Phone Mai it La Grande, Oregon funeral Of Lewis f Noble Is Held The funeral services of Lewis F. Noble were held .June .28 at the Boh nfencamp Chapel, where a very im pressive service was conducted by the Bew. G. L. Clark of the First Pres byterian church. An earnest appeal wafl made by him especially to the Large,- number of young men present who eame to pay their .last tribute to the departed one, who had' been their comrade nd friend for many year, for he -was loved by all who knew hiin for his generous, kindhearted and jovial spirit. Even in his hours of suf Iferinjj ho would try to cast the shadow ffrom before him and appear happy. He' passed away June 26, from hemor. i-hage of thft'.BoWoIs which developed After an operation for catarrh of the txwels; he also had a severe case of hemorrhoids. ',v He' seemed to be con valescing and all had hopes of his recovery when, suddenly a hemmor rhage developed which quickly brought to an end the life of one who had gone in and out in our midst these many years. The deceased was born in La Grand'! December 23, 1889 and had always ro mained and made his home in this city. He became an employe of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. about 10 years ago mid since that time had been continuaVy in its service until his health failed. He 'Was also a member of the B. '. L. E. and F. who rttended the funera! in a body and also acted as . pall bearers. They proved to be his faith ful friends to the end and did all they could to bring him sunshine and cheor during the long months of his illnesj; and also showed their sympathy and love in ihe beautiful floral offering') which almost completed covered the casket. The deceased also held a warm place in the heart of C. L. Kaler of the Willow Glen Nurseries, who his friend. Lewis was 28 years of age and sec ond son f the late Mury and William Noble, pioneer residents of La Graid.j, also brother of Chrifisy Noble Golithon, who departed this life about two year ago. The immediate family left lo mourn his loss are: Wm. G. Noble, George M. Noble ar.d Margaret Noble, all of this city, also a sister Elianbe'.h Noble-Stenberg, of Whitewater, Wis consin. The remains were laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery beside five others of the family who had preceded him. There rests beneath the quiet sod The form of one we loved, No more as comrades we will tramp Out with the rod and gun His feet grew tired by the way, His soul it longed to go To find the rest beyond this vail That here we cannot know; He saw his loved ones beckoning Upon the other shore, So closed his weary eyes in death To earth's cares evermore. Not gone from us forever, no! Ah that could never be, For soon we'el clasp glad hands again In heaven eternally. Motorcycle Dealers . Give Fishing Trip Do you own a motorcycle?
