was post master at Cameron. Idaho
which post Office was named for him
Wherever he has lived he has occupi,d
! positions OF honor aud trust, and dis
charged the duties of the same with the
greatest efficiency and faithfulness. In
this county in 1882 he was elected as

county official he won the admiration
OF the people of the county, and in 1884

The following remarks were made Iy
Rev. Mr. Boyd at the house Of the de-.
ceased on the day of the funeral:
"We ale met to-day to extend our
sympathy to the bereaved family and to
pay our last tribute of respect to
the memory OF the deceased. In his
death was thu loss OF noble son, a kind
husband and loving father. And we
commend the aged father, devoted wife
and fathcress children to the God of all
grace and truth aud love.
And we are all conscious of the fact
that in the death of Mr.. Cameron, the
whole community has lost a faithful of.
ficer, an upright citizen and a true man.
Man is the noblcst work of God; and
the deceased, in his life and character.
unaffected some of the noblest traits of
true manhood. We remember him with
pleasant recollections of friendship; but
he i, gone; that friendly vuice will be
heard no more. We commit his body TO
the earth. His soul has gone to God
who gave it, and we leave it in the pres
ence OF his Creator. But | have the
consciousness that my duty as a gospel
minister is not, on this occasion, fully
performed, without calling attention to
the fact, in this death, and the death of
so many among us, the voice of God may
be heard: at is appointed unto men
once to die and after death the
Life is mystery. We
c"me upon this scene of action. remain a
few years and then pass away. But do
death end all? Observation, and history
and scripture unite in replying in the
negative. Death does not end all. The
soul at the separation of the body con-
tnues t" exist. The body is composed
OF the same material that the earth il
composed or dust it is made and to
dust it will return. Not so, however,
with the soul. It's nature is spirited,
lmmaterial and incorporeal, and where
there is no composition of parts, there can
be no dissolution of them. Gods word
is the authority and Gods power the
warrant for this belief In the state in
which it is found at the separation from
the b"dy, it will continue throughout the
eternity. A crucifcd and risen Christ is
the hope of the Christian. In Him,
cath is swallowed up in victory. The
gospel of Christ has vanquished death
aud the grave. Through Him may ex-
claim, 80 death where is thy sti g, o
grave where is thy victory. The sting
OF death is sin, and the strength of s.n is
the law, but thanks be to God who Civ
eth us the victory through our J.ord
Jesus Chiist."
