Rock Springs Rocket, Jul 14, 1932
Resident of City 51 Years Dies; Funeral Tuesday
Mrs. Eliza Freeman, 67, First Came Here In 1881
Funeral services for Mrs. Eliza Freeman, 67, were held Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the L.D.S. church with A.N. Miller, first counselor, officiating.
Mrs. Freeman, who was a resident of Rock Springs for 51 years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Eliga Daniels, 313 Barracks, Saturday following a ten-day illness due to complications. She had been in declining health for several years.
Mrs. Freeman was a pioneer resident of southwestern Wyoming, coming with her parents to Almy in 1880 and then to Rock Springs in 1881. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Syme, early day residents of the city, who are buried in Mountain View cemetery. Her parents’ entry with their children into the Rock Springs community predated the Chinese riot of ’85. She was born in Scotland November, 24, 1864. At intervals she had lived at Cumberland and Fronter.
In her early womanhood she married Peter Robertson in Rock Springs and to this union were born three sons and two daughters, all of whom survive her with the exception of a daughter, Mrs. Frank Overy Jr., who died seven years ago. The others are William S. Robertson of Reliance, Mrs. Eliga Daniels, Rock Springs; James Robertson, of Fairview, Utah and Peter Robertson of Pomona, Calif.
Her second marriage was to John Freeman, which took place in Rock Springs 37 years ago. Mr. Freeman died here December 24, 1914. Three daughters and two sons were born of the second marriage, but one son and one daughter preceded her in death. Those surviving are David M. Freeman of Reliance; Mrs. Dowl Shrum, of Jackson and Mrs. W.E. Bell, of Dines. Twenty-five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren survive.
Mrs. Freeman is survived also by four brothers and four sisters. The brothers are George Syme of Logan, Utah; Jams Syme of Lyman, William Syme of Great Falls, Mont., and Robert Syme of Rock Springs. The sisters are Mrs. Jessie Little of Salt Lake City, Mrs. Margaret James of Rock Springs, Mrs. Anna Wyatt of Burley, Idaho and Mrs. Jane Rollins of Lyman.
Many friends, including a number of old timers of Rock Springs attended the funeral Tuesday. The pallbearers included three grandsons, Clayton and Murlyn Robertson of Reliance and Eliga Daniels Jr., Rock Springs; and Alex Spence, Jack Korogi and Harold Korogi of Reliance.
Interment was in charge of the Rogan mortuary and was in the family plot in Mountain View cemetery.
