The deceased was Il native Of Penn
~sylvania, but had been in the far west
eighteen or twenty years and was
among the first who pitched their tent
in the Judith mountains, when gold
was discovered in 1880, though he had
followed the pursuit of a hunter in this
region several years before. 1t is said
he was first attacked with hemorrhage
of the lungs while in camp at what is
now the site Of Fort Maginnis, some
eight years ago. No doubt to the hard
ships and exposures encountered by
the adventurous gold seekers and hunt
ers of hat period can he attributed the
termination of that terrible and incur
able disease, consumption. For weeks
he has been gradually failing and his
many friends have been silently but
sadly waiting the knell of his olsen
thrallment from the tenacious and pro-
c~rastinating disease. On the evening
of Saturday, Nov. 29th, George Lenhart
passed peacefully and quietly away.
Those who knew him best feel most
keenly the pangs Of sorrow. He was
kind, courageous and honorable and
there could he no more fitting tribute
to his worth and memory than was
manifested in the large and solemn pro-
cession that followed the corpse to its
last resting place.
The funeral took place on Monday
