years manager Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company in Phoebe, died at
Rock Creek, Wyoming, on Sunday morn
ing. May 18th, while on the way to his
mothers home in Omaha. During the
war he served his country in position of
great trust and responsibility, and some
times Of danger, having enlisted in the
Geographic branch OF the service when

At the time Of his death When he left
rs few had hopes that ne would live
many days. a deep sadness prevailed
this community when we saw him last.
This feeling was intensified at the news
of his death. To say. when man is
dead, that his life was pure and noble,
is common. But there was nothing COM
mon about the life of 10 Sears. 1t was
4 life unobtrusive to the world, yet carry
ing on always in its sphere faithfully,
earnestly and bravely an important part
Of the worlds work--a life devoted to
love and thoughtful care of his family
and life that was beautiful beyond COM
pare to those who had the happiness to
know him well. 1t does not rob death OF
all its sadness TO know that the brother
who is gone had no cause to fear it-that
he left no ranking bitterness in the
hearts OF enemies-that he walked mod
astly, yet steadily and fearlessly, forward
20 the end in accord with the Great Law;
but it does take away some OF the harsh
ness of the Universal Destroyer when we
ieel that he who has gone before us met
his fate smilingly without a regret. More
than this-when the sharper pains OF
grief shall have pas ;ed-let us hope that
our sadness may turn to a beautiful re-
membrance of what We loved in him. In
life he said he wished no mourning for
MS death. Loving, unsel6sh friend, we
are not, and we would not be, able to
hold back the tears that fall for you.
Human nature must run its course.
Sorrow shall have its time. But after
that the sweetness OF your memory will
linger with US always.
