Obituary (with some corrections) from the Boulder Daily Camera:

Mrs. Charlotte Frances Beresford, widow of A. M. Beresford, died Saturday [May 14, 1949] night in Evanston, IL, where she went nearly two years ago in order to be near a daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Walter S. Lovelace, editor of the Evanston Review. Although her health had not been good for a year it did not take a serious nature until three months ago. Mrs. Beresford was 83.

As Miss Treat of Claridon, Ohio, where she was born on Aug. 24, 1866, she went to Orleans, NE, in the eighties to teach school and there met Mr. Beresford, who was practicing law. They were married on Dec. 8, 1887 and continued to make their home there until 1906 when they came to Boulder for the education of their eight children. Each child graduated from Boulder high school and [all except Theodore] from the University [of Colorado], to set a record that may not have been excelled by any other family. Each [actually 6, excepting Theodore] of their seven sons became members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Upon their arrival in Boulder the Beresfords purchased the home at 1064 Thirteenth street where in later years Mrs. Beresford became a "mother" to many students other than her own family. She was active in the chapter HPEC in the Women's Club in the early years of her residence, in the Presbyterian Church and its women's organizations.

Mr. Beresford died November 16, 1930. He was prominent in the Republican Party, in fraternal organizations and had served Boulder as justice of the peace with distinction.

Of the eight children of Mr. and Mrs. Beresford, one, Paul C. Beresford, died Oct. 15, 1945 in Mart, Texas, where he was the Ford dealer. Survivors are Robert M.; Lester T., Western Representative, Lawn Mower Division, Reo Motors, Inc., Los Angeles; Kenneth E., Sales and Sales Promotion, Dixon Paper Co., Denver; Howard C., recreation officer for the Veterans Administration [Office of Special Services] in four western states, Denver; Stuart, representative of the Malnati Sporting Goods Co., Denver; Theodore, who is in business in New York City; and Mrs. Walter Lovelace. There are also 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

The remains of Mrs. Beresford were cremated and the ashes are being forwarded to Boulder for interment in the family lot in Green Mountain cemetery [in Denver]. All of the children, except Robert [and Lester, who was on a business trip and could not be contacted until too late], will be in Boulder.

Memorial services are in charge of the Allardice-Hibbard Mortuary. They will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, with Rev. Frank Greenway officiating.

This was my grandmother. Cause of death was a stroke. There is a great deal of confusion and contradiction as to whether her name was "Charlotte Frances" or "Frances Charlotte." I am calling her "Charlotte Frances" to be consistent.
