Miss Myrtle Gilman of Denver, died in this city yesterday
shortly before noon of lung trouble, after an illness of
over two years. She was a comparative stranger in the city
though she spent last winter here with her mother and made a
number of intimate friends to whom her untimely end comes as
a deep personal sorrow.
Miss Gilman was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Gilman,
prominently known in Denver and was 18 years of age. Herself
and mother were guests of the Portland last winter and while
she was unable to enter actively into social amusements, she
had many callers and all was done that could be to make her
visit as enjoyable as possible. Last spring they returned
to Denver and from there went to the coast, where some time
was spent, coming to Phoenix again a week ago last Thursday.
When it was all too plainly seen that the end of her suffering
was near at hand, Mr. Gilman was sent for, arriving here
Friday morning.
Miss Gilman was a most estimable character, who could not
fail to impress her pleasing personality upon all with whom
she came in contact. She was ever appreciative of kindnesses
and efforts in her behalf and for some time has realized that
her life was fast ebbing away. She called her friends and
relatives to her bedside, thanked them all for what they had
done for her and after making some final requests relative
to the disposition of her remains, sank peacefully into that
sleep that knows no earthly waking.
The bereaved parents left with the remains on this mornings
S.F. P & P train for Beloit, Wis. the home of Mr. Gilman's
parents, where interment will be made in the family plot.
