Died - Mrs. Martha Lasell Portis died at her home near Jefferson Thursday morning, January 12, 1905, at 7:30 o'clock, after a brief illness.

Mr. and Mrs. Portis returned Sunday from a ten weeks honeymoon in the east and the latter was seemingly in good health. She spent Monday and Tuesday at her father's ranch, complaining of a slight cold on the latter day, when the young couple moved to Mr. Portis property below Jefferson

On Wednesday the cough was much worse and Dr. Lathrop of Como was sent for, diagnosing the case as double pneumonia and holding out no hopes of recovery.

The next morning the patient was very low and Dr. Lathrop was again telephoned, but Mrs. Portis was dead before his arrival.

OBITUARY.

MRS. ANNA SAVAGE.

Mrs. Anna Savage, one of the pioneers of Alma, died Saturday, January 12, after a brief illness. The lady had not been in good health for years, suffering from stomach trouble. [January 18, 1907 ]

Alma has lost one of her most respected citizens and one of her benefactors to many.

Mrs. Anna Savage, nee Graetz, was born in the city of Berlin, capital of Germany, the 17th of June, 1840, as the daughter of G. Graetz, a high Prussian custom house officer. After the death of her parents, she emigrated to America, where two brothers had preceded her, locating first in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, and afterwards in Chicago. In 1870, as governess in the family of President McKindley of the Globe Life Insurance company of Chfeugo (sic) she came to the (sic) that time established colony of Colorado Springs, where in 1873 she married Mr. Franklin Savage. In the same year, they moved to Park county, locating first at Quartzville during the Mt. Lincoln excitement. After Alma was started, they settled at this place, where Mrs. Savage was mostly engaged in the hotel business.

Mrs. Savage was a kindhearted woman, ready to help at all times, and many mourn her loss. The great esteem in which the deceased was held was shown by the large attendance at the Mission Chapel when Rev. Johnson preached of Fairplay preached the funeral sermon. The remains were interred in Buckskin cemetery.

Besides the bereaved husband, Mrs. Savage leaves her only sister, Mrs. Mary Neuhaus, and her nephew, Judge Neuhaus of Alma, to mourn her loss, besides many nephews and nieces in New York, Indiana and Kentucky.

Requiescat in pace.

Died - Beyond the fact that Richard Tremayne died at Canon City on last Saturday, March 10, 1906, nothing can be learned, either as to the circumstances or the cause of his death.

A Stroke of Paralysis, a few years ago, left him quite helpless and, it is presumed, made way for the advent of the grim reaper.

Dick Tremayne came to Park County in the 70's, when quite a lad. He engaged in mining for a number of years and was at one time a holder of considerable mining property in the Alma District.

His attention was turned, later, to the ranch and stock business; he acquired lands and buildings, prospered and at the time of his death was reputed to be worth many thousand dollars.

A staunch Republican throughout his thirty odd years of Park County life, he has held different positions of trust and honor.

His last public appearance was in 1901, when he ran against Ludlow H. Pruden, now dead, for County Commissioner from the Third District.

Dick Tremayne, although only about fifty-five years of age, was one of the old timers; others have been here longer, but none has done more good.

He was a good citizen and well liked. No immediate relatives mourn his loss.

Mr. Tremayne never married.
