Wilkinson yesterday af- 'H tcrnoon were Frank K. Ncbckcr, i W. II. Apperley nnd Willard 'H Lnngton. Higher tributes could ': not be given than those paid by i;l tho first speawers, especially from H W. II. Apperley, who, perhaps, il was better acquainted with tho rl deceased than any others except- ' ing members of his own family. The deceased, just beforo his ll death, asked Mr. Apperley to t-H say to tho people that he "never tH injured any one knowingly." The H talk of Willard Langton was fl pathetic and touching. The First ll National Bank closed their busi- rl hess during 'Hie funeral, the dc- I'l cescased being a heavy stock- j H holder. Tho pall bearers were A. 'H M. Fleming, James Quayle, Le- '-H roy Cardon, John II. Anderson, C'' Thomas Smart, Soren Hansen, Ilyrum Crockett and Orval rl Adams. In the passitfg away of -H J. W. Wilkinson, Logan loses ' one of her best citizens. He was til unassuming, but honest to the i'l core, independent in character -1 nnd living for that which ho be- ll licved was right. As ono of the ll speakers said, the deceased ad- jl hcrcd strictly to the - admonition, "Man be true to thyself and thy ' ;!H God, and ns sure ns night follows 1 clay thou cans'f not He fnlse to 'tl nny mnn."
