Last Sunday morning Mrs. James H. Fahey, after a long sickness, breathed her last. She was long prostrated with consumption and for weeks gave up all hope of recovery. She was a woman of rare intellectual and physical force, having been one of the early pioneers in the far west. At one time she managed a hotel in Colorado along the stage line owned by her husband and accumulated a handsome fortune. She was only 41 years old at the time of her death and few women had passed through more varied experience. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her departure. On Monday morning her little grand-daughter, babe of Mrs. Down's, died and was encased in the same coffin. The funeral services took place at the family residence at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
