TWENTIETH YEAR
Last Sad Rites
Monday afternoon in the Methodist
church the last snd rites were performed
over the earthly remains of Worth Cole
man whoso accidental death in an un
named lake among the Wyoming moun
tains not far from Hailey was described
in a recent issue of The Tribune by the
pen of theWyoming state sheep inspector
Wednesday September 4th on No 1
at the first opportunity after receiving
the telegram from Mr Shaffer of Hailey
Wyoming announcing the boys death
W T Coleman departed for Wyoming
to secure the body and bring it to Mc
Cook for burial if it were a possibility
On Monday morning he arrived on No
2 with the remains which were exhumed
from a primitive grave with the greatest
difficulty and conveyed to Rock Springs
Wyoming for shipment We shall not
attempt a description of the almost im
possible conditions under which the
father battled for the recovery of the
body of his son from those- primeval
Wyoming mountains and conveyed them
175 mites to the railroad It was a
heroic deed performed under circum
stances which might well appall the
stoutest heart After accorr ishing the
disinterment Under the mot jit per
suasion the remains had to be carried
for miles down the precipitous rocky
mountainside on an improvised stretcher
by two men When the ground became
less rough and steep an Indian sled
was attached between two ponies and
the descent of the mountains was con
tinued There are no roads or trails in
that section and directions are taken
from peak to peak In the timber region
it is said that for a stretch of a mile at a
time the Indian sled never touched
earth at all sliding over the fallen trees
the while A wagon was used as they
approached the less difficult part of the
journey The effort of Mr Coleman is
a high tribute to fatherly love and the
work of his assistants worthy unstinted
praise
The funeral services were conducted
in the Methodist church Monday after
noon by Rev L M Grigsby assisted
by Rev W J Turner of the Congrega
tional church after which the remains
were again committed to Mother Earth
in Longview cemetery The church was
crowded with sympathetic relatives and
friends and there was a superb wealth of
floral decorations and tributes embrac
ing a chiming and touching display of
emblems palms ferns potted plants
and cut flowers
The pall bearers were A W Berry G
D Burgess Claude Odell Glenn Hupp
Walter Thorgrimson and George Camp
bell and the members of class 1903 at
tended in a body
The services were very touching es
pecially the expression of the tribute of
love which came from the lips of the
dead boys associates up in that wild
uncivilized sheep country where he was
greatly loved and admired for his prin
ciples and manliness
We are but echoing the unanimous
sentiment of this community in express
ing for Mr and Mrs- Coleman and the
relatives and friends generally the pro
foundest sympathy in this heart-wringing
bereavement and great loss
Charles Ellsworth Coleman was
born in McCook Nebraska August st
1SS5 died near Hailey Wyoming Au
gust 23rd 1901 was 16 years and 22
days old Wa drowned accidentally in
an unnamed lake near Hailey Wyoming
August 23 1901 Body was recovered
from the lake on the 30th and buried on

quently removed to this city for inter
ment
CARD OF THANKS

many thanks for the kind acts per
formed and comforting words spoken

close attention given us during our sor
rowful bereavement in this the loss of
our dear son Worthie
Mr and MrsW T Coleman
Loyal to Their School House
A company of little tots were hurrying
to the west side Tuesday afternoon in
response to the fire alarm As they ap
proached their young hearts were op
pressed with a fear that their school
house was being destroyed One little
one was about to fall down with exhaus
tion and called out that she would die
if they kept on running so fast to which
another one responded breathlessly that
if her school house was going to burn
she would just as soon die as not

PROCLAMATION v
The President ot the United States having ap

be laid in its last earthly resting place as a
day of mourning and prayer and recommended
that the people assemble in their places of

ence to the President whose death has smitten
the nation with bitter grief a meeting has been
arranged by the citizens of tho city of McCook
for that day at the hour of 1030 oclock a m
at the Congregational church
I therefore request that all pIaco3 of business
in the city of McCook be closed from 10 oclock
a m until 3 p m on Thursday September 19
1901 and that a9 many as can ropair to the place
designated to pay a last tribute of respect to
our departed president
Dated at McCook Nebraska Sept 16th 1901
C E Eldred Mayor
Responding to Mayor Eldreds procla
mation which was in compliance with
the proclamation of President Roosevelt
the citizens of McCook thronged the
Congregational church Thursday morn
ing at 1030 oclock and paid a genuine
heartfelt tribute to tho memory of our
martyred president William McKinley
There was no effort at finished tribute
or oratorical flight but the simple ex
pression of what the heart felt toward
the nations honored and beloved dead
and from this point of view the memorial
service was highly successful and a
satisfactory expression of McCooks
patriotic and loving admiration for the
great good and glorious man who bowed
so humbly and unafraid to the will of
Him whom he served and honored in a
beautiful and useful life
At the appointed hour the Nebraska
Brigade band headed the members of
the G A R post and G A R circle in
the march in organization to the church
where the appended program was
followed

Benediction Rev L M Grigsby
The Tribune takes a pride in the fact
that the utterances were characterized
mor6 by sentiments of love and admira
tion for him whom all the world delights
to honor than by the demands for judg
ment and vengeance upon the miserable
wretch whom has robbed the land of her
first citizen Not that the crime is less
hateful but that law and orderly
dispassionateprocedure are more lovely
The church was appropriately deco
rated for the solemn occasion bunting
flags and draped pictures of the martyred
president being utilized effectively
In the business portion there were
many handsome window decorations but
the residence district was practically
devoid of any decorations at all even
draped pictures being few
The school buildings Commercial ho
tel Tribune office and one or two others
displayed the only flags at half mast
The public schools were closed all day
and many children attended the mem
orial services

by St John Commandery No 16
