Citizen and Churchman Dead.

A. Wellington Bird, a Cody man,
full of days, full of good works and
rich in the virtues that adorn chris
tian character, passed to his reward
Tuesday morning about II o'clock PIT
his home~at Mill Gap.
MI. Bird was born in the vicinity
in which he died about 81 years
ago, and was son of the late John
C. Bird, the record of his fathers
family showing but two children,
Mrs. Julia Hiner, who still survives,
being sister. Mr.. Bird is also sur
vived by his wife, whose maiden
name was Miss Alice V. Shultz, and
20 whom he was married ia 1881.
Deceased had been in declining
health for more than year, and for
five or six months it was only too
evident that death had marked him
for his prey. Since the disease
.ook a more serious turn, perhaps
four months ago, he has been con-
fined to his bed, a great charge as
we'll as a great sufferer. Willing
hands of loved ones and friends glad
ly ministered to him during these
long months, and to them the chris
tian resignation and experience of
the good man will be helpful in fu-
ture life.
Mr.. Bird professed faith in early
manhood, and from the time of his
conversion to the day of his death
the dominant purpose of his life was
10 be christian, and to induce 9TH
ars who came within the sphere of
that life to strive for moral and
spiritual excellence. Naturally hon
est and sincere of spirit, he was sus-
ceptible of the full power of the Cos
pei, and since entering the evening
Of life, he chung with a strong
neart to the truths which were the
life of his soul and of the church
which he so ardently loved. At his
request, during his last illness prayer
md praise services were frequently
held at his bedside, and at such times
t was evidnt to all present that the
Word was food and drink" to him,
Ind when asked as to his state of
mind, he expressed himself humbly,
ret confidently and hopefully; and
Until his faculties failed he ceased
not to give evidence of complete
md triumphant victory oyer the last
enemy.
He was a member of the M. E.
Church, South, at Green Hill, and for
| long time a Steward and Sabbath
school superintendent. His leader
ship in church work there was fully
appreciated and he will be greatly
missed.
The funeral services took place at
Treen Hill, the church in which he
lad long worshipped, at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, at the close of
which his body was laid to rest on
the hill near where his long and use
III life had been spent. The funeral
services were conducted by his pas
or, Rev. G. w. Staples, and in spite
If unfavorable weather, many friends
Ind relatives attested their conf
1ence and esteem by being present.
