Show SHELBY M. CULLOM Former Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois, whose death ended fifty years of continuous public service. was preached by the Rev. Duncan C. Macleod, and eulogies were delivered by Governor Dunne, Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman and Clinton L. Conkling, from the same rostrum from which Mr. Cullom five times addressed leg islatures which had elected him to the upper house at Washington. With Governor Dunne among the speakers and former Governors Fifer, Yates and Deneen present, the -twi-dience included all the governors now living who followed Mr. Cullom into the gubernatorial chair. The predominant strain of the eulogies eul-ogies was the unassuming honesty and steadfastness of the decedent. |
