He was at one time a part owner of the Presidents mine on Breece Hill. Prior to his death, for two terms he was the Justice of the Peace, but about three years ago old age and failing health prevented him from taking an active interest in his office. His death Sunday, at St. Vincent's hospital, where he had been a patient for about two weeks, was due to heart failure and infirmities of old age. Surviving him is a brother John O'Rourke living in Denver, but who was unable to come here attend the funeral. funeral arrangements were supervised by a close friend. Mrs. Delia Gorman at his request after he had given her custody of a small fund he had set aside for his burial not long ago. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has any knowledge of any of the involved individuals. Teri
