JOHN MARBLE HOY.

John Marble Hoy was born Novem-
Der 9th, 1900, at Keystone, South Dako.
ia, and died at Casper Wyo, June 9th,
1921. He leaves to mourn his loss a
mother, father, sister and grandfather
besides a host Of sorrowing friends who
knew and esteemed him for his many
qualities of heart and mind Johnny
Hoy, as he was affectlonately known,
was young man who had ambition,
viriIity and vision and who cherished
ideals that were never to be realized
only because of his untimely death His
vision in life led him to early seek a
finished education and therefore attend
ed Spearfsh Normal in order that he
might better fit himself to meet the re-
sponsibiities he felt would be his. His
plans contemplated areturn to Spearfish
the coming year where he expected to
finish and graduate. Placed in positions
of responsibility and trust he filled
them with fidelity and efficiency that
did him credit and won him new friends
and added responsibilities in neigh.
boring state. Life to him was full oil
| hope and Of brightest promise but alas!
in this hour of success this splendid
young man was cut down by the keen
sickle of Death and we who knew him
and believed in him today can do noughr
but pay fearful tribute to his memor,
and sympathize with the stricken fam
| lily who have been so sorey bereft. and
who have the heartfelt sympathy of all.
Measured by the span of years Johnny
Hoy's life covered but brief period, he
tarried with us, as it were but a dav,
but Life is not measured by the ticking
of a clock or the dial plate of Time but
by human endeavor and his monument
will be the friends he won and kept,
his clean and manly character, the re-
sponsibilites he met and lived up to SC
brayely and we'll, the ambitions he
cherished in life and the silent tribute,
of grief of host of friends who will pa,
homage throughout the years to come t
his memory in company with bis sor
irowing family.

the boys together with the fellows who
