Memorial Services are Memory of Prof. Hill. Held C. For number or yearn l'rof. CI.

Hill wna nl the head of our schools, and during tfcose years lie did so inucli ouryouug men and women; for society and church, that our people felt it but due. his memory, tUn', suitable memorial services should be helJ, and in harmony with this thought, Sunday evening list July 23. was chosen. A large uuilien assembled at the -M II church, to piy tnliutn to the nimiorv of him" who was bo close to the hearts all our people, Thn AiKmiMW rinfttied with selections from the ch.nr, and ll-v. Cramptnn nlTHreil nraver.

Life and death, all thing? hat are made will he unmade every thing that had a beginning will have an ending, 'even these mortal bodies of ours. We rejoice that there are things that were never made that haye existed al ways -spirit and thought and character are eternal. I'rof. Hill, for whom these memorial services are held, in the short time that he lived among us, impressed his thought and spirit upon the com inunity, as but few men ever did. He wna not only an educator, but a Chris tian gentleman.

While among us he sought, not only to instruct and de velop the miud and thought of his pupils, but to instruct nnd elevate all classes of our citizens, developing! in them a literary taste and tilting them selves for place, position and usefulness in society. He was a man of large and liberal views. While a loyal and faithful member of the Christian church, he was larger in bis feelings and sympathies than aay one church or denomination He was a man of pure thought nnd chaste habits a prince among men. We cherish his memory, and commend his example to all who live after him. The Grand Army of this city was rep resented byD.P.

Dobyns, who spoke of Professor Hill's association with tins order. He was Meyer Post's first com ruanuer and eeryed tivo years; he was the first of its charter members to re ceive his muster out. He spoke of him as a leader: as one alwajs ready to do his duty, at all times and under all cir cumstance. In his fraternal relations was ennobling, refining nnd elevating; his charity was not nlwnys in ulms-giv ing.but every ready to forget the frailties of his comrades; Ins loyalty to every re sponsibility was of that character that inspired his comrades, and they always looked forward to their post meetings with pleasure, that they might have an evening with him nil to themselves, He was a tine specimen of our soldier citizen; returning from the fields of bat tie he entered school to make himself a teacher an educator, and this he did in its highest sense, until he becamo recognized in this section of our state and also in our sister stale, as one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of educa tors, ministers and thinkers. In the death of Comrade Hill the Grand Army of the Republic lost one of its brightest jewels.

In behalf of the Masonic fraternity of our city, Ur. U. u. brans, Master of Ore gon lodge, Bpoke as follows: To prepare a 6hort sketch of the life and work of friend and brother Mason involves a delicate responsibility. Per eonal friendship may lead to excessive laudation; nnd, to eay enough, nnd just what should be said, so as to recognize real merit, is equally dillicult.

I am requested to speak of our late brother. aa Mason. What is Freemasonry Freemasonry is delined to be a beautiful system of morals, veiled in allegory nnd illustrated bv symbols. Its tenets are brotherly loye, relief and truth. Its cardinal virtues are temperance, forti tude, prudence and justice, its re ngion is an unieigneu heliei in the one living and true God.

A man may have his name on a Ma sonic lodge register Bnd not be a Mason; he may know all the written and tin written work, and still not be a Mason; but it his belter is brotherly love, relief and truth, nnd he shows his faith by his works, like Brother Hill did, then be can claim to be a Mason. If his cardinal or chief virtues are temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice, and he has an unfeigned belief in the one living and true God, then, and then only can he claim to be a Mason. liro. O. C.

Hill was a temperate man, temperate in pleasures, temperate in speech, temperate in everything. He posessed fortitude that strength of firmness of mind which enables a person to encounter danger with coolness and courage, or, to bear pain or adversity without murmuring. He was a prudent man, sagacious in adapting means to ends, skillful in determining any line of conduct. He was, also, a just man, and justice in its widest sense is one of the most comprehensive words in our language, denoting absolute conformity to the rule of right, in principle nnd practice. And to crown all, it was his high sense of morn) obligation, nnd spirit of reverence or worship, which affected his heart with respect to the Deity.

