Members of the Masonic fraternity and
many old friends of the deceased met the
train bearing the body at the depot.
They escorted the remains to the Helena
burying grounds direct from the station,
the only services being those performed
by the Masons at the grave. Many of
the prominent citizens of Helena who
are not members of the Masonic ~fratern-
ity gathered around the grave of their
departed friend and with bowed head
listened to the impressive Masonic ser
vices. The following resolutions were
adopted yesterday by the Masons in
Great Falls:
The journey of live lies along the dark
valley of the shadow of death. The grim
destroyer has again made inroads upon
our ranks. and taken from our midst our
beloved brother. Jesse f. Taylor, who,
besides being Il member of the Masonic
fraternity of long standing. vas an hon
orable and upright citizen of our com
monwealth. He was identified with the
early history Of Montana, and was con
spicuous. both by precept and example,
in laying the foundation of our present
prosperity as a state.
Recognizing his sterling qualities of
head and heart. his fellow citizens re-
peatedly honored him. as likewise them
selves. by placing him in important pub.
lie offices. the duties of which were per
formed by him with great credit and the
highest ability. The community owes
him "A debt Of gratitude for his noble
services in the Legislature of Montana in
promoting aud creating the county OF
Cascade. He became identified with
Great Falls at an early date in its his
tory. and was at all times and places the
loyal and steadfast friend of the young
city.
He possessed in "A striking degree those
noble attributes of character that are a
once the bright and shining lights OF
our fraternity and the characteristics OF
an honorable and upright citizen. Ht
was generous and charitable in al
things. He had a genial, gentle ant
kindly heart, In him there was no sham
no disguise. no pretense. He was a true
friend. The true qualities of his
soul. the open nature of his heart car
be attested by all who knew him
well. He was "a years old. He spent
the prime of his life with and among us
He leaves behind three sons and two
} grandchildren, and a legion of friends.
We recommend that this slight trib
ute to his memory be spread upon the
records Of our lodge. and published in
the newspapers of this city, and that &
copy be furnished the family of our de
ceased brother.

In the legislature Mr.. Taylor earned a
reputation all ovcr Ohio as a careful
and hard working member of the finance
committee. He was chairman of this
important committee III the SEVENTEEN

the record made by him in this trying
position which induced his party recent
ly to honor IL so young with its nomi-
nation for so important a post as secre-
tary of state, which is this year the head
