THE REAPER DEATH
Funeral Of the Late Henry
Eudey.
The Mortal Remains of Steven Rose
Consigned to the Tomb-Death
of Francis Lima.

Last Monday, May 81, at his home
in this city. Henry Eudey, surrounded
by his family and other relatives,
breathed his last, after an illness of
several months. Thus was an active
and successful life, fully rounded out,
peacefully closed. In his death this
county loses one of its most prominent
and prosperous citizens, but he has left
family of children who will do honor
to his name. Several Of bis sons have
already attained leading positions
among their fellows. and they will all
become, as their father has been, most
excellent citizens and careful business
men. To these young men the en-
enlargement OF every good citizen will
be freely given. The energy and fru-
gality OF the father has left them all
independent, so far as this world S
goods are concerned, and the business
training they have received from the
same careful and considerable parent,
insures their continued success in life.

followed, long procession of pedes-
trains bringing up the rear The
capacity of the church was inadequate
to accommodate the multitude, hun
dreds being obliged to remain outside
during the services. Rev. Morrow de-
livered the following sermon:
To-day We look out through the gray
mists, through the falling shadows,
through the running tears, because the
reaper we call death has cut down a
brother beloved. but, by and by, if we
are faithful, we shall come to the shin
ing top of life in God Himself, where
the fogs lift, and the shadows fall, and
tears no longer flow, and then we shall
see why we have been called upon to
part with our loved ones, just when it
seemed we needed them most.
IT'S hard to part with them. but We

long eternity together. and then This
earth will be looked back on like a low
ly home, and this life of ours be re-
mem bered Ikea short apprenticeship
to duty"
Some one has written, 'It is infamy
to die, and not be missed Our dear
Brother Eudey will be missed by young
and old alike in this town. You see
the proof in these gifts from the chill
sdren and from friends of long standing.
The presence of the members of the
order to which he belonged, Admiral
Dewey Lodge, No. 425, Sons of St.
George, testifies to the esteem in which
he was held by his brethren of that
society. Sadly Brother Eudey will be
missed by this church, of which he
was a generous supporter.
Our departed Brother, Henry Eudey,
was a native of Cornwall. England
He was born March %, 1929, and died
May q, 1901, aged Y years 2 months
and days. When a very young man
he left the shores of old England be-
hind, and after spending q year or two
in Australia, he came, in 1851, to Cali
fornia. So as pioneer he endured all
the hardships every one had to endure
in those days. Shortly before the war
between the North and South broke
out, he went to North Carolina to &C.
cept position there under the govern
ment, but at the close of the war he
returned to the Pacific Coast, and
after short time spent in Nevada, he
again became resident of this State,
SO for more than 30 years he has lived
In California; the last 20 of those years
Brother Eudey spent in Jackson. He
has been identified with all the inter-
ests of the town and has seen it develop
into the prosperous town it now is.
For 10 years Brother Eudey gave his
attention to mining interests and for
the past years in addition to his min
ing interests he was engaged in the
banking business. Our deceased
Brother was a public spirited citizen.
He wanted to see our town prosper and
he was willing and ready to help in
every way in his power. For the past
Is years he served as School Trustee
and he was ever on the watch to ad-
vance the cause of education. Little
wonder is it that all the teachers in
jackson feel they have lost a personal
friend, and the children one who was
always Interested in their welfare.
For 20 years Brother Eudey and the
dear wife who survives him, have
walked LIES pathway together. Seven
children, five sons and two daughters,
came into their home to brighten and
bless it. All are now living and they
are family of whom any father and
mother might well be proud. Brother
Eudey loved his home, his wife and his
family, and while he exacted obedience
from his children and was firm with
them, he loved them as the apple of
his eye. To his children Brother
Eudey has left the rich legacy of an
honOrsd name. "a good character is
The best tombstone" Those who loved
Brother Eudey and were helped by
him will remember him when these
beautiful flowers lying all about his
bier are withered. Let US carve our
name on hearts and not on marble.
BROTHER Eudey viii be remem bered as
a good citizen, kind and helpful
friend, devoted husband and wise
and loving father. Oh! sweetly rest
dear Brother Eudey for
Sweet is the slumber wherewith the King,
Hath caused the weary to rest!
For, sleeping, they hear the angels sing,
And lean on the Masters breast
Only year ago our deceased Brother