He had that purity of heart, and led life that springs from habitual communion with God and a sense of his continual pres ence. Twenty-two years ago Krother Hill was initiated into the mysteries of Free- masory iy the brethren of Oregon lodge. During the year he eerved with credit to himself nnd honor to the fraternity, as Worshipful Master -tl, highest honor that the lodge can confer on any of its members, and during all the years that ho lived among us, he conducted himself as a Mns'in should, true to himself, true to his family, true to his country, true to hm Cod. Ami we can truthfull say, that we as aeons, are oeiier prepared to live as masons should live, by having had Jirother CI. C.

"He rained him pelf by raising others, an when htooo ing over a fallen brother lie stood erect," and llie wiofct hincere exprei-bion of gard that we can pay to the memory of HrothertJ. Hill, is to say he wan a Mason. tlliencea.

Ins in fluence remains with us however, to this day, and will remain, as the influence of a good life is imperishable "Tho' dead he yet speaketh nut Prof. Hill influence as an edu cator was not confined to the school room; in his associations with his fellow-men his gentlemanly bearmi; and his social qualities exercised an inlluence on every one with whom he came in con- tact.

1 can see him now as he is photo graphed in my mind, meeting you with extended hand, his head thrown slightly oacK, ins taca ht up with a Itindlv smile. expressing the feeling in his heart as he grasped your liaml in ins giving you a nearly hand shake; my friend, no one will extend such a greeting as this that is not whole suuled and big-hearted, I am remided since hearinc Elder Muupin's remnrk6 that Pro. Hill, while he was a member of the Uhristian church he was bigger thanjllie church, he was a man broad nnd generous in his views. taking into Christian fellowship men of all denominations that honored God. that while he was a loyal member of the Christian church he was also a member of the Presbyterian Sabbath school and teacher of a class, and took nn active part on our review days and wnsdeeplv interested in the success of our school we enjoyed his presence and help, it was an inspiration to nil or us.

To the in uuence oi ito. inn. more ihan to nnv other one man, we owe the beginning of thegood fellowship now existing between religious denominations of our city He was one of nature's noblemen. Mr. Robert Montgomery was a mem tier of the school board during professor Hill's seven years' connection with our school, nnd he was chosen to represent the board at these memorial exercises.

"I don't recall to mind any recent death that created a more profound sor row nnd astonishment in me than the sad Lews of Prof. Hills death, na I had not heard of his illness and supposed he was enjoying his usual health, I might add this feeling of sorrow was general in tliiB community among his old acquaintances.

auorns our citv in i i r' tto uii irt-i prilie; nut ue are indebted to Prof. Hill for the reputation throughout Northwest Missouri of the Oregon Normal nnd public school. It was through hia indefatigable energy, ana personality mat so many pupils from outside the school district were induced to attend our school, and while ne remained with us, the influence of the school wa9 extended nnd maintained, drawing pupils from other counties and other states, until we bnd bright hopes of having a State Northwest Normal established in our little city, but our geographical location nnd other in Mrs. Kate Thatcher renrescnted the lady students. She spoke feelinglv and at times throughout her remarks crave evidence or how keenlv she felt the loss of her old Mrs Thatcher said: Tonight, with sad hearts we meet, in loving remembrance of a man whom we reverence next to our parents.

The in fluence of a true teacher is incalculable and follows us throughout our lives, and aids in shaping, notunlyourown charac ters, but those who come after lis -like the ripple in the water ever broadening is it flows onward. Prof. Hill was to his students not onlv an instructor, he was an inspiration. His interest in each or us was a personal in terest, and after the lapse of years he rejoiced in our successis and deplored our failures. Always courteous, he walked before us a thorough gentleman, very careful in manner and language, he impressed his students In the force of evnmple in good manners.

man of loft ideas and high motives he constantly urged to a higher life. If his chapel talks were nut alwavs original, he gave us the liest he could ither from his study of the best think ers. When Prof. Hill lirst came to us. our literary fields were deserts, almost a barren as our great plains.

