The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1912-06-15

The following account Of the funeral
and burial at Reno on Tuesday Of the
late Senator George s. Nixon is taken
from the Reno Gazette of June IL:
Fully 5000 people stood with bowed
heads on the lawn at the residence OF
the deceased this afternoon when a
simple religious service was held over
the remains of the late United States
Senator George s. Nixon.
A platform had been erected in front
of the south veranda and there were
seated the Congressional escort, the
Governor and his staff, the clergy of
Reno and the active and honorary pail
bearers.
At Q O'Clock the casket containing the
body of the late Senator was carried
from the residence and about it were
banked the floral offerings, which for
beauty and number never were equalled
in Reno.
That sent by President Taft came as
fresh and sweet as though the flowers
had been plucked but the night before.
George Wingfeld sent a wreath Of
orchids that was exquisite In It's fragile
beauty. Both the Senate and House Of
Representatives sent emblems as did
the Masons, EIks and Knights Of
Pythias of this city.
Senator Newlands and Congressman
Roberts each paid a floral tribute to the
the memory of the deceased, as did also
the many employees Of the Nixon Ma
tional Bank.
In fact, so numerous were the tributes
that it required four wagons to convey
them to the cemetery.
Those who were seated upon the plat.
form remained standing while the
| flowers were placed about the casket'

Thee" after which there was an invo'
cation by Rev. Samuel Ellsworth. Rev.
W. d. Trout read the First Psalm and
then the quartette sang, abide With

A tribute to the memory OF the de-
ceased was paid in simple language but
in most sincere and heartfelt accent by
Rev. Mr.. Ellsworth, who said that II
was not at the request. nor the desire OF
the family, but he could not avoid it, Of
Senator Nixon was q man who belong
| ed not only TO his family, but TO the
| State and to the whole people of the
State.
"The monuments to Senator Nixon
are not in the structure of brick and
stone which he builded, but in the
| characteristics which he developed. the
young men who. under his training
have become leaders in the social and
financial life of Nevada"
Carefully avoiding any semblance tt
fullsome eulogy. the speaker related q
few incidents in the life of the deceased
and the simple ceremony ended.

After the service the cortege moved
from the residence to South Virgins
street, thence north TO Fourth, west t.
Vine, south to Third and west to th'

statement on the appointment of George
WiDgield as United States Senator:
81 have just appointed Mr.. Wingfield
United States Senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the sad death of Senator
George S. Nixon. This appointment

1t is highly necessary for us to have
a most able successor to such a distin

tor Wing6eld we will have one. He
possesses a wonderfully strong and
pleasing personality, an iron nerve. I'M.
