AMORETTI, Eugene Sr.----Telegrams were received from Omaha last Monday announcing the death of On. E. Amoretti Sr.  The funeral party consisting of his widow and Mesers E. Amoretti Jr. and P. J. Creedon, arrived at Lander with the remains Tuesday evening, having been joined at Glen Rock by Hon. And Mrs. J. E. Higgins.  The party was met at the station by the members of the family here, the city council, those connected with the First National Bank and Central Trust Company and other friends who took charge of the casket and conveyed it to the family residence, where it remained until the funeral Thursday morning at 10 oclock.

Mr. Amoretti was on his way up from Florida to spend the summer at Lander as usual, when he was taken ill at Omaha, and his condition became so serious that his son Eugene was summoned by telegraph.  The latter was at  his ranch on Wind river at the time, but upon receipt of the message made a hurried trip to Lander and took the train for Omaha the following morning.  He found his father much better and improving, so that it was thought he would recover.  But the hot weather and the weakness resulting from his severe attack were against him and he died suddenly on July 3^rd  after a comfortable morning and in the midst of preparations for his removal to a hospital in the city for more quiet surroundings.

Eugene Amoretti Sr. was born in 1821 at Villafranca, Nice, then a province of Italy.  He left home at an early age to try his fortune in America, and a history of his extensive travels and experiences would read like a romance.  He spent several years in California in the midst of the gold excitement of the 1860s , engaged in the mercantile business, and visited Central and South America  several times in that connection.  After various experiences he came to South Pass, Wyoming, in 1868, and became interested in mining, at the same time conducting general stores at that place, Atlantic City and Miners Delight, trading with the miners, settlers and Indians and participating in the dangers and excitements of frontier life.  He removed to Lander in 1877 and engaged in the mercantile business, later opening a private bank here, which was later merged into the present First National Bank of which he has been president since its incorporation in 1892.  He also established a bank at Thermopolis some years later and was for several years president of the First National Bank of that place.  At the time of his death he was president of the Shoshone National Bank of Cody, Wyoming, and the private bank of Amoretti, Barclay & Co. at Bridger, Montana.  He was also president of the local electric light company and prominently identified with many other business enterprises, although during the latter years of his life his winters were spent in the milder climate of Florida, where he owned and managed an orange grove.  He was prominent in a public way, having served as the first mayor of Lander and as a member of the legislature from Fremont county and in other positions.  He was a member of the local Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges and of Mount Horeb Chapter of R. A. M. and of Hugh de Payen Commandery K. T.

Mr. Amoretti was in many ways a remarkable man and a useful man in his generation, whose picturesque figure will not soon be forgotten.  He was a man of broad sympathies and ripe experience.  No worthy charity was ever turned away from him empty handed and he gave liberally to public purposes in the upbuilding of his favorite town, county and state.  Among other Benefactions he donated the block where the court house now stands and joined his associates in gifts of sites for the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches and for the public library.  He was a builder and erected several business blocks and two additions to the town of Lander bear his name.  He was never happier than when engaged in some plan for the material growth  of the town.

He was married three times.  His first marriage was in Italy in 1851 and his first wife died in 1884.  He married Miss Reed at Lander in 1885, who died at Cody in 1901.  He was married again in 1903 to Miss Alec, who survives him.

He leaves a widow, who by her devotion and care, added to the comfort of his declining years and has won a place in the hearts and affections of his friends.  A daughter, the wife of Hon. J. E. Higgins of Glenrock, and a son Eugene Amoretti Jr. who was the first white child born at South Pass and has lived at Lander from boyhood. 

The funeral services were held from the Church of Immaculate Conception,  with high mass given by Reverend Father Borup of the Saint Stephens Mission.  The pallbearers were the following, J. Lamereux, A. D. Lane, Abram Fosher, F. G. Burnett, H. G. Nickerson, W. N. Coalter, E. T. St. John, Edward Farthing Sr., William OBrien, Samuel Iiams, J. A. McAvoy, and Charley Allen.  Interment was in the Odd Fellows cemetery.  Wyoming State Journal July 8, 1910

 

ANGELO, Zelma Lee---The people of Dubois and vicinity were greatly shocked and grieved when the news of the death of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Angelo reached them. Little Zelma Lee was born at the present home of the family on September 20^th 1906.  and lived only four short years to brighten the home from which she passed away September 1910.  She was an unusually loveable child and always had a bright smile for those around her.

This bud just ready to open was snatched from the home so unexpected that her death comes as a serious blow to her parents.  Her sickness was of only a few hours duration.  Tuesday she appeared well and happy, playing as usual.  Shortly after midnight on Wednesday she passed away.  Everything that loving care of parents, relatives and kind neighbors could do was no avail.