But here and there arose an oasis in the shape of luotationsfrom Emerson, Garfield. Mark Hopkins and others, whose names are familiar to a host of old students. And oitierson says brings back so vividly: mc world is a troop or thinkers anil the best heads take the best places," and whilc.with thecgotismof voung students. we sighed for a change, the precepts thus grounded into our minds and hearts, helped broaden our ideas and familiarize high class literature until almost iineon sciously we grew- up to it. Prof.

Hill as an instructor wasa nains taking man. I low often with unwearied patience he would go over and over a proposition until quite sure that it was thoroughly understood, and woe to the pupil who only thought he could see the point under discussion. He was verv sure to be brought to a realizing sense of his deficiency by a little touch to the sarcasm, which most of us dreaded more than a request that we appear before the facultv. The earnest student, who tried, no matter how dull, always found in this teacher a warm friend a'nd willing help and there are men and women in al most every walk of life who owe much of their success to his encouragement. He encouraged tersoiial otiinions.no matter if just opposite to those held Iit himself, and urged the opposing forces to exhaust every opportunity tostrength en and sustain their positions Then we thought it was merely for the sake or the subject under discussion, now we know it was fur thegood ue might glean from the books we searched and the mental strength the clash of opinions develoiel.

Tonight, as memory carries us back twenUjcars, ue arc glad to forget our little dilleri'iiccs of npinion.nr remember ing. regret our past in them, and recall how kind, helpful and true a teacher he waH, and with Ids o.vn chil drcii mourn his departure from os Prof. Hill was not an old man as leant go, but as he ho often quoted to live in deeds, not yearn: In thoughts, hot breaths: In feeling, not in figures mi a dial: I We iiiiint tune by heart throbs. He most lives, who thinks ino-t Feels the noblest, acts the beet. Counted by that standard Prof.

Hill lived a long, useful, beautiful life. May he in some brighter clime be able tiiec'i-an abundant harvest from seed he has sown in the minds mid hearts or his pupils. realize better the strong structure that ne mimical and rejoice that that is left to us left as an incentive to greater things, to better manhood and womanhood, to better citizenship and to better aspirations. I need not review for you the whole life of him in whose memory we are gathered tonight. Herein his old home; wo know full well the story of his struggles at school, his earnestness of purpose, his untiring zeal and his patriot-ism.

Whether in the school room as a pupil, whbther in the 6chool room aa a teacher, whether as a soldier fighting for the Hag ho loved, or whether as a minister of the Master whom he served so long and so well -in whntevercapa city he was called to that enl. he eave his I lest efforts and acquitted himself well. The strong spirit within him oft-times fretted because opjiortunity seemed limited by narrow bounds. But when that spirit left its earthly tenement it then realized that the bounds were only limited in seeming, and that the ever widening circle of his iifiucuco was en compassing far about and working in season and out of season for the common good. The helpfulness of his strong nature is felt today in the sturdv beat of the blacksmith's hammer as it rings un on the anvil in the far northwest It is felt upon the Pacific slope and in the north where the journalistic pen holds the mirror up to nature and records the deeds of men.

Though lie is dead his spirit is still felt through the ageney of ine nelpiui ptiysician, the lawyer battling for justice, the busy merchant and the industrious husbandman. Hissniritrlives in the action hundreds of young men and women who were unconsciously molded by him into helpful and useful members of society. loulti round in him an incentive to better effort: middle ago found in him a safe ndviser. and old age found in him the cheerfulness that lightens the burden of accumulated vears. who learned from him at school were wont to look unon him as a hard tasKinaster.

Today wo realize -O, how bitterly that what we deemed harsh ness was only kindness: that what we i i i i iuokih uiion as scuooiiiav ivranuv was only the supreme effort to fit us for the manly and the womanlv part in tin stern battle of life It has been said, '-The evil that men four suits of underwear, three nnirs of socks, two blue flannel shirts, two DlaiiKels, Kjuch and shelter tent (.

