in the senate and to the people Of
Nevada, where his life work was
largely done. Mrs. Nixon and her
son Bertram who had left Reno for
Washington upon receipt of the
senator's critical illness were inter
cepted en- route by the news of his
death, Mrs. Nixon left the east
bound train at Chyenne, Wyoming,
and returned to Reno. while the son
met the funeral party at Chicago,
and accompanied the remains of his
father back to his former home.
The body is expected to arrive in
Reno tomorrow.
Before the funeral party left
Washington, brief service was held
Friday afternoon, attended by Presi-
dent Taft together with a number of
the upper house, and memorial reso-
lutlons were passed in his honor.
Senator Newlands. Representative
Roberts, and Dwight Jones, who was
Senator Nixon's private secretary
are accompanying the remains to
Reno
George S. Nixon was a native of
Newcastle, Placer county, Calf, and
was born April End, 1860. He was
the son of J. II. and May (Estelle)
Nixon, who crossed the plains to Cali
fornia in 1851 and located at
Doten's Bar, where the senior Nixon
became a successful rancher.
Senator Nixon's minority was
passed at Newcastle. AS a boy he
was industrious, but devoted con-
siderable time to hunting, and was
known for his proficiency in quail
hunting, his skill in this line earn
ing him some money. By the time
he was nineteen, he had accumulat-
ed sufficient savings to enter a school
of telegraphy. and subsequently he
secured a situation as operator in
the employ of the Southern Pacific
railroad at Browns station In Ne
vada. Until he had arrived at the
age of seventeen he had never rid
den on a railroad train, and his boy
hood days gave no hint as to the
high honors he was destined to at
tain in finance, and in the hearts OF
the citizens of Nevada. He was a
self-made man. and his success
was brought about through per-
sistent effort and a principle in life

institution. He ever after maintain
ed an interest in this bank and was
one of its heaviest stockholders al
the time of his death.
January %. 1887, he married
Miss Kate Imogene Bacon. native of
Princeton, Illinois, from which hap
py union there is one son, Bertram
Estell Nixon, now about twenty-one
years old.
His position and influence In
banking circles led naturally to op-
portunities for political honor. He
served as a member of the Nevada
legislature in 1912, and was elect
ed to the United States senate to
succeed Hon. William NJ Stewart for
the term beginning March 4, 1905.
He was renominated without opposi-
ton and reelected by popular vote.
or what is commonly known as the
Oregon plan. The legislature, while
democratic by four majority, ratifi-
ed his selection by the people unani-
mously His term would have ex-
pired in March, 1917.
Soon after the first Tonopah ex-
element George Wingfield, then in
Winnemucea, became imbued with
the mining fever and was partly
backed by Nixon in coming to south
ern Nevada. Later, in response to a
letter from Wingfield he consented
to make the trip to Tonopah where,
in association with other business
men of that camp, he financed a
small banking concern and, Joining
! with Wingfield in various mining en-
terprises, laid the foundation of a
fortune that is estimated at fully
100000 net.
In partnership with Mr.. Wingfield,
Senator Nixon acquired control of
the properties now forming the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany and upon the organization of
that company Nixon was made presi-
dent. Later on he decided to dis
pose of his mining interests and to
devote his time and efforts to his
banking interests and to politics. An
arrangement was entered into be-
tween the partners whereby Mr.
Wingfield took over all of the min
ing properties and interests of the
two and Mr.. Nixon acquired full
ownership of the banking interests,
with the exception of the John s.
Cook bank in Goldfield, which re-
