Fitzhugh. The people of the county were shocked to learn that Edgar J. Fitzhugh of Chromo, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Fitzhugh of that place, had died Tuesday night at 9 a.m. at the Ochsner hospital in Durango, following a severe operation for stomach trouble. I was only recently that a similar operation had been performed upon him to no avail and relief was sought in a second ordeal, but his condition was beyond surgical skill. He was 37 years old and had lived in Chromo ever since he was ten years of age, being practically reared in the county. He was a square, upright man, beloved by all who knew him. Several years ago he married Mrs. Daisy McIntyre, who survives him. Besides the wife he leaves a father, mother and a number of brothers to mourn his death. The remains were taken to Chromo yesterday by the wife and father and the funeral services are being held this afternoon from the home. His untimely demise is mourned by the entire county and sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones. (The Pagosa Spring Sun March 16, 1923) H. T. Fitzhugh. it is with sorrow that we chronicle the death of another Archuleta county pioneer and resident, Mr. H. T. Fitzhugh, who passed away suddenly last Friday afternoon at his Chromo ranch home, a victim of heart failure. He complained of being slightly ill two days before, but it was not thought serious and he lived but a brief time following the attack. H. T. Fitzhugh was born in Henry county Missouri on May 14, 1845 and died on March 9, 1923, being 77 years, 9 months and 25 days. In a852 he went with his parents to California and was married to Miss Kate L. Gatlin on January 27, 1876, in White Pine county, Nevada. To this union was born one daughter and seven sons. Mr. Fitzhugh and family came to Archuleta county in 1887, and have resided since that time on the farm where he died, being one of the oldest residents of this section. Two sons, Roy and Edward preceded him to the Great Beyond, passing away in this county. The daughter, Mrs. Fay Havens, resides in Hollywood, Calif., while two sons, Clarence and Gordon live at Antonito; one son, Mack makes his home in Idaho but was home on a visit at the time of his father's death; and two sons HARRY and Carrell, reside at Chromo. All were in attendance at the funeral services and with the exception of the daughter, who was unable to be present. In addition to his wife, daughter and five sons, he leaves twelve grandchildren, two brothers, one living in Wyoming and the other in California, and many neighbors and friends to mourn his departure. He was indeed one of our best known and highly respected citizens. He was a good neighbor and kind husband, and one of his neighbors who had known him many years said, "he was the best father he had ever known." He was a lover of children and especially his grandchildren, who mourn so deeply his passing. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and has represented his home lodge in the Grand Lodge of Colorado. The heart of the entire community beats in sympathy with the family in their bereavement. This was evidenced by the large attendance that gathered at the old home to attend the funeral services on Monday at 11:00a.m. The services were conducted by Rev. John Q. Vermillion of the Baptist church at Pagosa Springs, using as his text the quotations from the fourteenth chapter of John, "If it were not so I would have told you," after which the sorrowing relatives and a large number of friends followed his body to the Chromo cemetery, where it was laid away to await the Resurrection Morning. Thus passes one of Archuleta County's pioneers and gran old man.
