EDMUND T. JAMESON.
Edmund T. Jamison was born at
Blooming Rose, Maryland, on the 4th
day of April, 1886, and died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. j. A Dent.
at Crellin, MARYLAND, on the I'd day of
April, 1915. He had made his home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Dent for some years
past, the latter being his only surviv-
ing child. Mr.. Jamison had been twice
married. His first wife was Miss
Katherine Coddington by whom he had
seven children, six of whom, as well as
the mother, preceded him to the grave
by many years. He afterwards marri-
ed Miss Frances Jarboe, on May 1st.
1876, who died in 1892, but of this union
there was no offspring.
Beside Mrs. Dent, Mr.. Jamlson is
survived by one sister, Mrs. Florence
L. Browning, wife of John T. Brown
ing, and two brothers, r. S. Jamison
and Edwin Jamison. the latter of whom
resides in California.
His funeral occurred on Monday from
St Peters Catholic church, Of which
he has been a lifelong member. and
was attended by a large number Of
sorrowing relatives, neighbors and
friends. The Requiem Mass was sung
by Rev. Father Walsh, of Washington,
D. c.. who preached an impressive and
instructive sermon appropriate to the
occasion. Interment was in St. Peters
cemetery. The pallbearers were Hon.
r. T. Browning, j. W. Hart, j. NJ.
Stanton, Michael Boyle, Patrick Garrett
and George D. Browning.
Edmund t. Jamison spent his entire
life IN this county and had impressed
his personality in marked degree upon
the citizenship of the community. He
was three times elected sheriff of the
county and was the first person elected
by the people to that Office, and his ad-
mlnistration of the trust reposed in him
was so fair and just and so eminently
satisfactory to his constituents that
they twice subsequently honored him
with the same position. He filled the
office during the years 1874 and 1875,
1882 and 1888, and 1892 and 1898. 1t
was during his second term as Sheriff
that john Smith, the only person ever
executed in this county, was hung.
Smith was convicted of brutal murder
and the performance of his duty on this
occasion, though performed unfinch-
lngly and in strict obedience to law,
was most distasteful to Mr.. Jamison
and source of sincere regret and con-
slant worry ever afterward. He also
served as President of the Board of
Supervisors for a time.
He was naturally and constitutionally
kind, generous, charitable and at the
same time modest, transformations and
of an unusually quiet and retiring dis
position. His sympathies were always
with the poor and unfortunate and none
in distress ever called to him in vain for
such relief as was in his power to give.
Many persons still living who have been
the object of his kindness and liberalitv
now mourn his loss and revere his
memory and the widow and orphan have
called him blessed.
His ideals of right and wrong were
well defined and he drew the line be-
tween the two with unerring precision.
He was clean, upright, honorable,
thorough gentleman-ag gentle man. He
was never known to speak i'll of another
AID those who were fortunate enough
to be admitted into the circle of mis-
closer friendship were drawn to him IN
very tender way by his sincerity and
high sense of honor and held firmly by
a strong and genuine affection.
He was good neighbor, a devoted
husband, kind and indulgent father, a
model citizen, real man, without
guile and above reproach. In his
death the entire community suffers an
irreparable loss. We shall not look up-
on his like again. May he rest in peace !
Green be the turf above thee,
Friend Of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee,
None namad thee but to praise"
