29, 2010 - A Victorian Wake for Emma Crawford
DEATH COMES TO MISS EMMA CRAWFORD
It is with great sorrow that we mourn the passing of Miss Emma Crawford.
As most of you, her dear friends know, in 1889 Emma came to Manitou in search of her health. She was accompanied by her mother and her fiancé Mr. William Hildebrand. It was the young couple’s greatest desire that Emma, who suffered from consumption, would benefit from Manitou’s healing water and crisp mountain air. She partook of them both abundantly and freely on her many walks in the area.
Emma rallied and was busily preparing for her wedding. Life was a blessing indeed. But fate held a different card and the Reaper was not to leave with empty hands. Emma succumbed.
Father Jean Baptist Francolon and his mother Marie have graciously offered to open their magnificent home, Miramont, for Emma’s wake. Many of her friends that she had met on her travels seeking better health are making plans to attend. Some of the more notable are Dr and Mrs William Bell, Dr. Davis, and of course Father Francolon and his mother Madam Marie Francolon.
If you wish to attend her wake
on October 23, the viewings will be at 6:00pm, 6:30pm and
7:30pm. The cost of admission will grant you entrance into Miramont, viewing of Emma laid out in the parlor in pure Victorian splendor, and a Victorian Wake, resplendent with
a full Victorian buffet dinner and beverages in the Great
Hall. Since this is sure to be one of the year's most talked about events, space is limited.
Reservations are required.
Call Miramont Castle Museum to reserve your viewing time on your
Visa, Mastercard, or Discover Card, which will be charged after
4:00 Wednesday, October 27, at which time all reservations are
final.
Cost for dinner and wake:
$25.00 for adults
$15.00 for children (12 and
under)
Contact Miramont Castle at 719-685-1011 for reservation and complete details.
