MEMORIAL.

Oh, Brother! forever loved, forever dear!
What fruit1ess tears have bathed thy honoured
bier;
What'sighs re-echoed to thy parting breath,
Whilst thou was struggling with the pangs of
death;
Could tears retard the tyrant in his course;
Could signs avert his darts re1e nt1ess force;
Could manhood; virtue claim short delay,
Or nob1eness charm the spectre from his prey
Thou still hadst lived to bless our aching sight,
Thy brothers honor and thy friends delight.
If yet thy humble spirit hover nigh
The spot where now thy Wondering ashes lie,
Here wilt thou read, recorded on our hearts,
grief too deep to trust the scu1ptor's art
No marble marks thy couch of 1ow1y sleep,
But living statues there are seen to weep;
Aff1iction's semb1ance bends not DER thy tomb
Aff1ictions self dep1ores thy untime1y doom.
But wherefore weep? Thy match1ess spirit
scars
Beyond where splendid shines the orb of day,
And weeping angels lead thee to those bowers
Where endless pleasures virtues deeds repay.
But, who with us will hold thy former place;
Thine image, what new friendship can efface;
All, none! A brotl ier's tears will cease to flow,
Time will assuage brothers. woes;
To all. save us, is consolation known,
While thy brothers. friendship signs alone.
I'm affectionate memory of our departed
brother, DR.. L. M. Scherer. By A. M. Worth

OBITUARY.

Never during our newspaper career
in Covina, has it become our sad duty
to chronicle the death of father and
son in one week, yet this great ca1am-
ity has befa11en the Woodwork family
in the past few days, father and son
both dying from natural causes in the
same house within few hours of
each other.
Lafayette d. Woodwork, ST., died
shortly before midnight on Wednes-
day, March 8, at his home in Irwin
dale, and within three hours his son,
Joel N. Woodwork, of Los Angeles,
also passed over to the Great>Beyond.
The funeral services for L. D.
Woodworth, in charge Of the Rev.
Harcourt w. Peck, of the Methodist
Church, were held from his late resi-
dence on Saturday, the interment
taking place at the Oakda1e cemetery.
L. D. Woodwork was a native Of
Chittenden county, Vermont, where
he was born May 10, 1924. When a
small boy he moved with his parents,
Jabez and Mehitab1e SHAW Wood
worth, to Franklin county,.
At the age Of D years he started
out in life for himself, engaging in
farming and stock raising at Kenosha,
WISCONSIN. In 1857 he crossed the
plains to California and engaged in
mining, returning to Wisconsin after
two years. He was married Nov. 28,
1847, to Miss Eliza Smith, of Salem,
Wis, who survives him.
To this union were born eight chill
dren-Mrs. Francis Patterson, of Sioux
City, Iowa; Mrs. Mary Vincent, of
Covina; ]. N. Woodworth, of Los
Angeles; Mrs. Emma Larrabee, of
Pleasant Prairie, Wis; Harry p.
Woodwork, of Kenosha, Wis; w. c..
and L. D. Woodwork, Jr., of Irwin
dale, and Mrs. Lille Hoskins, of CO.
vina.
The deceased was strong charac-
ter. He never grew old and his happy
smile and warm hand shake will lin
ger long in the memory of innumera-
bic friends and neighbors. The death
of joel N. Woodwork so quickly fol-
| lowing his fathers came as terrible
blow to his family. He was born at
Bristol, Kenosha county, Wis, March
II, 1851, and came with his family in
October last from Sioux City to Los
Angeles. Argus.

RE ELECT MOTH.
City Engineer is Selected For Another
Term by the Council.


Term by the Council.
The City Council at it's meeting
Monday night decided by unanimous
vote to re-e1ect Robert Moth as the
engineer of the city. This is the be-
ginning of the fourth term of Mr..
Moth and the fact that the Council Sc
1ected him without dissenting vote
shows that he has given the city the
service that had been expected of
him.
In e1ecting Mr.. Moth the Council
has certainly carried out the wishes
of the tax payers of the city for no
man has ever given the city more con-
scientious services. During the term
Of Mr. Moth he has been kept busy
planning improvements for the city
and the work has always been done in
way that reflected credit on the de-
partment of which he IS the head.
Mr.. Moth is now busi1y engaged in
planning new sewer system and has
taken upon his shoulders this great
work. Mr.. Moth will undoubtedly be
reelected as superintendent of the
water department atthe next meeting
Of the Board Of Water Commissioners.

DEATH CT DR.. L. d. soHERER.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 8, 1904.
"a. NJ. Worth, secretary Washburn
Lodge No. las, r. & A. M:
Dear Sir and Brother:-It is with
sadness that write, that our dearly
beloved brother DR.. L. d. Scherer
died last night after long illness.
/ first met DR.. Scherer in 1873. For
thirty years we have been bosom
friends and companions. In all of
these years have never known him
to do, say or neglect to be in the full
est sense friend, brother and helper
to all mankind. He was one of Gods
noblest works of creation. Kind,
generous, benevolent, charitable and
forgiving. He gave his life by over
work to help and save the suffering
and afflicted who appealed to him for
aid in dire distress.
He followed his profession because
he loved it, because he was a success
in restoring the afflicted to health,
making hearts happy all around him.
He was taken with severe attack
of Inflammation Of the bowels. When
he was able to leave his room I spent
partsof the day with him and we dined
together.
Demands were made for his services
before he was fairly able to resume
his practice. A relapse followed.
Getting better they took him to the
coast at Long Beach. He caught
cold, came home and 1apsed into un-
consciousness for several days before
he died. spent most of last Sunday,
the 18th of February, with him. He
did not recognize me nor speak.
The doctor had an immense practice
at home and at his office up town
where he met hundreds Of patients
from 2 to s O'Clock p. m. Arriving at
home he often drove twelve miles to
respond to calls made during the
afternoon, arriving home at midnight,
with nothing to eat since noon, and
often called up before morning. Hun
dreds of poor will miss him, so many
of such he treated and presented no
bill. Everybody loved him. Our
lodge has lost one of it's most truly
fraterna1 members. All! Yes
'sWe shall meet but we ska11 miss him,
There will be one vacant chair.
We shall 1inger to caress him,
AS: we close our evening prayer
Fraterna11y yours,