The funeral services were held at St. Thomas church on Friday, September 2, the remains were interred near the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Nicol in Dubois.  The bereaved parents and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of grief.  Wyoming State Journal September 23, 1910

A few weeks since her wishes were gratified by a visit to Denver, where she was placed under the medical care of Dr. A. C. Godfrey.  But this noted physicians best efforts proved of no avail and in spite of all that money and friends could do the end came and the patient suffer passed peacefully into the shadow of death.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John Roberts at the Episcopal church Thursday at 2 p.m. the church being filled to its utmost seating capacity.  Business houses were closed during the funeral.  Perhaps at no funeral in Lander were there ever such a profusion of flowers, floral pieces arriving by almost every train, tokens of esteem from loving friends.  Interment took place in the Lander cemetery, where all that was mortal of one of Landers most estimable and much beloved pioneer residents was laid to rest.  The bereaved husband and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community.  Wyoming State Journal October 9, 1908

FRICKLE, Alexander nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Frickle, who reside near the John Piggott ranch on the Big Wind River, was drowned in that stream between three and four oclock last Saturday afternoon.

The lad had gone in search of his fathers milk cows as was his custom every afternoon about three oclock in order that the animals could be milked and the milk delivered to customers in town later in the evening.  He rode a horse from the home that his work might be speeded up and when he did not return when expected his father went in search.  The horse was found grazing along the river bank but the boy was not in sight.  The father then hurried on down the stream but could find no trace of him.  Suddenly he saw the body lodged on the rocks in shallow water on a small island and hurried to it.  No signs of life were apparent but medical aid was summoned as soon as possible.  The physician pronounced the boy dead and stated that from appearances he had been dead for some time.

How the lad met his untimely end is a mystery.  It may be that he was riding his horse in the stream and that the animal stumbled throwing him into the stream,.  A severe bruise, sufficient to cause insensibility by a fall that would cause it, was on his forehead, and it may be that he was rendered unconscious by striking a rock in the bed of the stream and was thus powerless to help himself and taken down by the current.  In this helpless condition it may have been that life was taken from him and his lifeless body cast upon the small island by the current. 

Funeral services were conducted from the German Lutheran church on Sunday afternoon, and interment made in Odd Fellows cemetery.  The boy was morn in Russia and came to the United States with his parents while quite young.  The family settled in northern Colorado where they resided until about two years ago when they removed to Riverton.  Riverton Review Wednesday August 31, 1921

GILBERT, Justin S.----If there can be comparison at all in the case of funerals and deaths, all of which are exceedingly sad, perhaps the most tragic of this year is that of Justin S. Gilbert.  The boy, who was a little past sixteen years of age, took his mother and the rest of the family to Sweetwater country for an outing.  For a lad he was exceptionally careful and successful with firearms.  Tuesday evening after reaching camp south of South Pass, he with the other boys went out hunting chickens.  Some way in going through or over a fence the gun was accidentally discharged while the boy was above it and the load completely severed the right arm above the elbow.  Some shot entered the lung and some the stomach, and from the effects of these shots and the loss of blood the boy died five hours after the accident. 

Justin S. Gilbert was a very exemplary boy, being a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church of Lander and in every way a model Christian boy.  Being conscious during most of the time from the accident until his death he gave assurances that he was prepared to go out to try the unknown world beyond.

The funeral service were held in the Methodist church Thursday afternoon August 18, conducted by Rev. Cyrus A. Wright, pastor of the church.  Appropriate and beautiful music was rendered by the choir.

Interment was made in the Oddfellow cemetery and was largely attended.  The pall bearers were six young lads, associates and class mates of the deceased.  Wyoming State Journal August 19, 1910

 

GRAVES  Beatrice L. Died in Lander January 2, 1906 of spinal meningitis Beatrice L. daughter of Mrs. Karl Graves. Aged 6 years 1 month and 27 days.  In all Lander a month ago no one seemed further away from the grim reaper than did pretty little Beatrice Graves.  Bright eyed and winsome and seemingly the picture of robust health she suddenly sickened and the ailment rapidly developed into that dread scourge, spinal meningitis, mild in form at first, so that for three weeks hope reigned high in the hearts of parents and friends.  In spite of the loving care and skilled nursing and medical attendance the disease conquered and the evening before Christmas she wearily pushed away the new doll and murmuring brokenly Now I lay me Now I lay medown to sleep sank into the coma from which she never awakened on this earth.  The funeral services, of which a touching incident was the attendance in a body of the primary department of the Lander schools, were held at the Methodist church, Thursday afternoon at two oclock and were conducted by Rev. P. N. Fredin after which the remains were buried in the I. O. O. F. cemetery

Orson was born in Birmingham, England, on March 5, 1850 and had he lived a week or two more would have reached his 65^th birthday.

He served the people of this county for many years as sheriff and we have yet to hear a man say the he was aught but straight in his official and private dealings.  He was a member of Lander Lodge No. 10 K. of P., and the uniform rank of the same order, and a member of the Elk lodge at Rock Springs.

In 1876 he was united in marriage with Miss Ella Barnaby, at Pocatello, Idaho, from which union two children were born, both of whom have preceded their father in death.  The Hudson Miner Friday February 19, 1915
