Death of Cant. Thomas PriestleH.

/! Another highly respected, public
spirited citizen has been called to his
long home Captain Thomas Priestley
/ died at three o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, at his residence in this city. To
his near neighbors and friends the
event was not unexpected. About eight
weeks ago, while at North Yakima,
Washington, he was taken seriously i'll,
and physicians there shortly afterward
pronounced the disease to be cancer of
stomach. As his condition did not
improve, he determined to make an
effort to reach his home in this city
and arrived here accompanied by his
wife and family, on Saturday, July 5th
He was very feeble, but patient and
cheerful, and delighted to be with his
old neighbors and acquaintance once
more. His friends hoped, against hope.
that the fearful maIady with which he
was afflicted might be overcome; but
despite all efforts of the physicians
who were called to attend him, and
the most careful nursing, he was COM
PEELED to yield, and death came to him
as a blessed release from his earthly
WEAKNESS and suffering. He had
borne his trials with a fortitude that
was remarkable, patiently awaiting the
result of his sickness, without murmur
or complaint, and when the final hour
smiling, and without struggle,
he sank upon his pillow like one who
g lies down to pleasant dreams"
The deceased was the eldest son of
George and Ellen w. Priestley, and
was born in Leeds, England, Jan.
Doth, 1886; he came to this country
with his parents, who settled in
Mineral Point in 1888. He grew to
manhood, and followed the business of
manufacturer and deales in harness
and saddlery. In 1860 he went west,
but returned the following year, and
enlisted in Co. E. 18th Wis. Vol. Inf
He was promoted, and commissioned
Captain of Co. B., Both Wis. Vol
Inf, and remained in the service until
Sept. Goth. 1865, when he returned to
NJ ineral Point, and re-engaged in
business. He was a prominent Mason,
and held the highest offices in the
several bodies of the order, including
Master, High Priest, and Eminent
Commander. He held various positions
of public trust. He was assistant
assessor of internal revenue for Iowa
county, and held the position of city
superintendent of schools for six
years, and was afterwards elected
mayor. In the fall of 1886 he was
appointed, by President Cleveland,
Indian Agent at Yakima, Washing
ton. He held the position until about
two months ago, and discharged his
duties with such ability and fidelity,
that he was regarded by the depart
ment as one of the best officers in the
service of the government. He was
stricken down in the prime of man
hood, with high hopes and purposes
before him. His name and memory
will be cherished as one in Hhom the
elements so mixed - that nature might
stand up and say to all the world this
was a man."
To his grief stricken wife and
family very many hearts go out in
deep sympathy
The funeral will take place this,
Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock,
under the auspices of Mineral Point
Lodge, F. & A. NJ, with interment in
Graceland cemetery.