It is not true that hat the good men do is buried with their bones." The good, worked bv the Man of Nazareth, as he walked and taught along the shores of Gallilee, was not buried with lum in the tomb of seph of Aramanthen, but it met Him as He walked from the tomb in the irrav dawn of the resurrection morning, and it has lived through all the centuries since then, working a wondrous chamro upon all mankind. Magna Charta was not buried with the bones of the Barons who wrested it from King John at Run nyinede. but it lives wherever freemen sing and wherever libertv's voice is heard. I he great good wrought bv the Declara tion of Independence did not cease when Jefferson Ikjucs were laid in thn tomb. but its blood-bought principles have lived and grown in the rich soil of free men's hearts through all the succeeding years until they are bloomimr into the glorious flowers of universal libertv.

And so the good wrought by tho strong man whose name we hold in gentle memorv did not die with his mortal body. It still lives to work upon the h-art's and minds of those who knew him and upon those who will later come within the irele of that influence. He is not dead! The tenement of his earthly clay is deserted, but his spirit is still abiding with us the spirit of his helpfulness -nerving us to betterefforts. inciting us to greater works.

How well he played his part ujkiii the world's brief stage! How nobly he ran hisrace! How zealouslv he kept his faith! How grandly he finished his course!

One of the Pioneers Henry Minton, from near Fo 1 tescue. was in town last week, and I we had quite a pleasant chat with him. He is a gentleman of good intelligence, and has had a wide experience. He tells' us that he was lwrn in Wavne countv, Kentucky, on the 14th day 'or March.

Ia22, and hence he is 77 ears of age. His folks were extremely jioor, and his father died when lie (Henrv) was but 0 years old. This occurred in East Tennesseo to which place the folks had moved when Henry was but 3 years old. A family of eight children, fourbovsand four girls, was thus left for his mother to supjiort, and their agi-s ranged all the way from months to Ml vears -the oldest lieing a girl, the pecoiiifuvin Ikvs, Elisha and John, nnd the third the sub ject of this sketch, Henry. At the age of 14 young Henry and his mother and tho family removed to Missouri, and settled in Franklin county.

Here Henrv lived for 10 years until he was 21. He then took a prospecting trio into Texas. and while there the Mexican war came on, and on May 10, 1S17. at the town of liostrop, in Bostrop county, ho enlisted in Co. 1-1, 2nd Regiment, Texas Vols, which organization was afterwards called "Tevas Rangers." Sam Highsmith.

at that time a noted Texan, was his captain. His command was or dered lirst to Austin, then to San An tonio, from there to Frcderickshurirh. and ranged all along the frontier or Texas and Old Mexico. He served one year, the term of Ins enlistment, and when inschargi-tl came back via Galves ton and New Orleans to his home in Franklin county, Missouri. Here he spent but a few mouths and in August of the same ISIS) came in company with Ins brother r.hsha, to Oregon anil Holt county.

He was favornhlv impressed with Holt couutv, esiieeiailv the Mis souri river led loms in the vicinitv of where he now lives, and returned to Franklin couutv. intending to move his mother and folks here the next spring (1810) and make this their future home. About this time the gold discovery was made in California, and instead of com ing to Holt county, he, together with a Company of 00 or 70 other men and 20 wagons loaded with provisions, made the start on April 1, overland, with ox teams for California. In Henry's wagon, which had four yoke or cattle to it, were himself, his brother Isaac, and a neigh bor boy named James GrolF. Both the others died on the way, and Henry was the only survivor of his wagon nuss that ever re iched the gold diggings.

1 1 says that a great many people died on the way to California in those days, and that the last miles of the road was literally strewn with wagons, pieces of wagons, dead oxen, log chains, piles of bacon, tobacco, and every imaginable sort of wreckage anil plunder -and I worst of all many new made graven lined I the road on both sides. of the I daeth that occurred, were from what was called "mountain fevc-," and most of the cattle that died, did so from drinking alkali water. Mr. -Minton and tfie survivors of the company he went with, reached Sacramento Citv on the 4th day or October, 1S4! -having been on the road just six months and four days. He says that his whole outfit.

He was on the ocean for some miles, the ship stopping but once, to wit: at Akapulko. Old Mexico, for coal and water.

When he irrived at I 'an ma he rode a mule across the isthmus and took a ship lor Cuba. roni Cuba he returned to Orleans where he exchanged his gold dust and for gold coin.
