OLD TIME FUNERALS.
When Leadvilie Did the "Proper Thing
For Dead Men.


10 one who passes along tno streets OF
Lcadville now thcro is just ono feature
IN particular which serves ~ mark Of
comparison Of tho Lcadville OF today
with the mining camp Of thirteen years
ago. Lcadvillo now Is respectable,
staid and as solemn us n mining city
can be, but 1t isn't tho solemnity In tho
abstract which strikes one now. It Is
specific solemnity which concerns
itself with funerals.
To one who has lived in the past, when
every funeral was an occasion for as
much celebration as u circus, the quiet
and sedate cortege moving along Chest
nut street today is something not to be
considered. 1t is too gloomy to suit tho
old timer; but. alasi the old timer Is no
more.
In 1879 the town was wild. Every-
body carried q "gun"-not In hts pocket.

violent death. Added to this the work

in the valley ut work night and day.
This may sound like exaggcration, but
it isn't. The twinkling lights In tho
valley presented grewsomo appearance
at night and moro 20 when their purpose
was known. They lit the gravediggers
at work. Pneumonia was fearful

they could.
Rev. I. J. Mackey was tho most pop
ular Clergyman In town at that time.
Hc was loved by the good people and
respected, almost venerated. by tho
gamblers and the miners, which doesn't
imply that miners were not In them
selves reputable people. Whenever o
miner or n sporting man or woman died
Il was Parson Mackey who was called
In. There was one day In particular
when tho parson held four funerals, and
that was the record. -Four was fro
