LAST RITES
ARE PERFORMEDFOR
]. 7. WILLIAMS
PIONEER OF NYE COUNTY is
BURIED WITH PYTHIAN
SERVICES.

In a picturesque spot on the
Williams ranch at Hot Creek, the
remains of Joseph Thomas Williams
were placed at rest at 8 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, beside a son
who preceded his father to the
other shore seventeen years ago
The ceremonies were conducted un-
der the auspices of the knights of
Pythias and ritualistic services were
held both at the residence and the
grave.
At the residence l.. A. Conley
read the eulogy and later at the
grave oficiated in like capacity.
The coffin was conducted to the
last resting place by eight pail
bearers, all members of the Miz-
pah lodge No. Is, Knights of Ply
thias, while the bereaved family
and friends followed. The plot is
situated about a mile distant from
the mansion. Every neighbor in
the vicinity of the Williams ranch
was present to pay their respects
to the one who had blazed the way
into this desert section.
The delegation from this city,
which left here at o'clock yester-
day morning, consisted of l.. A.
Conley, DR.. ]. C. Cowden, B. D.
Stone, Letson Ballet, E. J. Briggs,
o. e. Hampton, J. E. McCambridge
and w. w. Booth They arrived
at the ranch about noon and at
the completion of the services re-
turned to this city, arriving about

the demise of Mr.. Williams or the
attendance at his funeral would
have been the largest ever held
in that section of the country. He
numbered his friends by the score
and it has been said that he did
not have an enemy in the entire
state.
His friendship was not of the
passing kind, and for this he was
honored by all with whom he came
in contact. By his passing Nye
county, and the state of Nevada
as we'll, has lost an honored resi-.
dent; one who spent his time in
doing good for his fellow men
while the Knights of Pythias, oil
which he was veteran member
and only year ago was awarded
a veterans jewel. has lost a use

RECEIVES NEWS OF
fathers Death
DIR. SINCLAIR PASSES AWAY AT
CARSON YESTERDAY
MORNING.

W. j. Sinclair, chief of the fire
department, yesterday morning re-
ceived a telegram from Carson an
nouncing that his father, DR.. Clark
Sinclair, had died suddenly in that
city. Mr.. Sinclair Immediately de-
parted for the north on the morn
ing train. The dispatch did not
state the cause of his parents de-
mise, and a letter received only a
few days ago contained no mention
of illness.
DR.. Clark Sinclair was one of the
pioneers of Bridgeport, California,
and only a few months ago moved
to Carson City. About a year ago
his wife died near Bridgeport after
short illness, and this loss in a
way may be responsible for his
death. He is survived by two chill
dren, one of whom, a daughter,
Mrs. c. E. Wedertz, is a resident
of Bridgeport.
