VAN HORN, Hervey - Death of Hervey Van Horn - Sunday afternoon scores of old friends an neighbors of Hervey Van Horn during his long lifetime gathered at the church in Gypsum to pay their last respects to a man whom they had long respected, one of the true pioneers of Colorado and Eagle county, who passed away at the home of his son, Frank Van Horn, in Gypsum on Thursday, April 18, 1940.
Mr. Van Horn was past 90 years of age, having been born in Otsego County, N.Y., February 3, 1850. In childhood he moved with his family to Little Falls, N.Y., where on January 22, 1870, he was married to Eldora Yates. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and followed it most of his life. In 1886he joined a caravan of other New York state families, and , heeding Horace Greeleys advice of "Go West Young Man, Go West," came to Kit Carson county, Colorado, the trip more than half way across the continent being made in covered wagons. He took up a homestead in Kit Carson County, but as there had been a drought for several years in that section, he soon abandoned the land and moved on to western Colorado, landing in Gypsum that same year - September of 1886. He worked here at his trade and farmed taking up a ranch at Dotsero which was the Van Horn family home for many years.
In 1903, death claimed his beloved wife, Eldora. Later he married Mrs. Stena Gilbert, who also preceded him in death, passing away June 12, 1936. For the past three years , Mr. Van Horn has been sorely afflicted. An infected foot, which it was thought would end his life long ago, causing him much suffering, but his imodmitable spirit and courage keep him going until finally the body, if not the spirit, gave up the ghost, and Hervey J. Van Horn passed on to his reward.
Among those who survive to mourn his death are four sons - William, of Columbine, Colorado; Frank and Earl, of Gypsum, Colo.; John of Eagle, Colo; three daughters - Mrs. Lulu Carr, of Gypsum, Colo.; Mrs. George Irvine, of McCamey, Tex.; Mrs. Fannie Tibbetts, of Carbondale, Colo., and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Funeral services were conducted from the church in Gypsum with Rev. F. W. Casselman delivering the discourse, and Mortician Paul Andre in charge of the burial services.

The death of Reuben Helmer Yates, a life-long and highly respected resident of this locality, occurred Saturday morning at 7:30 o'clock at his home on Grove, street following a decline in health which followed a severe illness in March, 1934, from which he never fully recovered.
Mr. Yates was the son of John and Adelia (Getman) Yates, and was born in the Fly Creek Valley, May 22, 1863. He remained on the home farm until he reached manhood. Forty years ago he came to the village of Cooperstown and had made his home here continuously since that time. During his more active years he was employed as a caretaker and gardener and was accounted a man of especial skill in the latter calling. A strong. Republican, Mr. Yates took an active part in local and county political affairs. He was a loyal party, worker and a man upon whose integrity, industry and intelligence his associates as well as the party leaders placed entire reliance. For a number of years he filled the office of Constable of both the town and village and for a long time acted as a constable of both the town and village and for a long time acted as court officer during the sessions of County and Supreme Court. He was thus engaged last March when seized by the attack which marked the final break in his health.
Mr. Yates was a life-long member of the Presbyterian Church of Cooperstown and for years served in the ranks of the old Phinney Hose Company from which he received an honorable discharge. This company disbanded in 1901. A citizen of sterling character and a highly faithful public servant, his passing will be mourned by a wide circle of friends.
He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Mary Hakes of Cooperstown, whose death occurred twenty-nine years ago. Mrs. Elmira (Denny) Caulkins of Oneonta became his wife in 1907. She survives, together with one daughter of his former marriage, Mrs. Carroll G. Norton of Westville, and a brother, John Yates of Mohawk. Mrs. Harry Duffy, Clarence Palmer and Kearney Caulkins, all of Oneonta, are stepchildren. There also remain four granddaughters, Jeanne, Lois, Wilma and Reubena J Norton of Westville, and three step-grandchildren, Miss Helen Caulkins, who has made her home in the Yates household for the last several years, and Robert and Alice Caulkins, both of Oneonta. Mrs. O. L. VanHorne of this village is a niece, while former Sheriff Don VV. Rose of this village, Claude M. Rose of Schuyler Lake, and Leslie Rose of Liberty are nephews.
A prayer service attended by members of the family was held at the home Tuesday afternoon, followed by the funeral at the First Presbyterian church at 2 o'clock, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Edward C. Petrie, officiating. During the church service, Stanley W. Murdock of this village sang two hymns, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and "Heaven Is My Home," accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Marian Allison, church organist. The bearers were Sheriff George H. Mitchell, Russell Warren, Ernest M. Johnson and Paul Chase. Burial was made in the family plot at the Fly Creek cemetery.
