OBITUARY..

Saturday evening. at O'Clock, T.
A. Sibley died at the Schalles ranch
on the lower end of the Florida mesa,
Mr.. Sibley was "a years of age.
His native state was Massachusetts,
his life being spent in the east until
after his marriage. A few years were
spent at Iowa Falls, Ia. but wien
his little daughter was 2 years old,
Mr.. 'Sibley took his family overland
to Oregon, and on this trip they had
several narrow escapes from the In
dians, which made the journey me-
morable.
The party reached their destination,
Fort Dalles, on the Columbia river,
safely. and for some time Mr.. Sibley
remained In the employ of the gov
ernment. His wages we're paid In
government scrip, which was sent to
San Francisco to be cashed. At one
time some $1,000 was sent by Gen.
Logan who was going to San Fran
cisco to meet his wife and daughter,
and sailed for home on the ship,
Brother Jonathan. When the vessel
made the return trip TO Oregon, she
went down. and all but two of her pas
sengers were drowned. The ship is
still at the bottom of the ocean. with
many thousands of dollars belonging
to government employees. stationed at
different places along the Pacific coast,
who cashed their scrip as Mr.. Sibley
did.
In 1886 Mr.. Sibley moved his family
to Durango. where he worked at the
Durango foundry for several years
and was generally known as "Old
Sib." For some time he had been
living on the Schalles ranch on the
Florida, with his daughter, Mrs. u. p
Schalles. His wife and two daughters
Mrs. Schalles and Mrs. John Weigg
man of Telluride, survive him. Mrs
Sibley is the sister of Mrs. j. P. Airy
and Mrs. c. G. Eddy both of this city
The funeral took place this after
noon at 2 o'clock from the undertaking
parlors Of Hood G. Ames, under the
auspices Of the A o. u. w. Rev. w
f. Bennett. pastor Of the First NJ e
| church, was in charge of the service
lnterment was at Greenmount
After life's ftful fever he sleeps
well" "The silver cord is loosed and
the golden bowl broken. the dust hath
returned to the earth as it was, and
the spirit unto God who gave it." The
| issues of life and death are In the
hands of the Giver of all good, and
| we may safely leave the spirit of T. A
Sibley in the hands of his Maker the
everything and everloving God.

The various pastors assisted in the
preliminary services. Rev. Mr.. Mo
rell then delivered his farewell ser
mon. taking the sixth verse of the
sixty-first chapter of Isaiah as his text
Ministers of Cod The address
that followed was one of the most elo-
quent 1t has been the pleasure OF our
people to listen to for long time.
The subject was thoroughly handled
by the speaker. THE president of the
United States occupies an exalted po-
sition as the servant of the people, but
to be minister of Almighty God was
the highest honor that man could at
tain to-" The pastor then at length
told about the duties of true Chris
tian minister-that he was to preach
the gospel unadulterated and throw all
the light possible on the subject for
the guidance of mankind. The minis
ters duties were clearly outlined and
the man of God must speak the truth
even though 1t does not always please
modern day people. Mr.. Morell de
scribed the duties of the minister OF
God so feryently and eloquently that
those composing the large audience
can not help but have better com.
prehension of the work, and know
that in presenting the word of God
the preacher is bound to tell the truth
and not place a construction on 1t to
please the people. The speaker in va
rious ways illustrated his remarks in
eloquent word pictures and carried
every one along with him
The sermon throughout was one that
must bear fruit. Surely no one i'm
bued with love could help but be
! impressed with the seriousness of life
and realize that I'VE are on this earth
but little time while yonder we will
abide for all eternity" and that the
short life should be subordinate tc
| the one everlasting.
At the close of the services Mr.. Mo
rell stepped from the platform and
every one present passed around an6
shook his hand, expressing kind words
and regret over his departure. One
of the most pleasing thoughts thai
win go with Mr.. Morell was the ex
pressions from a great many men
men of the worldwide took pains to
tell him that he had been a blessing
TO them, had helped them, made then
to see things in a different light, ant
had encouraged them to better ant
more Christian-like life. What better
eulogy could minister of Cod crave
| than knowing he had been hell
to his fellow man.
1t is hardly necessary for The Her
aid force to make the same state
ment. No one can hear Mr. Morel
preach and not be impressed with the
necessity Of living a better life and
we have no doubt the beneficial eff
fects of his pastorate in Durango will
be lasting,
Tomorrow morning Mr. Morell de
parts for his new home. Berwyn. a
beautiful suburb included within tht
corporate limits of Chicago, reached

The pastorate of Rev David Il. Mo
rell OF the First Presbyterian church
OF Durango closed in a halo of glory
last night, when the church was pack
ed TO overflowing by men and women
who have learned to love and admire
the man of God.
The special feature was the closing
OF every other Protestant church in
the city and uniting in the farewell
services, the pastors of the other
churches being on the platform from
which the sermon was delivered-R

Baptist church, Rev. Walton H Dog

all uniting in paying homage to the
worth and character of Mr.. Morell
The doors were thrown open early
and, although the service was not an
nounced to commence until 7:45, peo
pie began arriving at Z and kept up
steady flow until there was not
standing room. AT 1880 a delegation
of about forty, members of the Ma.
sonic order, marched in body to the
church and were given seats in the
center. A little later followed about
the same number of Elks in body,
the act being simply one of recogni-
ton of the esteem in which Mr.. Mo
rell is held. The front portion and
the aisles were filled with extra chairs,
all of which were occupied and late
comers found the vestibuie occupied
