Mr. Demaree took in the big parade, which he enjoyed all the more for his being a Knight Templar. The parade was not confined to the order; there was a parade of cowboys and of Indians.

Albert Demaree, one of the best known and most popular citizens of Quincy, passed away yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George L. Carley, No. 920 Sixth Avenue North.
His health has not been the best for a number of years past, and of late, erysipelas has been added to his physical woes. This latter disease made such inroads on his already enfeebled constitution that death, which came at 11:45, had been expected for some days past.
His sons and daughters in this city were at his bedside when the Grim Reaper knocked, and made his last moments peaceful and calm.
Mr. Demaree in the years that have passed was a prominent factor, and helped to make the history of Quincy. He came to this city from Stark County Ohio, when a lad of 8 years, in 1844, and since that time, has resided here continuously, except for a brief time in Edina Missouri.
In 1847, when 13 years of age, he commenced newspaper work with Austin Brooks, and followed this profession for many years, as printer, business manager, and proprietor. In public life, he has, at various times, held positions of responsibility and trust, and in all the years of his incumbency, there was no breath of suspicion against his acts. He was city clerk for a number of terms, and city controller. Up to last May, he had for a long time been secretary of the board of education.
He was a well known and greatly beloved Mason. For years past, he has been the secretary of Bodley lodge No. 1, the oldest lodge in the state of Illinois, and as such, was very popular. The records of Bodley are perfect through his having kept them, and the lodge has lost a most valuable officer and brother. Special action will be taken by his Masonic brothers to fitly express their deep sorrow at his departure from this vale of tears.
Mr. Demaree had ten brothers and sisters, and two of the latter survive him. In 1856, he was married to Miss Adeline Burlingame, of this city. She died in 1893, since which time he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Carley. The children who are left to mourn his loss are: Albert E., of Chicago; Mrs. N. O. Walker of Denver; Mrs. George L. Carley, Mrs. George Leggett, and Charles Demaree, all of Quincy.
Announcement of the funeral will be made later.
