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.
