Little Jarman. the two year old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Q. Adams, and
grandson Of Mrs. Rose B. Jarman. late
Of this city, died in their new home,
Torrinaton. Wyoming. August l. 1911.
The news Of his death came as a great
shock to their many friends and relatives
here. all Of whom deeply sympathize
with them in their great bereavement.
Little %arman was a bright. beautiful
little follow, and the pet and idol Of his
home, and being an only child was
almost worshipped as such.
A little life gone out from earth.
A little soul gone up TO God:
Only little form of clay,
Lying beneath the sod.
A beautiful spirit shines in heaven,
Shines like a star of dazzling light,
A jewel unto our Savior given,
Precious, pure and bright.
Cease weeping then. por stricken ones,
Your darling baby boy,
Is now an angel-fair as light.
In that home Of life and JOY.
And sometime, there again you'll clasp,
Him to your hearts once more,
And look into his baby face,
And kiss IL Ger and Ger.
And fold him tenderly in your arms,
As in happiest days of yore,
With, Oh the precious, blessed thought,
He's yours, to part no more.
Cousin Pallie.

his death brought genuine sorrow and
regret to a community where he was
born and reared, and where he was
known 10 every man, woman and child
as a whole souled, companionable man,
for his happy disposition at all times,
and under all conditions, and a geniality
that was rare. Tut Burnam made a
friend of everybody with whom he be-
came acquainted, and his friendship was
as strong, for those he knew were his
friends, as it was possible for it to be.
He expressed his opinion on all ques-
lions, openly. without fear or favor. His
gentlemanly bearing and strong charac-
ter gathered round him a friendship
that few men enjoyed. Those who knew
him best loved him most. To the de-
voted wife and children the coincidence
and sympathy of the community is ex-
tended, and the consolation is offered
that he has left priceless legacy Of a
life well spent in doing unto others as
he would have them do unto him." His
life was an open book, and while his
faults were as the faults Of other men,
he had no apologies to make, no excuses
to offer His life was lived with a flu
ture as the poet penned it:
So live that when thy summons comes,
To join that enumerable caravan
Which moves to that mysterious realm.
Go not like the quarry slave at night
ScOurged TO his dungeon
But by an. unfaultering trust approach
thy grave
Edwin Tut Burnam was born in Rich
mond, KY, in May, 1864, and was the
son of Curtis F. and Sara Rollins Bur
nam. He was educated at Central Uni
versity and the University Of Virginia,
from which latter place he was gradual
ed from the law school with hOnors. He
was admitted to the bar and practiced
law in Richmond, but was never an ag-
gressive practitioner, prefering other
lines of business. He was elected TO the
legislature from Madison county during
the celebrated Hunter-Blackburn con
test for the Senatorship, and was one of
the Republican candidates closest
friends. In December, 1901, he was
married to Miss Jesse Kennedy, Of Gin
cinnati, and she with two children sur
vive him, Mr.. Burnam held many pos
tions Of trust during his life and served
his fellowman we'll His record in pub
lie life was worthy Of emulation. Dur
ing the term of Samuel II. Stone, who
was Auditor under Gov Bradley, Mr..
Burnam served as Deputy Insurance
Commissioner, and the records of his
official dOings attest his wonderful ex-
ecutive ability. At the time of his
death he was Referee in Bankruptcy for
Madison, Clark and Estill counties and
had often held the position of Chairman
of the Republican County Committee
besides being prominent in political cir
cles of his party in his county, district
and State. Judge A. r. Burnam; r. r.
Burnam and Thompson Burnam, all OF
this city, are brothers surviving, besides
two sisters, Mrs. Waller Bennett, and
Miss Lucia Burnam, who is now in Italy.
The funeral services were conducted
Tuesday afternoon at the home by Rev.
E. B. Barnes, assisted by Rev. Edmund
Burnam and the Elks Lodge OF Rich
mond, of which Mr. Burnam was a be-
loved member.
