Mrs. Elizabeth Arnold Hurlbut, wife of Judge E. W. Hurlbut, former justice of the Colorado court of appeals, and a resident of Colorado since the days of the Civil war, died at her home, 234 South Logan street, Friday after a short illness. She was 61 years old.
Mrs. Hurlbut, before her marriage, was Miss Elizabeth Arnold, daughter of Col. W. A. Arnold, one of the first settlers in Gilpin county, and captain of a Rhode Island battery in the Civil war. The Arnolds came west immediately after the close of the war.
The marriage of Miss Arnold and Judge Hurlbut was a romance of the early west. Judge Hurlbut settled in Gilpin county in 1862, and the development of the county was in a large part due to the two families. The marriage occurred in 1884, and several years later the couple moved to Denver, where they have since made their home. Mrs. Hurlbut was active in church and charitable work here, and a member of the Tolstoi guild and similar organizations.
Mrs. Hurlbut is survived by her husband and one son, Henry A. Hurlbut, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who arrived in Denver last week.
