Senator Landon delivered the following eulogy on the life of former Governor Ernest Lister, as follows:

In common with most of you present I first met Governor Lister upon his taking up the duties of state.

Memory brings us back to the dignified appearance, the sincere manner of the man who from that time on was a living power among men, molding public opinion and shaping the destiny of our state.

It is difficult for us and his loved ones indeed to realize that we shall hear the earnest tones of his voice no more, and be deprived of his counsel in time of need.

After having served the people for four years as the chief executive, he was re-elected without difficulty, for it can be truthfully said that he fought for them and they in turn for him; his acts were above suspicion and he discharged his duties with credit to himself and honor to the State.

A thorough and intimate knowledge of the state institutions and their requirements gained as secretary of the Board of Control, and finally as Governor, qualified him as an authority on the subject of the business conduct of the state government and gave weight to his recommendations for economy in state expenditures. He was a firm and able advocate of sane finance in public affairs and nothing in the record more redounds to his credit than his insistence upon and success in applying business principles in the administration of his office. He regarded a promise to the public as a sacred contract and bent every energy and effort to fulfill his promise to reduce the cost of government in this state by effecting practicable economies without crippling the legitimate

and normal functions of government or without failing to give proper care to the wards of the state.

He was an ardent champion of democracy and he realized that man was greater than anything that man could do and insofar as it was within his power he restored and protected the inalienable rights of the people.

Governor Lister was essentially a fighter. He never beat a retreat. There was neither weakness nor fear in his makeup.

He met every responsibility and every difficulty with strong courage and a determined purpose to insure justice to all. The severe test of war, no less exacting in its demands upon the civil officer than upon the soldier in the field, found him prepared and ready to discharge the duties that it imposed. He gave to his state and to his country the best service of which he was capable throughout the period of the war, and gave so unsparingly that physical strength failed under the self imposed burdens that he shouldered. He sacrificed health and life itself to his high sense of duty.

Our friends and loved ones pass from Life-and the rest is silence. Only faith can make a hopeful response, and never is Faith so hopeful as when regarding duty well done. From out the darkness of the tomb we hear the still small voice: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

Mr. Mansfield delivered the following eulogy on the life of W. G. Duncan: William George Duncan was a native of Ontario, Canada, born August 26, 1857, of Scotch-Irish ancestry. He came to Washington Territory in 1884 and on July 4 of that year he settled on a homestead at Egypt, Lincoln county, where in addition to farming, he conducted a store and post office for some years.

Before leaving Canada he was married to Mary Hemphill and nine children were born to them. In 1914 Mr. Duncan was elected to the Legislature from the 16th District, and served Lincoln County faithfully and conscientiously in the 1915 session.

He was known as a man of high ideals and honesty of purpose, and was an unswerving Republican from the time he became a citizen of the United States.

During the last two years of his life he resided at Deep Creek, Spokane County, where his death followed a surgical operation in May, 1919.

Mr. Richardson delivered the following eulogy on the life of S. H. Manley:

Dr. Sherie H. Manley was a prominent physician and surgeon of Northeastern Washington. He was born on a farm near Norwalk, Ohio, March 10, 1847. He was a graduate of the Keokuk (Iowa) Medical College, receiving his diploma in 1873. In the early 80's he came west to California and later moved to the Territory of Washington. He was elected to the territorial legislature from Whatcom County in 1884. In 1885 he crossed the mountains into Eastern Washington and located at Colville, and from Stevens County was elected to the constitutional convention which convened in 1889.

At the time of the mining boom on the Colville Indian Reservation he moved from Colville to the city of Republic where he continued to reside until a few years ago when he moved to San Francisco. Dr. Manley took an active part in civic affairs of Ferry County serving for a number of years as county physician or coroner.

He built and equipped a hospital and was active in promoting every public enterprise.

In 1877 Dr. Manley married Miss Florence Gotel of Saginaw, Mich., and to that union eight children were born, of whom three daughters, a son and their mother still survive.

