Voris Buckley Horene was born
November 5, 1900. at Denver, Colo,
and he was struck by the Globe,
bound train, Saturday afternoon,
February 18th, at about 4:35 o'clock,
between Solomonville and Stafford
while riding in an automobile with
a friend, Arthur O'Bryan. The
body was thrown about 200 feet.
Conclusion of the brain caused al
most instant death.
The sudden taking of this princely
young man brought profound
shock to the whole community.
He was employed in the GIa VAL
ley Bank & Trust Co.
His beautiful Christian character,
his unusually bright mind, his gentle
and sympathetic disposition, en-
deared him to all. His was as an
old spirit in a young body.
His sage sayings and deep per-
ception of moral and spiritual truth,
made him welcome companion of
those older than himself, and men
in advanced years, took delight in
him, yet the boys and girls and
youth found in him an exemplary
example and encouragement.
He was particularly the JOY of
his parents; his sweet and consider
ate spirit, and always instructive
helpfuness, in thought and in deed,
profoundly enriched the home. He
entered into his fathers work of
the ministry with unusual appre-
citation and encouragement. To his
mother, he was a real stay and sup
port. A younger brother, Maxwell,
aged eleven years, remains to the
sorrowing parents-a lad of fine
promise
The church was crowded with the
friends of Rev. and Mrs. Horene.
The people stood about the doors
and windows and crowded back into
the street. 1t seemed the whole
community came out to pay their
respects to the beloved boy.
Rev. DR.. W. W. Shenk, pastor of
the Methodist Church in Globe, had
charge of the services. The order
of services were as follows;
The choir opened with the song,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere. y
Prayer was offered by Rev. E. A.
Gottberg, pastor of the Baptist
Church.
The choir then sang Asleep in
Jesus" Selections from the Script
ures were read by DR.. Shenk. Mrs
J. A. Mcneil sang most 'feelingIy
Just for Today"
DR.. Shenk then gave the address,
after which Rev. Horene paid the
tribute of their parents love. tC
Voris. Seldom, indeed, have peo'
pie beheld such scene of Christian
triumph, fortitude and resignation
All eyes were wet with tears. After
the benediction a large concourse
passed the white casket to take their
farewell.
The casket was heaped with q
profusion of beautiful floral offer,
ings. There were floral remem,
brances from the Woman's Club,
the Odd Fellows, the Rebekahs and
the Railway Train Crew, as well as
numerous individual boquets.
Throughout the morning, children
had called at the. parsonage with
their little boquets of flowers, and
among them MeXicans and those of
other nationality. The expressions
gave a pathetic evidence of the af.
fectionate esteem in which Voris
was held.
A long line. of automobiles and
carriages followed the remains to
the Union cemetery, situated little
outside of Stafford. At the close of
the service there, the assembled
people joined in the Lords Prayer.
1t is a grief to all that so prom
Using life should be so suddenly
torn away. But the ministry per-
formed by Voris in his word and
example, will remain with the sense
of life work completed and fully
wrought. BE-.
Rev. and Mrs. Horene and Max

of the whole community.
