O. B. LIDDELL DEAD OF SORROW
VETERAN AGED 10 YEARS IN 1
Loss of Son Last December Began Decline of Prominent Denver Lawyer.
The sudden death of his son, Major Liddell, from pneumonia at Boise last December, is believed to have caused the demise of Judge Oliver Brown Liddell, 68 at his residence, 1549 Logan Street, yesterday morning. Judge Liddell aged ten years in the last twelve months through sorrow. Although his once handsome face was fading and his former fine form tottering, he was active in his practice of law until last Wednesday noon, when illness forced him to his home. He was in bed only a few hours before the end. Heart disease is given as the immediate cause of death.
Judge Liddell had been active in the practice of law in Denver for thirty years. He served a term on the district bench under appointment from Governor J. A. Cooper in 1890. His offices were in the Jacobson Building, Fifteenth and Arapahoe. He was attorney for the Industrial Building and Loan Association since its formation.
Judge Liddell was born in Dearborn County, Ind., November 30, 1843. He was graduated from Brookville College at the age of 17 and a year later enlisted in the Sixty-eighth Indiana for service in the Civil War. Shortly after enlistment he was commissioned, and at the close of three years service ranked a lieutenant. In 1866 he entered the regular army as a commissioned officer and was sent to Fort Morgan. A year later he resigned and returned to Indiana, where he opened a law office at Lawrenceburg.
Judge Liddell was twice married. His first wife was Josephine Major, whom he married at Lawrenceburg in 1887. She died in this city in 1903. In 1905 he married Mrs. Estella Lowthian, who survives him. Two children also survive--Miss Olivia Liddell, who lives at the family residence, and Donald M. Liddell, of New York, a member of the editorial staff of the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Judge Liddell moved to Denver in 1882, since which year he has been well known among local attorneys. He was a member of the Loyal Legion and of the G. A. R.
The remains will be returned to Lawrenceburg, Ind., for burial. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 10:30 Tuesday morning. Miss Liddell will accompany the remains East.
