REMAINS LAID TO REST IN MORRIS HILL CEMETERY
SERVICES AT THE CHURCH
Impressive Sermon Delivered by Father Frohn-Music by a Select Choir

     All that was mortal of J.S. Ryan, who died Saturday night, was consigned to earth yesterday afternoon, the interment being in Morris Hill cemetery. The funeral services were held in St. Johns Catholic church at 2 o'clock. The house of worship was filled with sorrowing friends when the casket, covered with lovely floral offerings, was borne in by the pall bearers, C.E. Chrisman, J.I. Crutcher, George E. Smith, James Wickersham, B.S. Howe and Joseph Pinkham. Mrs. Ryan was supported by her father, R.H. Leonard, Sr., and Mrs. Leonard by her son, R.H. Leonard, Jr., of Silver City.
      The services were in charge of Father Frohn. The music was rendered by a select choir, the solemn chant and the sweet strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" being most impressive.
     Father Frohn spoke briefly, calling attention to the fact that there were many, now in the prime of life, as was the deceased, who at any moment might be called upon to answer to their Maker and who were unprepared. Would this sad occasion cause them to halt in their mad rush for earthly preferment and think of there hereafter? Would they go on as they had and be summoned unprepared to meet their God?
     The deceased, Father Frohn said, had made his peace with his Maker prior to his death, and when he dropped into is long last sleep he was received into his Savior's arms. Would no all those present endeavor so to live that, when the angel of death beckoned them to cross the dark river their heavenly election would be sure and those left behind would know they stood around the Great White Throne?
     The words of the reverend father sunk deep into the minds of all those present, and there was scarcely a dry eye in the audience when he closed.
     The band, of which the deceased was at one time the leader, headed the funeral procession, marching to a point beyond the railroad crossing, playing a mournful dirge, and then returning owing to the bad condition of the roads. The procession wended its way over the hill to the cemetery and the remains of him who by his rectitude and lovable natural had won for him the warm friendship of so many were lowered into the grave.

Laid to Rest Yesterday in Morris Hill Cemetery
     The remains of Thomas J. Sutton were laid to rest in the Morris Hill cemetery yesterday afternoon. The funeral services were held at the residence of K.P. Plowman on Main and Thirteenth streets and were largely attended. Beautiful floral tributes from life long friends of the deceased lay upon the coffin. The choir sang "Rock of Ages" and Rev. C.E. Deul read the Episcopalian burial service. "Nearer My God to Thee" was also sung and D.L. Badley of Meridian delivered a brief and impressive address in memory of the dead.
     Mr. Bradley spoke of the self sacrificing character of the deceased. "He was a philanthropist,: he said, "of the broadest type," and it was his many acts of charity and devotion to humanity that brought him to his grave a poor man. "Here lies my friend, an honest man," he said, "and during my many years of acquaintance with him I never knew him to commit a dishonorable act."
     The pall bearers were J.I. Crutcher, J.H. Hawley, Captain James Baxter, George A. Williams, W.C. Tatro and Cal White.

HEROES AWA-- LAST REVE--E
Funerals of Volunteers ----- ---- Colvin, Who Fought for the Flag.
Born in the same township in Michigan, in the same year, going as comrades from Idaho to fight for the flag in Manila, returned together, dying on the same day-coincidents in the lives of Jay H. Hard and Bert Colvin, two heroes of the Philippine war, who yesterday were laid to final rest. The funeral of the former was held at 10 o'clock from the residence of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Hard, in South Boise. The Colvin funeral was held from the residence of Mrs. Henderson, 643 Hays street, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
There was a striking similarity in the funerals. The caskets were identical and the floral pieces were alike; volunteer comrades acted as pall bearers; tributes were spoken of each, and words of comfort for those left behind. There was one difference, however. In one case father and mother, sister and brother hovered tearfully around the bier of their loved one. In the other no relatives were present with the exception of two brothers; but away off in Michigan the hearts of aged parents were breaking. The news of the death of their soldier boy had been flashed to them shrouding their hearts in sorrow. Could they have known the tender care received by their boy at the hands of strangers, the noble women of the volunteer corps; could they have known how those strangers laid their boy to his final rest, the keen grief caused by the news of his death so far away from home would have been in a measure lessened. The remains of Volunteer Hard were laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery, while those of Volunteer Colvin were interred in the Morris Hill cemetery.

