LAFEVERE OR LEFEVERE, Nellie

(this obit is hard to read, it could be LeFevere) Greeley Tribune (Greeley, Weld County) Date: Jan 14, 1897 Page 8 Mrs Nellie LaFevere The old settlers are fast passing away. In a few short years those who came to Greeley that bleak spring of 1870 will have joined the great majority. The story of how the arid soil of the Great American desert was made to bloom like a garden will then be told by the children and grandchildren of the brave men and women who left comfortable homes in the East and by their courage and intelligence turned the alkali dust and cacti-bearing plains into fields of potatoes, wheat, barley, and corn. Mrs. LaFevere was the wife of James H. Foster, an original colonist, and with him came to what is now known all over the Union as Greeley. A few years after their arrival Mr. and Mrs. Foster were divorced and about ten years ago she married Issac LaFevere. She was subject nervous prostration, owing to the altitude and for many ears was invalid. Several months ago, Mrs. LeFevere (this paragraph is unreadable) She leaves four children, James H, Herbert M, Ralph G and Al???? to mourn her death. The funeral took place from the residence of deceased, corner of Tenth street and Thirteenth Avenue, Monday the Rev. O. J. Moore of the Methodist Episcopal church, officiating and the remains were interred in Linn Grove cemetery.
