ceremonies were Mrs. L. D. Lewelling.
Miss Louise Leweliing. Miss Ruth Level
ling and Mrs. W. W. Miller of Arkansas
City, a sister of Mrs. Lewelling.

and Rev. Thayer of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church offered prayer. At

Nearer My God to Thee
L. T. Naftzger. one Of the directors of
the movement, was master of ceremonies.
He introduced Rev. Thayer who made a
short address. The speaker was the one
who spoke the last words over the body
of the dead governor as he was laid TO
rest a little more than a year ago. He
compared the life of Mr.. Lewelling with
that of President Mckinley. Both men
were noted for their gentleness. 1t was
his opinion that the ex-governor would be
remembered more because of his deed
prompted by his heart than those prompt
ed by his head.
r. A .Sankey was the second speaker
introduced. He spoke OF the different
line of work taken up by the dead man
and his great zeal in procuring justice to
all men. AS the speaker knew him tha
governor was q genial companion. a gen
erous friend and loving husband and
father.
Rev. Then of the Catholic church was
then introduced. He spoke of the unset
fishness Of men in erecting the monument
to the memory Of the ex-governor. In
giving an estimate of the deeds of our fell
lows we but give a measure of ourselves.
in honoring the dead it is not done for
the dead, but that the living may see the
lesson the dead tried 10 teach.
Governor Lewelling always made self,
subservient TO the cause he was working
for. He cared more for humanity's well
fare than he did for his own. He advocat-
ed the causes that he thought would lead
to the uplifting of mankind"
The ceremonies closed with song

the prayer by Rev. Thayer.