DEATH OF A JAP
K. Nogame, one of the Japs employed on the Idaho Midland, died Tuesday night about 11 o'clock at the camp in Boise canyon of consumption. The funeral was held yesterday from the undertaking parlors of J.D. McGuire, the remains being buried in Morris Hill cemetery. The deceased was born in Okayama, Japan, and was 25 years of age. He had been in this country about a year.
It seems the Jap had been failing for some time and that for the three months previous to his death the rest of the Japs had been paying his expenses and keeping him. Each Jap laid aside a certain portion of his wages and these amounts were used for this purpose. The expenses of the funeral were paid by the Idaho Midland Railroad company.

     Mr. Strode had suffered severely from hemorrhages for five weeks prior to his death, since which time he has been confined to his bed practically continuously. He became perceptibly weaker and yesterday, when it was seen he could no longer throw off the blood, it was known the end was near.
     His attorney, W.E. Borah, was summoned to arrange for the disposition of the property. It is said he left his live stock to be divided among his sons, seven in number. He had not concluded the disposition of his real estate when death overtook him.

DIED FAR FROM HOME
Rubin F. Coleman, the man whom the Boise Relief society has cared for for some days past at the Boise Sanitarium, died Wednesday night about 12 o'clock.
He has been suffering for some time with a muscular paralysis of the right side. This finally affected his head and caused his death.
Mr. Coleman's was a sad case. He was a Canadian by birth and had spent the greater part of his life in the piano business. His health failing, he resolved to travel. When he arrived here some six weeks ago his money was almost gone, and he feeling better, tried to work, but was soon forced to his bed. He was then stopping at the Central hotel, and his experience from the time of leaving there until taken in charge by the Relief society, has been previously narrated in The Statesman. His brother in Iowa was notified of his death, but was too poor to have the body shipped to him. A funeral service was therefore held at St. Michael's church at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and he was given a Christian burial in Morris Hill cemetery.

Well Known Boise Farmer Dies as Result of Burns.
CASE WITHOUT A PARALLEL
His Back Burned to a Crisp Without Pain and Death Comes Equally Painless-Funeral Today at Dry Creek Cemetery
     P.L. Schick, one of the best known and popular farmers in Ada county, died at his home on Dry creek at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. The funeral will be held from the Dry Creek church at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. E.N. Murphy of the Second Presbyterian church will officiate. Interment will be made in Dry Creek cemetery.
     Mr. Schick never recovered from the burns suffered by him Saturday evening on his way home from this city. The Statesman contained a full report of the strange occurrence about how his clothes burned off his body without causing him any pain.
     When Dr. Bowers examined the unfortunate man's condition as quickly as he could reach the Schick home after the strange accident, he found his shoulders and back absolutely charred, being burned until the bones could almost be seen. Mr. Schick did not feel the slightest pain when the physician was dressing the awful burns. The physicians his case is a most remarkable one. Being in good health, how injuries that proved fatal could have been sustained without pain is a mystery. After the burning of his body the shock to the system was great and from it he never recovered. He died as a result of the shock, explained the physician in charge. The books show that no one ever recovers from a scald which destroys one third of the epidermis of the human body. Fully that amount was destroyed on Mr. Schick so that death was certain as an immediate result of the accident.
     The deceased was well known in this city as a large hearted man of a most kindly nature. He owned a well improved farm of 400 acres, one of the best in Ada county.
     He leaves a wife and daughter. The latter is the wife of Forest See.

Mr. Martin was engaged in the ground sluice breaking the lumps as they tumbled in from the hydraulic. They were piping at the time on a face some thirty feet high, containing so before a proportion of stiff clay that it hung together at the top and was stubborn about caving, until the pipeman had cut it under considerably, when it gave way at the top and swung over instead of crumbling (..?..) was expected to do, terribly mashing and mangling the deceased, breaking his nick, back and legs, killing him instantly, and very nearly striking another man who was working with him, but who discovered the cave in time to escape. The remains of the deceased were buried yesterday in Buena Vista cemetery, by friends who have known him for several years at Forest Cities, California, and who speak of him as a very exemplary citizen, of good habits. – Boise News
