his untimely death and in the gen
eral feeling OF loss over his depart
ure.
lie leaves as a monument To his
credit a number of buildings and
businesses built up or improved by
him. But he took greatest salts
faction from the fact that he had
enriched the state and nation by
bringing up boy and two girls that
any father might well be proud of.
His son, Ernest, now A years OF
age, has many of the qualities OF his
father and bids fair to grow into
the same manly man that his father
was; while his two sweet little
daughters, now buds, Will surely
grow into flowers that Will enrich
the womanhood of the nation
Funeral
Prior to his death Mr.. Bingham
had requested that he be buried with
his mother who rests In the family
plot in the Masonic division OF Mt.
View cemetery at Reno, and his
wishes in this respect were carried
out.
Sunday afternoon the local lodge
of Masons conducted the funeral
rites of their order at the Baptist
church. Grand Master George
Snow conducted the ceremony in
clear and impressive manner, being
assisted by other members of the
local lodge of Masons. The follow
ing Masons acted as pallbearers:
Thomas Dolf, Eli Cam, Joe Jarvis,
Ernest Loring, Dr. E. F. Dunbar, A.
f. Olds. Rev. Petersen offered
prayer
After the ceremonies at the Bap-
tist church the remains were escort
ed to the depot at Fallon and placed
on the motor which carried them to
Hazen where they were transferred
to train No. 19. At the depot at
Reno the funeral party were met by
an escort of Masons from Reno
Lodge +. a. A. M.
The remains rested in state at the
funeral Chapel of Gresbeck
OBrien at Reno until two O'Clock
the next day. During the morning
many of Mr. Bingham's old friends
at Reno called to view the remains
and many brought beautiful trib-
utes of flowers.
1t was noticed by all that the re-
mains of Mr.. Bingham presented to
an unusual degree a lifelike and
natural appearance. His friends
were pleased to see him appear al
most exactly as he appeared when
In life he stood at the cashier
window of the Bank of Fallon. He
appeared lige one, who had thrown
aside the cares and worries of. life
and had quietly lain down To pleas
ant dreams. His appearance gave
the impression to all who looked at
him that all was well and that he
was perfectly contented and abso-
lutely at rest and at peace with his
maker and with all mankind
A friend who had known him we'll
in life had these thoughts as he
stood alone in the funeral chapel
and looked down on the deceased
as he lay in his beautiful casket.
In Memoriam
Our friend, Charles Edgar Bing
ham, is dead; but, though cold in
the tomb his silent form may lay.
that which once warmed 1t can new
er die, but will live ON as an ex-
ample and inspiration to those who
follow.
We will no longer hear the foot
falls of our friend as We did of
yore- as he passed down our street;
but as we know those footsteps
were always bent on some errand of
honest industry or on some purpose
suggested by humanity: we now
know that those feet are now tread
ing the silvery canopy of the HeaY-
ems and from star to star, on ether
ial pinions, walking the eternal
paths of the celestial highways.
The hands that wrought so skill
fully in life and, while transacting
the necessary deeds of business af-
fairs, found time and opportunity TO
lend aid to the afflicted and give as
sstance to every worthy cause are
now motionless on his breast, but
since we know that those hands
were ever ready to extend in charity
and always open to do good, while
refusing to take part in dishonest
act; we know that those hands are
now held in warm embrace by the
angels before the throne of God and
that there they will assist in build
ing the eternal mansions of the
Golden City.
The eyes that delighted us by
their bright glance of pleasant rec
ognition are closed; but as we know
that those eyes sought to see only
the good in us, and never looking
for evil sight or searching for i'll
gotten gain, sought for ways and
means to make others happier and
the lot of those about him pleasant
er We know that those eyes are
now open to see the full majesty Of
the Supreme Grand Master and the
radiant splendors of the Eternal
Gardens.
