IN MEMORIAM
DIED At St. Anthony'H hospital Jn

years 8 months and three days.
How shall we recall the fond
memories that cluater about onr
beloved dead? How shall we por.
tray the nobleness of his character
the purity of bis life the gentle-
ness of his disposition? How
shall we describe his affection as
father his tenderness as son and
brother his devotion as husband
his sincerity as friend? How shall
we impart the patience of his suf-
fering the unfailing fidelity of his
trust in the great Healer of all our
infirmities the sorrow and deso-
lation that at his death fell like a
dark pall upon the 'hearts xf the
loved ones left behind?
We know that all things must
end: work play pleasure pain
- life! "Man that is born of
woman is of few days and full of
sorrow." The brief term of his
existance is but a passing dream
a story that is briefly told and
his Bpirit drifts away on the bosom
of that tranquil silent river that
winds with noisleBS murmurs
through the gloom shaded shadows
of the Valley of Death.
.To eulogize the deeds and pre-
serve the memory of our dead
from oblivion and forgetfulness is
at once our privilege and our
sacred duty. Since the dawn of
civilization men have made ex-
pression at the death of their fel-
lows whether such dead were citi-
zen statesman or soldier. Real
izing that 1 "all flesh shall perish
together and men shall turn again
unto dust" we are naturally in-
spired with the desire lhat we may
be remembered after death: that
after our earthly remains shall
have been laid away to sleep
throughout the silent centuries yet
to come to crumble and to decay
to fall away to dust awaiting the
.final day we are fed by the hope
that bo me. human heart that yet
beats may cherish a memory of
us may yearn for "one touch of
the vanished hand one sound of
the voice thatis still." Prompted
by such feelings we come to
chronicle the sad death of our
townsman and friend Emmett
McDonald Ming and to pay a last
ribute to his memory.
The deceased was born in Frank-
lin county Missouri December
3rd I860. His father Judge J.
M. Ming a decendant of that
chivalrous race of . men who peo-
pled "The Old Dominion" settled
in Franklin County Mo. at an
early day and is one of the most
honored and beloved citizens of
that good old county. The mother
of the deceased is a God-fearing
Christian woman a faithful wife
and a loving mother belonging to
that noble type of womanhood
found in the south in the happy
days before the war. Both lather
and mother have reached a good
old ago have neared their three
score years and ten in their bos-
pitable home in the quiet town of
Washington where Emmet their'
youngest son grew lrora childhood
to young manhood. To Judge
Ming and his wife a number of
children have been born four of
whom two eons and two daughters
are still living. Emmet M. Ming
spent bis boyhood days upon the
farm living close to nature and
close to nature's God living a
quiet upright life. As a jcarg
man he was honest industrious
God-fearing domestic without a
single enemy and with a kind
word for every one and a helping
hand for the sick the weary and
the disconsolate in Imb midst. In
1891 he was happily married td
Miss Emma Wallace of Marshfleld
Mo. coming at once to Vinita in
the Cherokee nation Indian Ter-
ritory having selected it e his
future home. For several years
Mr. Ming was engaged in the
hardware and furniture business
in Vinita and at the time of his
death was running a furniture
establishment. God blessed his
union and added to the happiness
of his married life a son Chris-
topher Ming and a daughter
Martha Lelia Ming. In 1899 he
built a comfortable home in Vini-
ta for bis family surrounding them
with all of the comforts of life and
preparing a place for them and for
himself in his old age. No man
was ever more happily married
and his affection for his wife and
children was tender and strong.
He was never happier than when
at home with his family playing
with his children. His devotion
to his father and mother was
beautiful to Bee and he never
epoke of them but in the most en-
dearing terms and he loved his
brothers and Bisters with the love
of a child and was never known
to falter in his friendship for a
friend. He was an active member
of the Knights of Pythias" order
and about a year and a half ago
openly and in the presence of men
and angels he declared his iaith
in Jesus Christ the eon of the
ever-living God and dedicated his
heart and consecrated his life to
the cause of the Lowly Nazarehe
and became a consistant active
member of the Methodist Church
South in Vinita. During the time
be lived in Vinita his life was to
us as an open book and no man
ever heard him say aught against
his fellow man nor heard his
fellow man say anything unkind
of him.
But God had marked him for a
higher life God had chosen him
for another world God had seen
his fruits and judged them and
had whispered to him "Well done
thou good and faithful servant en-
ter thou into thejoys of thy Lord."
He had been in failing health for
a number of years before his
death. Early in the spring of
this year ere yet the snows of
winter had melted away he was
seized with a violent and lingering
attack of fever' holding him bed-
fast for nearly three months.
Through this sickness he was
patient and kind hopeful and
gentle loving and good enduring
pain and confinement without a
murmur of complaint. Rallying
from this attack he grew strong
