IN MEMoRIAIm.

F0REMAN-In Meeker, on Saturday,
June 4, 1901, G. w. Foreman passed
away, In the 06th year Of his age.
The brief announcement of the
death Of Judge Foreman In last
weeks HERALD, appearing as 1t did
after going to press, did not permit of
any comment, SO 1t now becomes our
duty and privilege to pay that need
Of respect to his memory which his
virtues and prominence in the CONF
munity merits.
G. w. Foreman was born In
Virginia, January %, 1889. He came
Of good family and was educated at
the University of Virginia, where he
graduated as civil engineer. At
the breaking out of the civil war he
entered the Confederate service and
served with distinction under Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee until captured near the
close of the war by the Union forces.
Mr.. Foreman and Miss Anna Harris
of Randolph county, N. c., were
married thirty-seven years ago. Five
children were born Of the union,
three Of whom died young. The sur
viving children are Mrs. e. w. Bah
bitt, wife Of a prominent Pueblo busi-
ness man, and Elmo g. Foreman OF
White river. Mrs. Foreman died at
Pueblo eleven years ago.
Mr.. Foreman came to Colorado in
1878, locating first at Golden, where
he taught school for several years.
Later he moved to Saguache county,
where he followed his profession in
mineral surveying and laid out roads
In the San Juan region for the cele-
brated pathfinder, Otto Mears.
Deceased came to White river In
1886, where he soon became 9 prom
inent and well-known citizen. Since
the organization of Rio Blanco
county, Mr.. Foreman has been
county surveyor, superintendent Of
schools and county Judge; and has
always taken an active part In pol
itical affairs from the Democratic
standpoint
The funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon from the Metho-
dist church. J. l.. Mediation, John
A. Watson, r. Oldland, J. H. Col
tharp, H. A Wildhack and w. H.
Clark acted III pallbearers, and a large
cOncourse of citizens from all over
the county joined the sorrowing son
and daughter In following the re-
mains to their resting place In High
land cemetery.
Deceased was man Of marked in
dividuality; strong In his likes and
dislikes. Like most high-bred Vir-
ginians, he was generous and chival-
rous; faults he had as we'll as stsr-
ling virtues; his faults are buried
with him; his virtues only are re-
membered.
