J-ineral Services at Home of Dei-eased,
AVhere Friends, Fellow
.lurUts and Pioneers Gather
to ro Him Honor.
SXLEM. Or., April 12. (Special.)
TVIth all of the hnnnrs. dignity and re
Kpect that mortal being: could bestow,
and to which one in his late exalted
station in public and private life was
entitled, the last tad rites and relig
ious ceremonies were performed over
the remains of the late Judge Reuben
Patrick Boise, at the old home place at
2 o'clock this afternoon, and they were
laid away to eternal rest in the family
plot. in Odd Fellows Cemetery where
hey will follow out the dictates of the
laws of nature -"asnes to ashes and
dust to dust" but the history of his
life and deeds will ever remain fresh
mid ineffaceable in the hearts and
minds of his relatives, friends and fel
l'iw citizens to be banded down from
.Keneratlon to generation of posterity.
Though simple and without the
'slightest decree of ostentation, the ob
Isequies were conducted at the house in
iihn presence of about 200 persons of
hlgh and low station In public life,
life-long friends and fellow Jurists and
pioneers, with great solemnity and dig
nified beauty. These services consist
ed of a brief religious sermon by Rev.
.T S. Knight, the pioneer Presbyterian
-missionary and minister of the Pacific
Northwest, who has conducted all of
the funeral services of the Boise fam
ily since their residence in Salem, for
rai years, and an impromptu address, of
a reminiscent and eulogistic nature,
by the Hon. George H. Williams, of
Portland, a pioneer of 1853 and now the
oldest lawyer in the state.
Honor Memory of the Head.
These venerable and time-honored
citizens pa la many a compliment and
sounded praises of the good deeds their
deceased friend had accomplished dur
ing the ST years of a life of honesty,
t'iritt. Integrity and public usefulness,
slid their lucid recitations of warm as
sociations of tne past caused many a
tear t' weli up and overflow In the
ei of those within hearing distance.
Music for the occasion was furnished
by the Thlelsen Quartette, composed of
Professor and Mrs. Francesco Seley.
Mrs. V. I'arlton Smith and F. Q. Decke
bach. w ho rendered the Episcopal bur
ial chant and a selection from the (fc9
pi 1 Hymns. Mr. Peckebach rendered a
baritone solo, entitled -Rest," by Mrs.
J. W. Bliss.
"Mv friends." said tho Hon. George
H. Williams, who arose slowly and fee
bly, at the close of tho Reverend
K'nlght's eloquent and touching ser
mon, to address a few remarks in be-
1 half of his departed friend, "I have
but; a few words to say concerning
P-olse, thai was, and whom you all
knew as well as I as a man whose en
tire life was filled with fidelity and
the highest ideals of honor. Judge
Holse acted well bin part on every pos
sible occasion and for this reason be
was entitled to all of the praises and
honors due him.
"Judge Boise has been more fortu
nate during his life than has Tcen the
lot of many of us in earning and gain
ing the respect and confidence of alt.
He was forlunate in his family: Ills
-friends, and especially In retaining his
faculties unimpaired to the very close
of a long and useful life. When I came
ttc. Oregon, over S9 years ago. Judge
rioise was engaged In the active prac
tice of law, and I have had the pleasure
of seeing htm oeriipy seats of the high
est hohor the people could bestow, the
bench of the Supreme and Circuit
Courts, and. as a Judge he 'has been
absolutely impartial and upright: his
jrivate life Irreproachable, and In pub
lic, above suspicion.
Mas Oldest Lawyer in State.
Rut a few days ago Judge Boise
was the oldest lawyer in the state of
Oregon. Now he lias gone and I am
the oldest and left to tread down the
weary path of Ufa alone, and I feel liito
one left alone without anyone to look
up to In point of years and experience
In the line of practice. When m man
reaches the age that was attained by
Judge Boise he has no occasion to re
gret to depart this earth, and there is
no occasion to mourn his loss. is
Just as natural for him to die as lie
lived. Everything the tree, the flow
er, the gr:iss, thrlre and fulfill their
usefulness on earth and. after they
liavc done their duty, wither and per
ish; and tlio same is true of mankind,
nnd It is his duty to act and view as
cheerfully as he can the end of this life
which is inevitable.
"His belovNl family and friends need
not grteve over bis departure from such
a long life of toll and high accomplish
ments, for they can look back upon his
record with pride and full satisfaction.
SprinK Is a most appropriate time for an
old man to take his departure from this
aerth, when there are Spring flowers
birds and everything to brighten and
cheer him on to the end with their sweet
fragrance and mirthful song, symbolic of
life of happiness, Joy and prosperity
When the sun goal down and sheds its
Kolden hues over the earth which Is about
to be clothed In darkness, so an old man
like Judtce Roise dies with all the glories
of a setting sun. And when It is all
over we can all Join In saying: 'Well
done, good and faithful servant. Rest in
peace." "
Not tr Eye in Assemblage.
When Judge Williams closed his re
marks, sn simple vet full of feeling and
pathos as they fell from lips trembling
with age and tenderness, there was
scarcely a dry eye in the whole assem
blage. After the rendition of a song by
the quartet, and the crowd filed to take
a look at the deceased statesman and
Jurist, the funeral cortege wended its
solemn way to the cemetery, where the
remains were laid to their final rest after
brief services and prayer conducted by
the Kev. Air. Knignt. and an mat was
earthly of the late Judge Boise was a
tiling of the past.
The beautiful array of floral offerings
gave mute testimony of the high esteem
In which the deceased was held by the
community and commonwealth, while rep
resentatives of the state and Federal Ju
diclary and state officialdom were in at
tendance upon the ceremonies which
marked the dose of one of the most brll
llant careers tn the state's history.
The honorary pallbearers were: Hon.
A. Push. Hon. George H. Williams, Hon
