OBITUARY.
All that is mortal of Hartman j.
Pyle, late of Pueblo, Colo, was laid
to rest in Forest cemetery, June 10,
1908. He was born in Westchester
County, Pennsylvania, August "A,
1852, of Quaker parents. The burden
of life was lsid upon him at tender
age. His fathers death, at the age
of thirteen, left him with the care of
a widowed mother, one brother and
two sisters. These he educated; him
self being in consequence deprived
of school privileges. Toiling. by day
and studying at night he acquired
| with application and travel an edu-
cation of both the world and .litera-
ture such as is acquired by few. He
became Mason at the age of 81 and
few men follow so faithfully and con-
scientiously the principles and pre-
cepts of that ORDER He filed every
chair until he reached the 32nd de-
gree and was urged to accept the
33rd. He!was an active member and
) worker in Masonic Lodges for twenty
b. years when the partial loss of bis
voice deprived him of the privilege
of active work in the order which he
80 greatly loved. He was also a mem
Der of the Order of Mystic Shrine.
Of an inventive mind he has left to
the world an invention of great merit
! and possibilities, having embodied
within it new principle in electricity.

the earthly benefits OF his toll and
thought, but those who loved him so
we'll and watched by him as he near
ed the end of life's journey, and were
privileged to see the expression in
the beautiful eyes of the wonderful
vision which he beheld as the spirit
took it's fight, know that the COM
pepsation of earth was as naught
compared with the greatness and
grandeur of the reward which was
his, Of rarely sympathetic nature
his heart and hand ever responded
to the call of distress and sorrow.
Many a kind deed was done by the
wsyside, many life was frightened
? and made better. His life was a
blessing, his death an inspiration
and Peace ia his. "M.p
