"Death of Charley Goodfellow
A week before last we published a notice of the serious illness of Charley Goodfellow, and this week we are called upon to record his death, which occurred on Friday, April 7, at the Homeopathic hospital in Denver. Mr. Goodfellow came to Gilpin county in 1859, and **ing his long residence here engaged in mining and various other branches of business, and was well known throughout the country. He leaves a sorrowful wife, eight children, and a brother, Chandler, who resides in Greeley. The children are Mrs. Ellen B. Blaney, Mrs. Caroline S. Stewart, Mrs. Ivy G. Stewart, all of Greeley; Mrs. Daisie B. Lake of Denver, Mrs. Grace M. Burtram of Valparaiso, Ind., and Robert, Ralph and Raymond. Thus one by one the old-timers of the county and state are forced to give up the struggle and enter the sleep that has no awakening until the judgement day."LETTER

State Resident Since '62 Dies At Local Home
Mrs. Mary Goodfellow, Who Came to Colorado by Wagon 59 Years Ago, Succumbs to Acute Heart Trouble
INDIANS CAPTURED HER
Lingered Behind Wagon Train to Pick Flowers and Friendly Redskins Caught Her; Remembered When Big Herds of Buffalo Blocked ProgressMrs. Mary Amanda Goodfellow, 81 years old, widow of Charles Goodfellow, pioneer mining man and herself a resident of Colorado since 1862, died at her home, 129 Eleventh street, at 6:45 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mrs. Goodfellow was taken suddenly ill while eating breakfast. She called for a glass of water and then became unconscious. Dr. W. H. Wood, the coroner, who was called, said that death was due to angina pectoris, an acute form of heart trouble. Mrs. Goodfellow had just returned from a visit with relatives in Denver which had included a trip to the mountain parks. She did not seem to be unduly wearied from the experience, however.
Mrs. Goodfellow was before her marriage Mary Amanda Horne, daughter of Elisha Horne. Her father first came to Colorado in the fifties but she did not arrive here until 1862. The Horne homestead in Philaelphia where Mrs. Goodfellow was born, later became the site of the main building of the Centennial Exposition.
Mrs. Goodfellow was born May 3, 1840. She came to Colorado by wagon train. On the way, she lingered behind the train to pick flowers and was taken and held for a short time by friendly Indians. Mrs. Goodfellow also recalled that on several occasions the train was halted by huge herds of buffalo which then ranged the plains.
On the year of her arrival in Colorado, Mary Horne was married to Charles Goodfellow. The ceremony was performed at Black Hawk but the Goodfellows went to Central City to make their home. The husband was engaged in operating livery stables and was also interested in mining enterprises. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Goodfellow, seven of whom survive. One daughter, Mrs. Grace Bertram died seven years ago. Two other children died in infancy. The surviving children are Mrs. Ellen Blaney of Greeley, Mrs. Carrie Stewart of Greeley, Mrs. Ivy Stewart of Laramie, Wyo., Robert Goodfellow of Denver, Mrs. Daisy Lake of Denver, Ralph Goodfellow of Greeley and Ray Goodfellow of Greeley. There are 22 grandchildren and four great grandchildren surviving.
While in Central City, Mrs. Goodfellow saw many of the stirring events of the gold rush. She distinctly remembered the big fire which started from a Chinese holiday celebration. The Goodfellows moved to Greeley in 1884.
Up to the time of her death, Mrs. Goodfellow retained her faculties to a remarkable degree. Her parents and herself became well acquainted with Buffalo Bill when the scout was a young man. While on her last outing in the Denver mountain parks less than a week ago, Mrs. Goodfellow visited Buffalo Bill's grave.
Mrs. Goodfellow was brought up in the Episcopalian faith but for years she had attended the Presbyterian church. Funeral services have not been arranged as yet. The funeral and interment will be in Greeley. Mrs. Goodfellow's husband died here 21 years ago and is buried in Linn Grove."
