He and my father used to get into all kinds of mischief in the little town where they grew up. He was an Assayer and Clerk. He died of nephritis. After he got sick, he spent all his money on trying to get well. When he ran out of money, he came home and brought with him a correspondence course on chiropody. He told my father to do the course and give him treatment. Wet Mountain Tribune January 4, 1924 Long Suffering Ended. Ernest Figge passed away in Walsenburg on December 31, 1923, of Bright's disease, aged 22 years and 1 month. The deceased was born and reared in Silver Cliff, and was numbered among the more genteel young men of our county, and his death will prove a severe shock not only to the sorrowing family and relatives, but to a wide acquaintanceship throughout this valley as well. He had been a sufferer of the dread disease for about five years, and while everything possible was done for him, his case was beyond the ken of man, and death came as a relief to his great suffering. Surviving him are the father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Figge, and two brothers and two sisters, who have the sympathy of all in their hour of great sorrow. The funeral will be held from the home at 10:30 a. m. today (Friday) with a service at the Lutheran church in this city at 11 o'clock, the Rev. Mr. Heerwagen officiating. Services in English. Burial will be made in the Silver Cliff cemetery beside the graves of his grandparents. The list of pallbearers has been selected from his associates and friends as follows: Carl Hanssen, Lawrence Anderson, Hugo Lange, W. Brandenburg, Lige Manning and August Kelling.
