Death of Mrs. Damschroder
The death of Mrs. Anna Bell Damschroder this morning at Silverton will be sad news to hundreds of Durango people. Death was caused by diphtheria with which she was attacked only last Wednesday. When the news of her sickness was received in Durango yesterday much anxiety among friends was manifest. Mrs. Damschroder had resided in La Plata county at Pine River, and in Durango later, for 22 years. She graduated from the high school of Durango, with high honors. Her life here had endeared her to an unusually large circle of friends and associates.
Mrs. Damschroder was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Preston Bell. She was married to Mr. Damschroder seven years ago at Durango. They had two children, a boy and a girl, the former two and a half years, and the girl four years of age.
The little girl is lying dangerously ill with scarlet fever.
Marion Bell, at Gladstone, a brother, and Mrs. Carrie Alexander, a sister at Glenwood, were wired for. Mrs. Alexander will arrive in Silverton this evening.
Five weeks ago Mr. Damschroder and family had moved into their new home, a newly-built and commodious two-story dwelling, and they were getting their new home conveniently arranged for the comforts afforded by a modern dwelling during a mountain winter. Until the mother was stricken, the future of the Damschroders was a very bright one.
There are many of the classmates and co-workers of Annabelle Damschroder who worked beside her day after day at the school, hand in hand at the study and class work, who will be deeply affected by her death in the most useful period of her life.
It seems but a little while since Annabelle, the little girl, was with the throng of little tots, going to the public school, the ruined Longfellow, and the few years since January 27, 1896 when she was married, would seem to have hurried on as days come and go.
At the hour of going to press Marion Bell announced by telephone that arrangements for the funeral services had been perfected, and will be held at 2 o'clock p.m. on the 26th, at the family residence in Silverton. Services will be conducted by Rev. Colby, the Episcopal minister.
The Herald conveys to the stricken family, relatives, and friends the sympathy of hundreds of friends in La Plata county and trust that He who alone can minister, will comfort them in the hour of their great grief.
