nouncing the sudden deatn Oh Ear
w. fremont that afternoon at Car
son City. His many friends here
we're rieved to know that he had
been so suddenly stricken and called
to the Great Beyond. When he was
appointed Receiver of the United
States Land Office at Carson and re-
moved from here with his family to
that city in 1906 it was with the hap
piest anticipations of C and
prosperity. They left many warm
friends here who we're in touch with
them, and when the grim reaper
called the deceased's wife about two
years ago, profound sorrow was ex-
pressed. 1t was said of him that he
was a man that needed his cheerful
companion and helpmeet. Mr.. IRE
mont during his residence in Eureka
manifested the pride and integrity OF
the Southern gentleman--never for
getting his manners and obligations
to others, in consequence OF which
he was held in the highest esteem
and respect.
The Carson News of January a
gives the following detailed account
of Mr.. Tremont's death and a sketch
of his life:
Yesterday, shortly after noon, the
many friends of Earl w. fremont
were startled to learn that he had
died at his home with but ar illness
of a few moments. Mr.. fremont
appeared at the land office in the
Federal building as usual yesterday
morning to fill his position as Re-
ceiver of that department and was
busy all morning at his desk. He
complained shortly before noon OF
having a bad headache but nothing
strange was thought about this as
for a number of months past he had
complained of frequent severe head
aches.
His daughter, Beatrice, dropped
into the office shortly before the
noon hour and accompanied her
father home. When they reached
the house he complained of being i'll
and said he would go to bed for a
time and maybe it would pass off.
He went into the bedroom and re-
moving a portion of his clothing went
to bed. His daughter came into the
room and he told her to get him a
drink of liquor as he thought it
would benefit him. There was no
liquor in the house and she went to
the drug store and got a four ounce
bottle of whiskey. Upon her return
her father took about a tablespoon
full of the liquor and Immediately
fell back upon his pillow unconscious.
The startled girl rushed screaming
to the front door of the residence
and summoned Judge Sweeney and
Attorney Bartlett, who were passing.
They rushed into the house and inn
mediately summoned the medical
force of the city, Doctors Lee, Krebs
and Gree being rushed and who i'm
mediately responded.
Nothing could be done for the un-
conscious man and he passed away
at 1890 without regaining conscious
ness.
DIR. Krebs yesterday stated that
death was due to cerebral conges-
ton and this was concurred in by
the other physicians who were in
attendance.
Earl w. fremont was one of the
best known men in the State having
been in public life for a number of
years. He lived for years in Eureka
County in this State where he was
engaged in mining. In 1899 he was
sent to the State Legislature from
Eureka County and served his term.
In 1900 he was appointed the Census
Supervisor for the State and in 1906
was appointed the Receiver of the
Federal Land Office and moved to
this city with his family.

Orleans and was about so years of
age. In his early youth he vas a
river pilot and later was apilot along
the great lakes.