His death in San Francisco in June, 1920, was not unexpected as he had been in a very serious condition for a long time. He leaves a host of friends in Northeastern Washington who sincerely regret the passing of one of nature's gentlemen, a man admired for his ability, his generous, genial and kindly disposition.

Senator Adamson delivered the following eulogy on the life of Jacob Hunsaker:

Away back in 1845, in Adams County, Illinois, on the 22nd day of January, Jacob T. Hunsacker, and Emily Hunsacker, his wife, living in a humble home, coming from the old pioneers of Pennsylvania, to them on this day was born Jacob Hunsacker

(and in later days was called Jake Hunsacker by his more intimate friends). At the age of one year and a half his father and mother, longing for the land of the setting sun, started on the old ox trail for the State of Oregon, and landed, after a long and dangerous journey, near Oregon City, where they made their home on a farm.

The boy at an early age determined to secure an education such as was afforded in the country school, and on merging into young manhood, without any advantages, worked his way partially through Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon. After securing his education he came to the State of Washington and taught school in Thurston County for a period of three years. Being of an adventurous nature, in the year 1872, he went to Peru, South America, where he was employed by a railroad construction company. After residing in Peru for a little over one year, he again set out on a long journey and landed at Olympia, Washington.

In 1873, on the 1st day of May, he was married to Elizabeth Chambers, a native of Thurston County, living at Chambers Prairie. In 1875 they located on a farm near what is now called Underwood. In 1883 he removed to White Samon, where he was engaged in general merchandising. During the years 1885 to 1889 he was county commissioner of Klickitat County. In the fall of 1889 he was elected as State Senator for Klickitat and Skamania Counties and served during his term of office. In 1892 he moved to Everett, Washington. During his residence in Everett he was honored by being elected mayor for two terms, also city treasurer. During his active life he was always interested in the welfare of others. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hunsacker.

Mr. Hunsacker was a great admirer of Abraham Lincoln, and always loved his country and his fellow men. Many young men will remember him for his fatherly advice and council.

On the morning of December 27, 1920, Mr. Hunsacker, the pioneer, the husband, the father, the Christian gentleman, the friend of, all, arose as usual and spent an active day in his office. About 4 o'clock in the evening, on his way home to his loved ones, without any warning, his Heavenly Father said: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Thus ended the earthly career of our friend and brother.

Senator Coman delivered the following eulogy on the life of former Governor Miles C. Moore:

Mr. President, the Governor, Members of the House and Senate, Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is a high privilege to be permitted to stand here for a few brief moments and recount some of the salient points in the life and career of that distinguished citizen and pioneer developer of the Northwest, Hon. Miles C. Moore, the last Governor of the Territory of Washington.

Miles C. Moore was born in Muskingum, Ohio, April 17th, 1845. At the early age of twelve years, with his parents, he removed to the State of Wisconsin where he received his education. Of an adventurous spirit, his eyes turned toward the setting sun. The tales of wondrous natural resources and agreeable climate of this sparsely settled region of the Northwest fired the ambition of young Moore and he broke the home ties to try his fortune in the new land before he had attained his majority. Availing himself of the varied forms of transportation in use in that early day, he arrived in Walla Walla in 1863. His most engaging personality won him friends from the start and although penniless and unknown he soon found employment and shortly thereafter was admitted to the firm. Later he associated with Dr. D. S. Baker, who was then one of the most prominent, wealthy and progressive citizens of the Northwest, with very extensive business interests. In 1873 he was married to Mary Elizabeth, the oldest daughter of Doctor Baker, and resided in Walla Walla continuously until the time of his death, December 18, 1919. In 1869, in association with Eugene Boyer, there was founded the Baker-Boyer Bank, later converted into a national bank, and at the present time the oldest financial institution in the state and the largest in point of resources in the territory which it serves. Governor Moore was actively identified with its management as its vice-president and in 1899 as its president, which office he held until the time of his death. His business career was one of almost uninterrupted success, and at his death he left a most substantial fortune as a result of his faith in the future of this state and his untiring industry coupled with sagacity in his investments. His dependability and right judgment
