Funeral of H. L. Gray, of Orofino, Held Yesterday - His friend, C.A. Clifford, Offers Eulogy at the Grave
The funeral of H. L. Gray, whose death occured at Orofino on Tuesday, was held yesterday from the Vassar undertaking parlors in this city, the interment being made in the Lewiston Cemetery.
The remains were brought to the city yesterday morning on the Clearwater train, accompanied by relatives and friends, and the funeral immediately followed.
The deceased was a highly-honored Idaho pioneer and a number of old-time freinds from Lewiston and Clarkston were in attendance at the funeral, while among the pall-bearers were the following: C. A. Clifford of Pierce; Dr. J. Q. Moxley, of Lewiston; Martin Meuli and P.T. Lomas, of Clarkston; Isaac Hunsperger and Henry Gleason were the other pall-bearers.
The deceased, in in his lifetime had made the request that his friend, C.A. Clifford, make any remarks to be offered at his funeral and in pursuance of that request, Mr. Clifford spoke at the grave yesterday, feelingly referrring to the character of the departed pioneer, Mr. Clifford said;
" We have met here today to pay the solemn debt life owes to death; to commit to earth all that remains of H. L. Gray, a pioneer of Idaho and a pilot of its present civilization since it was along the trails that he helped to blaze, the multitude has passed to empire. Honest as the polar star, generous as this fair land he knew and loved so long and well, he won and deserved to win the confidence and esteem of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
Today he needs no grander eulogy - no epitaph could be more fitting - than this simple statement of the truth:
"He was a man, rich in all those nobler attributes the word implies. To this bereaved family, who realize that the strongest bond of their love and __nmity is broken beyond mending, it is not for me to offer condolence by uttering empty platitudes since time is the sole philosopher that can soothe the heart that sorrows.
"For reasons sufficien to himself, our friend declined to accept Christianity as preached and practices today, but if there be be a larger, better life than this fleeting one we know, , which considered as a part of Nature's vast eternal plan is less than little, then he of the chill brow and pulseless heart has solved the problem and hense is wiser far then any left to follow him."
"We know for every cradle there must be a grave. We know it is "the common lot" where age and infancy. in everlasting amity, 'sleep our the sabbath of the dead,' and yet, and yet-we would know more.
