OBITUARY.

Brother H. j. Foster was born
fifty-three years ago in North Caro-
lima and departed this life in full tri-
umph of the Christian faith about
4:30 o'clock Monday morning. May
18th.
When small boy the deceased
went to Helena, Montana, where he
spent the major part of his early
manhood. He then settled in Den
yer, Colorado. He perhaps loved
Denver better than any spot in the
world. He was fascinated with its
healthy climate and unsurpassed nat
ural scenery. Here he had the larg-
est circle of friends. Here is the
Rocky Mountain Lodge, No. 1. F. A.
NJ, of which he was a member. Here,
as he told me a few days ago, he
spent the happiest years of his life
and here he desired his remains to
be buried.
For twenty-five years Mr.. Foster
was chef on the private car of Mr..
Frank Trumbell, president of the G.
G. S. R. R. The fact that he held
this important position for quarter
of century speaks louder for his in
dustry honesty and efficiency than
any words his best friends can ut
ter. He was not only an employe
of President Trumbell, but Mr.. Trum-
bell and all the family were his per-
sonal friends. Everything that could

MRS. 1. w. WILSON, WIFE OF
WE'LL KNOWN FORMER DEN
VERITE, PASSES AWAY AT
CROWLEY, COLO.

Mrs. Wilson, the wife of l. w. Will
son, residing just west of Crowley,
died at the family home on Tuesday
night. Her death was partly due to
an attack of the influenza which she
had at Christmas time and from
which she never fully recovered.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted at Crowley at the school
house where church services have
been held, at o'clock this Friday
afternoon, and interment will be
made in the Olney Springs cemetery.
The services had been arranged for
Thursday afternoon, but sister of
Miss Wilson sent word that she
would be here and the services were
arranged for today.
Mrs. Wilson is survived by her
husband and three children, Sher-
man and Arthur and Denella. She
also has a brother and sister liv-
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are among
the best known people in Crowley
county and have resided in the coun-
ty for twenty years. Their ranch is
located just west of Crowley and
north of King Center, where they
have prospered in their work and
made friends by their thrift and
pleasant ways. They are among the
few colored residents of the county
and they have been held in high es-
TEEN by all who know them. Mr..
Wilson is among the most prosper
Gus of the farmers of this vicinity
and has taken a great pride, as did
his wife, in their home and their
family.
Mrs. Wilson was born at Paris,
Mo-, in 1865, and was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ham Campbell. She
and Mr.. Wilson were married in Den
yer, March Z, 1888.
The last words of Mrs. Wilson,
knowing that she was about to die,
were, "The Lord came and blessed
my soul and left the comforter WIFI
me. Meet me on the other shore. -
Ordway New Era, Friday, May 18th.
I. w. Wilson was formerly resi-
dent of Denver and left this city
twenty years ago to take up farm
ing in Crowley county, and is today
one of the most prosperous coiored
farmers in this state.
Mr.. Wilson is a worthy MEMBER
of Rocky Mountain Lodge NO. l.
F. & A. NJ, of Denver, to which ne
has been loyal and true for twenty
five years.
We extend to him and FAMILY our
deepest sympathy upon their loss.

entreaties of the pastor for unity with
the Greater Brother, and the fraternal
organization felt renewal of the splr-
it for more active work in the com

more effective work. A large offering
was taken up-the same being devoted

health was done by the Trumbell
family. The world is greatly agitat-
ed today about the labor problem.
This agitation would disappear in
less than five years If the relation
that existed between Mr.. Trumbell
and Mr.. Foster could be established
between all employers and employees.
The position of the deceased car
ried him not only all over the United
States, but through Canada and Mex
leo. Very few men of our race are
as well acquainted with the Amert-
can continent as was Mr.. Foster.
Seven years ago the deceased was
united in holy matrimony to Miss
Henrietta Howard. who comes from
one of the best families of the race.
by DR.. Jenkins of Waco, Texas.
Theirs was one of the happiest mar
riages that has come under my OBJ
servation during my twenty-seven
years in the ministry. They We're
absolutely devoted to each other and
gave every evidence that they were
not only Joined together by DR.. Jen-
kins, but by the Lord Himself. Mrs.
Foster is not only an ideal woman
but an unusual wife. One son is the
onlyother relative that survives the
deceased.
In the fall of 1917. Mr.. Foster
was happily converted to Christian
ity and on Sunday morning, Decem-
Der 30th, of the same year, was bap-
tized into the fellowship of the Abys-
sinian Baptist Church. From that
day on he grew more and more into
the affections of our membership be-
cause of his devotion to the church
and manly Christian qualities which
he constantly manifested. One of his
last acts the day before passing away
was to send a contribution to his
church. The pastor will not only
miss him as a member, but as per-
sonal friend.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Foster only
| lived in New York five years, they
did not have warmer friends any
place on the American continent than
here. These friends will ever hold
in their memory a picture of his
splendid physical, mental, moral and
spiritual manhood. And Mrs. Fos-
ter will nowhere find more sympa-
thetic hearts and homes with a
warmer welcome than in this city
where her husband took his depart
ure for that city that hath founda-
tions whose builder and maker is
God"
We do not think of Brother Fos-
ter as being dead. He has simply
entered into a larger and better life.
HE dead! Say the same of the sun
shine
When evening comes over the hill,
Say music is dead, when in slumber,
The hand of the player is still.
Behold the dimmed splendor has
broken
In morning, eternal and calm.
And listenl the player is sweeping
The chords of an infinite psalm.
