Seldom has such a gloom overshadowed the city as was occasioned by the death of Mrs. Justina Trankle, one pf the old pioneer.3 of this city, and prominent in Catholic church circles.. It was while preparations were being made for the annual pioneer ball in which Mrs. Trankle always took so much interest that death visited her home at 1750 Pennsylvania avenue, and she passed peacefully to the great beyond. Death was due to a paralytic, etroke. Right Rev. Bishop N. C. Matz administered the papal blessing shortly before she breathed her last as a token of the appreciation in which the Catholic church held her valuableserviees to religion. I Mrs. Trankle was born in Baden, Germany, eighty yeans ago last September. In 1842. accompanied by her husband, she came to this country and settled in Illinois, later Joining a party who were coming west. They crossed the plains by wagon in the '60 s. She settled in Aurora, now known as Denver, and became be-came prominently identified In the building up of the city and religious societies. Mrs. Trankle was a zealous member of the church and was affiliated with numerous Catholic societies. She is survived by one son, John Trankle. and three daughters. Mrs. Felix Thiea and Mrs. Conrad Schneider of Denver, and Mrs. John Swift of Cripple Creek. The funeral was held from St. Elizabeth's church Sunday morning when solemn High Mass was celebrated cele-brated by Father Pious. The church was crowded with the many friends of the deceased, a large number of whom are pioneer residents of the city. At the same time was held the funeral of Mrs. B. Yoksch, a prominent member of St. Elizabeth's parish. Both bodies were laid to rest in Mount Calvary cemetery. Mrs. Konoran Henry Dead. Catholic circles of Denver received a great shock last week by the sudden death, of Mrs. Honorah Henry and a devout member of the Annunciation pariah. Although suffering from a weak heart for some years Mrs. Henry was apparently in good health until un-til the morning of her death, when she was suddenly attacked with fainting spells. She recovered shortly however, and when her husband left home to attend to his business affairs she seemed to.be well again, but fell dead a half hour later while walking from one room to another. Mrs. Henry, (Miss Honorah O'Connor before her marriage), was born in Listowal, County Kerry, Ireland, Ire-land, and was educated in the Presentation convent in that city. - ' From early years she showed qualities of head and heart which endeared her to all and won the enduring endur-ing love of those who knew her ae "the light of the household. ' In the family circle grief will come most deeply. Naturally of an amiable disposition, she was a general gen-eral favorite, possessing the graciousness of manner which could not fail to impmss the observer. Her deep-rooted piety was only excelled by her unostentatious, but munificent charity.. Noted as she was for her devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Mother of Sorrows, the poignant grief that knows no healing must in a great measure be mitigated by the consoling thought that she has passed the portals of death to swell the canticles in unceasing praise of the Master, whom she loved on earth to abide forevermore . beneath the mantel of her Heavenly Queen. Besides a husband and child, she leaVes to mourn her death two sisters, Mrs. Sheehy, and Mrs. Dri3dle of Lincoln, Neb. Very impressive services marked the funeral which was held from the church of the Annunciation Thursday. Thurs-day. High Macs of requiem was sung and a touching funeral aermon delivered by Rev. FatherDempsey. The church was crowded with the sorrowing friends of the deceased, who joined in the prayers and beautiful beauti-ful ceremonies which bespoke a sympathy and sorrow that was widespread and sincere. The interment was at Mount Olivet cemetery.
