In 1902 she was united in marriage to H. A. Triggs, of Denver, Colo. To this union was born a son, Harold, now of New York City, who, on account of recent illness, could not be present at the funeral. Mrs. Triggs has been failing in health for more than two years, but only for the last six months had her health been such as to give her family anxious fears.
Early in life she chose the good path that could be taken from her, and lived her life of loving service to make a better world. She leaves to mourn her loss her son Harold, and her brothers and sisters, O.R. Brenniman of Brooklyn, C. E. Brenniman of Denver Colo., Mrs. Ella Frease of Fort Collins, Colo., Mrs. C. F. Willett of Brooklyn, Mrs. Lillian Garnett of Fort Collins, W. F. Brenniman of Riverton, Colo., and E. S. and R. H. Brenniman of Fort Collins. Also a host of friends and loved ones mourn the loss of one who gave her best.
Funeral services were held from the home of cousin Fred Breniman Tuesday afternoon, January 27th, at two o'clock. Pallbearers wee Ed Monroe, Ed Nussbaum, W. A. Fraser, Walter Uhl, A. L. Manatt, and Frank Crepps. Interment was made in the Haven Cemetery.
