Obituary..

George w Pence died at his
home in Florence, Colorado, May
the 10th, 1902, after n brief i'll
ness. He was born in Platte
county, Missouri, January 10th,
1871, and had entered upon his
thirty-second year. From 1872
until 1896 he lived in DeKalb
count, and from there until his
death in the state of Colorado. He
was married in Denver, Colorado,
February Sth, 1899, to Miss Clara
Flineau, young lady well known
in King City He leaves the
widowed wife, father and mother,
Que sister, four brothers, and a
host of friends to mourn his early
death. The remains were brought
from Colorado and laid to rest in
the Winslow cemetery School
mates and friends in large nun
bers attended the services at the
Winslow church The sermon
was preached by James Froman,
friend of the family, assisted by
Rev Allison, of Union Star.
He was true as friend, upright
in life, kind and devoted as son,
brother and husband. Like the
giant oak, broken by the storm,
his life ends; like the rose just full
blown, he is taken away by death I;
like the soldier in the first battle,
he goes down in the conflict. His
bright morning of life so soon
eclipsed by the evening clouds and
reality of death He has passed
to the great beyond and his soul
rests with God. Let us live in
hope of better day, an immor-
tai life. May the consultations of
divine grace be with the bereaved
relatives in an hour when God
only can lift the burden and sor-
row and speak words of peace.
Quite a number of friends from
King City attended the services
and extend to the family their
sincere sympathy, Peace to the
memory of our departed brother -

the defense to the charges against that
officer be made at public hearing.
Following this is a letter from The

are inclined to think a mistake was
made in not having the whole hearing
in public The police are discredited
more by rumors even though they
may be unfounded. than by an open
