Mr. hum
It is with extreme regret tba
we chronicle the death of Mr.
James Clelaod, who passed
away to the great beyond on
Saturday at 7 p. ®- at tbe res-
idence of his son, George Ole-
land, at Black Bayou, after a
long and buffering Illness of
nine weeks. In ttie month ot
May while following bis trade
as a painter he suddenly became
ill, but a.ter a valiant attempt
to recover it was tbought he
would ultimately get better;
however, a few days agu the
trouble took a seruus turn
which terminated in the pass-
ing away ot an old warrior in
his seventy fourth vear.
A native R Augustine, Fla.,
he came to QTexas fifty five
years ago. Ou the o. tbreak of
the war he enlisted in company
D of Griffith’s Battallion which
did such valiant service in as-
sisting the ships to run the
blockade arourid Sabine Pass.
Shortly after peace was declur
ed, became to Orangj where
he spent the most of the inter
veiling time as a house painter.
Many a story did he tell of
ttie stirring times whicn left the
land desolate, and being a great
tavorite with the young people,
his company was eagerly sought
alter by all whom he came in
contact with.
He is survived by two sons,
George Cleland who lnes at
Black Bayou and John Cleland
who lives at Apalacbacola, Fla.
R. S. Bla.ke of Jasper , wno
was visiting his brother at the
Holland, left this morning. He
stated that his brother is pro-
gressing very favorably and
expects to be able to take him
home at no distant date.

A Pioneer of Orange Passed Over
the (Treat Divide to the
Heavenly homo.
A great wave of sarrow and
sympathy swept over the entire
town ot Orange yesterday after-
noon when it was announced
that Hon- Jerome Swinford had
breathed hie last, after a linger-
ing illness,death occunngabout
halt past three o’clock.
For several months past Mr.
Swinford lias becu in (ailing
health and was notableto leave
home, even 10 come to town,
and for the past few weeks his
failing strength would not per-
mit his leaving the bed.
Although accustomed to an
active out door lite and iuterest
in everything of a public nature,
Mr Swinford bore his enforced
confinement with fortitude and
a patience that was an inspira
tioti to all who visited his home
during Ins fatal illness.
No man in Orange county was
more un;versally loved and re-
spected than was Terome Swin-
ford, and Ins death has caused a
feeliug of sorrow in every home
where be was known that could
be surpassed only by a direct
personal loss in that home.
A resident ot Orange for ti rty
three years, he has seen this
place grow iroin a straggling
settlement along the river’s bank
to a llourishiu , prosperous city
of nearly seven thousand souls.
In this growth and prosperity
he has had an active part, and
nothing has ever bteu proposed
for the good ol Orange that did
not receive his hearty encour-
agement and support.
His advice and counsel has
been sought by many who were
struggling with the battle ot
life, and never has he refused to
aid and advise, and through his
wise counsels many young men
have been enabled to escape
pitfalls that lined their paths
and have found a fruition of
their hopes and desires.
An upright, honest Christian
gentleman, his life was noble
and pure. He died a member
of the Presbytrrian church and
with a faith, simple and un-
shaken, in the redeeming pow-
er ol his Savior, and when the
final summons came he went
peacefully and quietly, a s
though tailing asleep in the
arms of his Redeemer. Hisjliving
example and his peaceful taking
ried on a successful business
until 1880 when be retired. In
this yesr be was elected to the
state legislature from tb»s dis-
trict and bad the distinction of
carrying bis home county with-
out a dissenting vote. He suc-
cessfully and ratUfactorily
served the people in the legis-
lature but declined to stand tor
re election.
As mayor, alderman, member
ol the School Hoard and secre-
tary ot the Board ot Trade, Mr,
Swintord served the people of
Orange and no man ever fulfill-
ed his civic duties more faith
fully oi with a greater desire
to benefit his town ai.d his
people.
Deceased was a charter mem-
ber of Madison Lodge No. 126,
A. F. & A. M. and at his death
was one ot five surviving life
members ot that lodge. He
was also a member o f the
Knightsof Honor.
Deceased leaves a wife at
two daughters, Mrs. A ldie Dil-
lard and Mrs. May Short and
Orange, two sons, Walter and
Willie, a brother, Sam T. Swin-
ford and a sister, Mrs. Joanna
Sims, at Houston, and a sister,
Mrs. W. T. Augell, at Chicago,
to mourn his demise.
This writer feels a distinct
personal loss in the death of
Mr. Swinford, for to me he has
been like a father, fr«end and
counsellor, ever ready to lend a
helping hand when l faltered
in my work. I can never for-
get his many acts of thoughtful
kindness—they are engraved
upon ti e tablets of my memory
forever. /

Laid to Rest in fiver
Followed by au immense con-
course of people, forming the
moat imposing funeral cortege
ever seen in Orange, the re-
mains of Hon. Jerome Swinford
were laid away in the r last
resting place under the sough-
ing pines in Evergreen Cemete-
ry yesterday afternoon.
The funeral services w re
held at the tamlly residence at
half,past 8 o’clock, being con -a
ducted by Rev. T. J. Horne,
under whose ministrations Mr. |M
Swinford had been received into
ttie Presbyterian church. Mr.
Home was assisted by Rev. H.
T Cunningham, pastor ot the
Methodist Church. During the |
service those beautiful old
it v m n s, “A’ptde With Me,”
"Asleep in Jesus," and "Near-
er My God to Thee," were ren-
dered by the choir. The Ma-
sonic service was conducted uy
Chas. E. Keppler.
The casket that contained all
that was mortal ol the deceased
pioneer was piled high with the
most magnificent floral tributes,
one in the shape ot a Grecian
laurel crown i aving been sent
by the editor of Southwest, tbe
Houston lumber journal tor
which Mr. Swinford had been
correspondent tor many years,
another, a cross ot delicate
white hyacinths, sent ny the
Eastern Star, and many . othes-
from individuals and jpganisar
lions, attenting the love and
esteem in which the deceased
citizen and his family were
held.
The Masonic fraternity, Con-
federate Veterans, Daughters
of the Confederacy and the
Eastern Star, attended the fu-
neral In a body, while many
people from Beaumont, Hous-
ton, Jasper and other East Tex-
as points were present to pay
their last tribute ot respect to
the honored dead.
A pathetic incident in con*
nection with the funeral was
the gathering in front of the
house of a numoer ot the old
colored men ot Orange, men of
the old slave regime, who bad
known Mr. Swinford during and
after the war, and tor whom he
always had a kind word and
cheerful smile, and many of
whom nad been beneficiaries ot
bis bounty durtug his lifetime.
Among the visitors who came
loan Beaumont to attend the
obsequies wereC d. Mark Weiss,
whose memory contains pleas-
ant recollections of his intimate
mate association with Mr. Swin-
ford in tbe early day* ot East
