The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1891-11-26

Obitu airy.

The last sacred rites of the Catholic
Church were performed over the remains
of Ex.County Clerk, L, H. Pierson, the
Rev. Father McManus officiating at the
Phoebe Hotel, Saturday, Nov. 2lst.
After the services every available We.
hicle was in readiness to convey the rel
atives and friends to the cemetery, in
addition to which about 200 followed on
foot to pay final tribute of respect to
their departed friend and townsman.
The deceased had fingered in pain for
the past three months and seemed re.
lieved when he knew the end was near.
1t was Friday morning when the usual
funeral notices, clothed in their somtre
robes of black, again unfolded their tale
of death and cast a gloom over all who
came within their reach From the
stalwart forms of men, with whom the
deceased had been on terms of friendship,
to the tender hearts of children, whose
love the gentleness of his nature had
won, the cC,d discordant lords fell
allie.
The first BON and ONLY son Of an aged
mother, whose care ard comfort were
always foremost in his minds, has been
taken from her in the prime of manhood.
Aside from her daughter and many
friends who are here to console her, that
mother. borne down with grief, will find
her highest consolation in The conviction
that while in this life, her sons heart
beat always best for Ter; in the life be.
yond, unhs mpered by the bonds of
earth, his higher and better self will
never cease TO wait and wadch for mother.
TO the eye of faith, death is the un.
changing of soul, but to us, timid NOR
tails as we are, his approach ever fills
the mind with dismay, for to the mere
external sense death ends all. The
tongue is stilled, the lustre of the eye is
gone and to the most passionate appeals
Of love there is no response.
We succumb to the inevitable, prince
and peasant alike. From it there is no
escape, and blessed are they who ac-
cept it in trust and resignation.
