The sterling qualities and spiritual forces of Judge
Lomen's dharaeter have been recorded in the minds and hearts
of everyone. No chapter ran be closed in the history of Nome

by the life of this wonderful, father, friend, and brother, whose
deep-sighted philosophy and spirit of humanity h-s so moved him
in his long and eventful orb of life, that forever his memoiv
will be preserved.
The loss oT this man' is tragic to this community. Th"
loss to his family is great: to his friends, beyond estimate: to his
fellow citizens, of deep regret.
N'o attempt, can be made to ex toll fits virtU's; it is
impossible to consecrate his memory; lie has so far outdone
these beloved traits, as a man who has lived his spftn of years,
that to mention them would desecrate his life work.

services conducted today will pass into history as a last rite,
paid to the memory of a Great Father; a Great Brother; a Grpnt
Man; and k Never-to-fce-Forgotten Nomeite!
