IN MEMORIAM.
James Pitts Sibley.

DIED.-In this village on Friday afternoon,
July 18th, James Pitts Sibley, aged So years.
Thus have we to record the passing
away from this life another of our oldest
citizens. Mr.. Sibley was born, reared
and lived his entire life in our midst,
consequently not many men were better
known than he by our people generally
nor any more sincerely respected. OF a
correct life, of social habit and of a
genial disposition he was we'll fitted, not
only to make friends, but to retain them
when made. His manner was unpre-
ten ling and his nature somewhat retir-
ing preferring rather the every day
quiet pursuing of an even tenor of way
rather than the exciting stir and noise of
the crowd. He not only lived in his
family but for them, approaching great
ly the quiet of home. Added to all this
he was a religious man, being in mem
bership with the Methodist Episcopal
Church of this village, having made a
Christian profession some years ago I'M
der the ministry of Rev. Mr.. Grant In
this as in all else he was quiet and I'M
pretending, modestly approving his faith
and yet ready to say out of his heart
81 know whom 1 have believed" We
shall miss his familiar face on the street
and in the shop, but most of all he will
be missed in the home. May our Hea-
venly Father out of mis- all all-abounding
love vouchsafe his sustaining grace in all
needed sufficiently to this home and to
these hearts that are so greatly 'strick-
en-, smitten and afflicted by this dispen-
sation of SORROW" and may they hear
above all the sadness of the hour the
Voice of the loving Saviour saying 81
will never leave thee nor forsake thee"
Funeral services were held in the
family home on Sunday afternoon con-
Quoted by his pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Heaxt
and attended by large company of SYM
pathizing friends and neighbors, after
which he was laid solemnly and gently
to his rest in our cemetery amid the re-
firing sunlight of the Sabbath.
The family take this opportunity to ex-
press their sincere thanks to their friends
and others who by many acts of sympa-
thy and kindly service have sought to
relieve the affliction which has fallen
upon them. They also desire to thank
their frierds for the many beautiful
floral offerings. &c.

prospecting and placer mining in Summit
county, and was one of the party of six
who discovered the Quandry lode at the
head of Blue River in 1860 (now known
as the Monte Cristo mine), the first sill
yer mine located in Colorado, and repre-
sented Summit county in the Legislature
in the session of 1867 and 1868.
In 1872 he joined the prospectors for
silver on Mount Lincoln in Park county,
where he continued to follow mining in
all its various phases, and running pack
trains bringing down the ore from the
high attitudes of Lincoln and Brossen
during all the danger and hardships and
the winter storms of many years.
Though not financially successful he
proved himself to be one of the most
competent miners of the State.
In 1886 he was appointed custodian of
the extensive plant of the Sovereign
Mining Company, which position he had
filed until forced to resign, on account
of heart failure, brought on no doubt by
too long continued residence of that high
altitude He came to Denver two or
three months ago.
The generous kind-heartedness of Mr.
Pierce was proverbial, and the affection
ate regard in which he was held by the
pioneers of Summit and Park counties
was remarkable. They will be gratified
to know that during his illness he was
watched over by his devoted wife and
cared for by faithful friends and compe-
tent physicians, and that his death
though sudden was not painful. Brother
comrades of the Grand Army joined his
friends in bearing his remains to the
Riverside cemetery.-Denuer RepubR-
can.
Deceased was nephew of the late Jas.
A. Pierce of Bennington, and was named
after his uncle.

day, and the many guests, mostly rela-
tives, entered heartily into the spirit of

benediction. The young couple were
self-possessed and gracefully received the
hearty congratulations of their friends.
