Washington county , Colorado , Tuesday morning , Dec. 11,1888. ilr. Nathan Squires. Deceaspd was horn In Snulhport. Chemung county. Neiv York. Fcliriiiir.t t 7 , 1810 : lacked but a few dayo of being 79 years of age. Mr. Squires was possessed of a remarkable degree of agility for one of bis ngu. Ills parents emigrated to Pennsylvania when he was a mere youth. Returned to the homo of his childhood at the age of 17. At tho age of 22 he was married to Miss Koectta Christian at Men- ty , Cavuga county. New York. With his bcnii tiful and amiable bride he emigrated to Chica go , III. , in 1S12. Hero he ticcamo acquainted with John Wentworth. Their acquaintance grew into friendship , romninintr so during hts stay in Chicago. The population of Chicago at that time was small. During the cholera season which occurred during his stay at. Chi cago ho lost nnn of his children with that most dreaded disease. In the year 1853 ho engaged In the mercantile business , remnlningat that business until the breaking out of tho late rebellion. With three of his sons he enlNted In the 52d regiment of Illinois volunteers Was afterward discharged on account of disability. With his companion and those of his children remaining at home , he emigrated to Nemaha county. Neb. , in 1503. Thero he experienced the privatlnns that accompany homestead life. Remaining on his farm el > iht years he then moved to Nebraska City where he remained eight \ ears. Leaving Nebraska City he moved to Thajor county , Nebraska , residing theie two years. Pun basing ii faim in Republic county , Kansas , and remaining there until his death. On account of his wife's health tl.ey were on a visit to their daughter Mrs. 0. W. Matkin who resided in Washington county , Colorado Soon after arriviugat that place he contracted a sovere < old which settled on tho left lobe of tho luuir. causing pneumonia After four days , of intense sufleriug bis spirit took its flight. His remains were brought from Wray , Colo rado , accompanied by the rief stricken wire , two sous , and one daughter , for interment in the Evergreen cemetery near his old home in the ' Illinois settlement. Four of his sous being , present were pall bearers , presented a beauti ful and yet a solemn scene. The last sad rite was performed by those nearest and dearest. We could but shed tears of sympathy as we greeted , his lifelong companion. The deceased leaves his companion and eight children to mourn bis loss. Mrs. Squires will \ remain with hereldestdaugliterMrs.J..Iohns- tou , who resides four miles south of Till mage. J Four sons and one daughter reside iti Nebras ka ' ; one daughter in Colorado ; one in Illinois , and one son in Missouri. Yes. father has gone ! Mother is alone now. For J years they have lived and toiled for each other. Now he has gone ! This tenement of \ clay that we were wont to call. Father The I bone and muscle garment which the spirit has worn for years has been properly convoyed to its last resting place in Evergreen cemetery ; while the eternal inmost the spirit has pass ed to a fairer country. As the bud bursts and discloses the flower in all its beauties , so hisspirit as it escaped from \ this form , launched out in all its splendor to behold tho beauties of the celestial world. A light j has been extinguished on earth , to grow bt ighter in the land of spirits. In that land of departed dear ones , progression is inevitable. . Its pathway is onward and upward. leading the happy pilgrim nearer and nearer to the eternal one , and Oh ! what a consolation to know that we shall meet beyond the Gate. ! One by one our loved ones leave us , As the hour of lite giows lute ; One by one their partings grieve us , They are parsing through Hie gate. One by one no all are going. Down tho naihway steep and straight ; Ah the joy there is in knowing. We shall meet beyond the gate. Could we by some mysterious magic wand , Rcbtore tu health our dearest our most lov ing friend ; Could we with iron grasp and firmness say : Grim death ! thou must thy progress stay. As we beside the couch of dying friends do stand. Beholding tho grasp of death's cold icy hand ; As we behold the last impioriug gaze on us We then must saytis well. " for God hath made it lbus In agony we bow. and kneeling kiss the rod. In fancy wo behold the path the Savior trod A consolation in his. word we then shnli lind He , t > y his agonizing death , restoreIi all mankind. Miss MaiivSetz. Talmaou. Xkiiii. , Dec.2) ) . 18SS. ] A Railroad Train in a Forest Fire. Tlie train , lessening its sueed. was soon oblig ed to creep cautiously between biuks : of rose- red embers or solid cords of roaring wood the wood which had been cut and piled for com merce. The pine-branches on the flat car ig nited , driving the brass band into an inclosed carriage for shelter. Men with buckets drop ped to ditches beside the track and dipped up water to throw on the train , creeping on the platforms again v/ilh scorched clothes and liauds and faces blistered. a One who has never been in a forest Are can j , scarcely imagineits intense heat , the acrid blinding fetnoUe , the suddenness with which trees flah from root to crown , and mass blazes [ far from any spark , as if the earth itself were [ jurniiig. tho furnace glow of piled logs , tho iieated air from buked ground. Incredible sights showed through that night mare of tire. Mots inclosed stumps spurted iame many times their own height. Young erns , , scarce unrolled , sprang green and rresh from one side of a log , while tho other side luivered in living coals. Tho train stopped. It could creep in retreat 10 farther , for its track was burned , the rails varped into fantastic curves. Blickened and jlistered paint ran down the car sides. The doors and windows had all been closed 0 o keep out smoke and sickening heat. Every p mssenger in the carriage gasped for breath. Che floor was bo hot it burned their feet. Ttio = vindow glass could not be touched. They ould all see the wooden sides of the inclosure varp. When the doomed train had hung a minute "j n the midst of this furnace. S'imc one opened I door and shouted that it was on Are. Into ' he blistering , smoke darkened air , and nut up- n a forest floor spread with embers and quiv- ring with heat , the people nil rushed. Women ainted and were dragged up and carried by heir fathers or brothers. Tho escape valve of he locomotive was left open bj Its fljingen- rineer. but it uttered its steam wail briefly , nj eing relieved by explosion. When days had cooled the forest to black- = less , a distorted boiler nnd Eome rows of iron ' vheels were found where the train came to a top. From " The Bells orSte.
