 1878, and in 1880 Mrs. Stults was married to J. S. Finn, and the following children were born to this union, and all survive the mother, and live in or near Wray: Mrs. Isaac Reed, Mrs. Clyde Cunningham, Mrs. Ota Tosh, and the only son, Otto Finn. Two brothers, John Bacon, and a sister Mrs. J. P. Casteel, all of Hettich, Illinois, survive the sister.
Mrs. Finn was converted at the age of nineteen, and united with the Baptist church in Illinois. She united with the Methodist church in Wray about five years ago. Her life has been one of a good, consistent Christian woman, a loving, kind mother, and a sympathetic friend and neighbor, and she will be sadly missed by many friends with whom we join in extending sympathy to the children in the hour of their bereavement.
