Ouray County

An autopsy has confirmed.

Donna Munson's body had been partially eaten by a bear or bears when it was found outside her home in Ouray County in southwestern Colorado on Friday, but Colorado Division of Wildlife officials couldn't immediately confirm what caused her death.

County Sheriff Dominic Matibi said Monday that an autopsy performed in neighboring Montrose County showed Munson had scratches and maul marks consistent with being attacked by a bear.

She had no signs of heart damage, ruling out the possibility that she died of a heart attack before being attacked.

This county lasted for just three days in 1883.

Local officials actually created the county by renaming Ouray County, and then they changed their minds and changed it back.

My guess is because Ouray, O-U-R-A-Y, was a lot easier to spell than Oncomhagray.

Yeah, that would be my guess.

140 years later, Our Ray County still exists.

It's only got a population of about 4,800 people, and it's actually known as the Switzerland of America because of its rugged mountain topography.

So there you go.

When people say we live in a small county or a big county or a next-to-nothing county, whatever the case may be, you can tell them about Our Ray County.

So, yeah.

But no, I was like, for those who may not know, I got a return invite to the Ouray County Republican Party Lincoln Day dinner.

You know, I've been waiting all week for this update.

Like, I didn't even ask you no questions about it because I wanted to know about this.
