February 1910 "Sam Porter came down from Denver last week to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Foote, at Wray, and since that time is visiting his parents here. "

February 18, 1910 "Mrs. R. C. Foote, nee Lydia Newton Harvey, was born among the green hills of Connecticut, October 8th, 1833. Here she lived her happy girlhood in tho old white farm house with its green blinds and great maples, the home of hor fathor and grandfather. She was educated at Bacon Academy, then one of the best schools in the United States, and the same which her mother, her husband, and later her children attended.
On March 3, 1857, she was mnrriod to Ralph C. Footo of Colchester. In 1862 Mr. Foote, as captain of Co. H., Conn. Volunteers, enlisted in the federal army and the young mother, with three young ones, was left to watch and wait at home. Ten children were born to them, of whom nine lived to maturity.
In 1878 the family moved to Minnesota, four years later to southern Tennessee, and in 1886 to western Kansas where Mr. Foote died in Juno 1891. After this she lived several years at Haigler, Nobr., and at Boulder, Colo. Other griefs followed fast-the loss of hor only son, a mnrried daughter and a dear brother. 'She had known sorrow, He had often supped with her and broke for her the ashen crust,' yet she was cheerful and her interest in life never failed. She had a great love of birds, flowers and all things in nature. As age came on, Mrs. Foote seemed to grow daily in loving unselfishness and eager helpfulness. Her thoughts were all for others. A brother in Connecticut, a sister in Virginia, and one in California survive her, and seven daughters are left to mourn the loss of a mother whose loving kindness and gentleness never failed. Hers was ever the part of the peacemaker, hers the soft answer that turneth away wrath, hers the charity which never fails.
For the past four years she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. J. J. Cassin, near Wray, where each summer many of her children gathered to visit with her. To say that all who know her were her friends is but the simple truth.
On the evening of February 9th, without illness or pain, with all her facilities unimpaired, she fell asleep.
The funeral was held at the Christian church in Wray, Rev. P. W. Walthall officiating. Five sons-in-law and a grandson were the pall bearers.
All her children were present except Mrs. Mary Ballard, who was unable to make the journey from Montrose. Burial was in the Wray cemetery, where her husband's body will soon be laid beside her."

Mr. Foote assumed charge of the business Tuesday morning, October 1, and will be associated in the work by his brother, Ralph Foote, under the firm name of Foote Brothers. These young men are nephews of Mrs J. J. Cassens and have the appearance of straight-forward business men who will make a success of their venture and keep the business up to the standard maintained by their predecessors. "


March 1911 " Sam Porter of Denver stopped off in Wray last Friday on his way to Haigler to visit his daughter, who attends the Wray school, making her home with her aunt, Mrs. J. J. Cassens. Mr. Porter and Mrs. Cassens visited the schools."
