24, 2008 - 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 the 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; Wyatt Earp and his wife Josie, Buffalo Bill Cody and his wife, 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
in October, the viewings will be at 6:00pm. 7:15pm and 8:30pm . There is a charge
per person or couple. This will grant you entrance into Miramont, viewing of Emma laid out in the parlor in pure Victorian splendor and a Victorian Wake, resplendent with Victorian food and beverage in the great hall. Since this is sure to be one of the year's most talked about events, space is limited and reservations are required.
Contact Miramont Castle at 719-685-1011 for reservation and complete details.
