Last Sunday evening while passing

James A Stangland peacefully pasned
away
Jiramies health had been failing eince
his experience with Supt English at
Holbrook during the great washouts of
last summer and a few month since he
went to Pasadena Calif accompanied
by his mother and sister Kittio in the
hope that his shattered health might
be benefited by that sunny clime For
a while there was encouraging improve
ment but it proved only temporary
About a week sincot it was determined
to bring him home to die among friends
at home among his dear ones But his
enfeebled condition could not withstand
the altitude and death found him pre
pared at Granite Colorado The re
mains were taken from tho train at Sa
lida Colorado for preparation for ship
ment They arrived hero on No 14
Tuesday night and were escorted to tho

The funeral occurred on Thursday af
ternoon services being held in the
Methodist church conducted by Rev
M B Carman A quartette composed
- of Mrs G U Thomas Miss Ida Mc-
Carl Mr S- B McLean and Mr J G
Schobel sang the touching music
The Knights of Pythias escorted the
remains from the home to the church
and thence to Longview cemetery
wnere there was a brief touching rit
ualistic service by the brethren at
the grave
The services at the church were of a
subdued tender nature a church full
of sympathizing Joving and admiring
friends being present to pay a last trib
ute of admiration and affection to the
departed and to add a sympathetic
touch to the bereaved ones
The floral expressions of the boundless
respect and admiration held by all who
knew him were simply superb individ
uals and orders going the limit in the
loveliness and liberality of their tokens
thus beautifully noting the passing into
the spiritual life of a fine soul a noble
young man
Many beautiful characteristics in his
life could be emphasized with pride He
was a dutiful son an affectionate
brother a true friend and faithful com
panion He loved truth mercy and
justice always looked for the good and
beautiful and admired them when
found A lover of home and a firm be
liever in the Great Book and its teach
ings and in the revealed Savior
Through all his illness he was most
patient his kindness toward others was
superb He was a thorough gentleman
a most excellent young man lived a
pure life and died a peaceful death and
leaves the family and friends a cher
ished memory
