A. c. Cleveland was one of the most
active men on White Pines stage for
many years, and had as much to do in
bringing White Pine to the attention of
the world as perhaps any other
man. He came to the county in the
early days after having been active in
the affairs of Washoe county for sew
eral years. Finally after the excite
ment at Treasurer Hill and Hamilton
subsided in the early '70's he went TO
Spring Valley in this county and soen
became the most prominent farmer
and stoekman in the State During his
busy life he filled many places Of trust
and honor and was chosen hy the Re
publican party as its candidate for
Congress once and for Governor once.
Many times he was selected as one Of
Nevava's S six delegates to national con
ventions He builded for himself and
family principalty in Spring Valley
and many a tramp and many pros
pector can testify to the worth Of A.
G. Cleveland for no one ever passed
the Cleveland home without catching
hold Of the latch string which was al
ways hanging on the outside. He died
suddenly of heart trouble in '03 while
sitting at his desk on the ranch at
Cleveland and State mourned when
his noble heart ceased to beat,
He died in August and his mortal
casket was packed in ice and brought
to Ely where j. b. Simpson, H. A.
Comins, w. ~ McGill and other pio-
neers received it with hearts full of
love for noble man. good friend and
kind neighbor He was placed in a
cellar back Of Mr.. McGill's 5 residence
and old friends and neighbors renewed
the ice daily for over a week waiting
the arrival of his heart broken wife
from California, where she was visiting
at the time the summons came. Big
Sim frequently speaks Of the heart
ache he endured while changing the
ice to preserve the body Of dear
friend. On Mrs Cieyeland's return
from California, she found her partner
of life time cold in the arms Of death,
packed solidly in cakes Of ice
"Cleve' as he was called by his
intimates, was laid away temporarily
in Ely cemetary. Mrs, Cleveland is
about to remove her loved piece of clay
to Reno, where she has prepared Il
substantial granite mausoieum, where
all that is mortal of one the best mon
who ever lived will be laid to his final
rest.
Can "Cleve' look back, we wonder,
on the scenes Of his successes and see
Robinson district as it is to-day. If he
can and is conscious of the part he
played he can well say II performed
my task well. =
Mrs. Cleveland sent Mr. M. L. Wood
man, a life long friend of Mr.. CleVe-
land, to Ely on Saturday to superintend
the work of taking up the remains and
to assist an undertaken from Reno who
arrived in Ely yesterday to prepare the
remains for shipment. Mr. Woodman
and other friends disinterred the re
mains and they will be shipped to Reno
