TRIBUTE TO THE LATE REV. WILLIS

We quote with pleasure the fol
lowing account of and tribute to one
whom many people of Lyon County
knew and loved. Only the time when
the mists have rolled away and we
shall know as we are known will dis
close the iull significance of the work
of man ike Rev. Willis, the subject
OF the sketch.
Father Willis as he was called
and known by the people of Pacific
Grove for fourteen years, has at last
crossed the Great Divide. Rev. Fran.
els Marion Willis was born February
%, 1881, on a farm near Carmi, White
County, in southern Illinois. He was
of a strong American family for gen
erations back, his mother being a
granddaughter OF General Morgan, of
the Revolutionary War, he be:ns a
relative and namesake of General
Francis Marion.
His boy9ood was spent in Illinois,
where he obtained his early education.
AT the age OF nineteen years he joined
caravan and crossed the plans to
California on horseback, TO the gold
mines, where,he spent some time try
ing his luck for fortune. He soon
went to the Sonoma Academy. Meth
odist school and the first institution
OF learning i'll California, where he At
ted himself for teacher. He taught
public school for years in Sonoma
Plumas and Lassen counties, acting
as local preacher in the church at
the same time, These were years of
good service rendered as teacher cf
youth and preacher of the gospel.
In 1872 he gave himself entirely
to the ministry, connecting himself
with the Nevada Conference in which
he served Honey Lake Circuit, Amer
lean and Indian Valley, Walker River,
Bishop, Independence. Antelope, and
other places, He brought things to
pass, establishing churches and erect
ing buildings, sometimes with his own
hands, With his strong physical cor
stitution, his big heart of love and un-
faith in God, he made the
desert to blossom as the rose. His |
many and varied experiences as a |
preacher in the Nevada Mission in |
those early days would have made |
most interesting reading.
. In 1885 he came to the CaliforriI |
Conference. serving New Almaden
Boulder Creek, Point Arena and Santa
Rosa Circuit. In 1895 he took SUI

superannuated and located at Pacifi
Grove, where he resided until the da,
of departure to the better country. A
$50 am December 3. After a visi
to his children in Nevada, upon hi.
return to Pacific Grove he seemed tc
begin to decline in health rapidly, and
four weeks ago last Sunday he fell
and broke his hip. He knew his time
had come, and he made all necessary
arrangements for his going. He as
sured his devoted daughters, who
came to minister to him in his la st
days ttst everything was settled and
in order, and he was simply waiting
the call of God.
This white-haired patriarch who was
familiar figure on our streets was
the embodiment OF plain. old-fash-
ioned honesty and sweet charity. He
was noted patriot ami was proud of
his American ancestry and his own
citizenship. He was an ardent advo-
cate OF temperance and woman's suf-
frage. He was pronouncedly orthodox
in his faith, but brotherIy and broad
minded toward those who differed
IRON him, always seeing good in
others. He was noted for his frank
outspoken manner, saying what he
felt he ought to say. He didn't grow
more narrow with years, but rather
more broad minded in looking at the
great problems OF life. This. not that
he in any way lessened his belief in
the orthodox faith, but in respect of
others belief. He was a devoted bus-
band and father and persevered in
putting all his children through col
iege. One of his devoted daughters
said OF her father; Il know Of moth
ing small in his nature"
What heritage such father leaves
his children. With Cowper they can
say:
My boast is not that deduce nv
birth
FROM IONS enthroned, or rulers of
the earth;
nut hisher far my proud pretensions
rise
The son OF parents passed into the
skies"
The funeral service WAS conducted
IN the Methodist Episcopal Church

pterment was at the Conference Gem

EXPECT LITTLE ARGUMENT

The Boston News Bureau states
that the large quantities OF uncsn-
sumed copper which have been
bought through the war industries
board for government account and
delivered to manufacturing plants
working on war orders will not be
offered for resale at cut prices.
The government plans to retain
all copper purchased in its control
and consume it as required for
army and navy purposes. Such a
step will prevent flooding OF the
market with copper in competitor
with that coming direct from the
producers.
= The idea was becoming quite pre-
valent among consumers that the
opportunity would soon present IT
self to secure copper plentnully
from government sources below 1t
