WM. R. BARTHOLOMEW
William R. Bartholomew died at St. Joseph's hospital in Denver, Sunday, January 11, where he had been for several weeks. He underwent four different operations for internal ulcers and grew rapidly weaker until the end came. His body was brought to Steamboat Springs on the train Monday.
Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church in Steamboat Springs Wednesday afternoon with the full Masonic ritual. The Knights Templar were present in uniform. Rev. G. E. Kitchen was in charge of the church service. A mound of flowers covered the casket and floral pieces were placed on tables and along the chancel rail Mrs. Clay Shaw, Mrs. Sam Stevens, Mrs. Claude Beverly, Mrs. H. O. Martin, Howard Saunders and J. M. Kellogg sang "Lead Kindly Light" at the opening of the service and "Rock of Ages" at the conclusion Mrs. C. R. Towne played the piano accompaniment for the choir. A solo, Above Blue Skies, was sung by B. G. Bradley with Mrs. Bradley at the piano. The solo was the favorite hymn of W. R. Bartholomew.
In his sermon Rev. Kitchen said that there were two outstanding factors in the life of Mr. Bartholomew, that he had made the decision to live the life of a Christian at an early age and that he always had a song in his heart. When a parent can leave to children a religious background of life he has left something more worth while than millions in gold, a heritage that will reach into eternity. W. R. Bartholomew had the spirit of song in his life, he was always singing when about his tasks, and when he was not singing he was whistling, bringing into his life cheerfulness and strength. He had melody in his soul. He had honesty and integrity in his dealing with others, elements in his character which entitled him to say that he had fought the good fight and kept the faith, said Mr. Kitchen.
The church was not large enough to accommodate the many people who came to pay the last tribute to their friend. They came from Oak Creek and all down the valley as far as Hayden. Only a limited number could go to the cemetery because teams and sleds were used. But they came from all directions in cars to Steamboat Springs.
The pallbearers were Elmer Combs, Russell R. Baer, Charles Harwig, Dr. F. J. Blackmer, Claude Beverly and Jesse Mulkey. Interment was in the Steamboat cemetery where the final Masonic rites concluded the ceremony. The Steamboat stores were closed during the funeral service.
William Robert Bartholomew was born near Cedarville, Kans., August 21, 1875. He was the oldest son of C. P. T. and Lizzie A. Bartholomew. His education was received in the schools of Kansas. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church when but a boy and remained a faithful member and an active worker in the church during his life. Especially did he enjoy the singing and for many years was a member of the choir. His love for music was evident thruout his life and he went about his daily tasks with a song on his lips. He sang because there was a song in his heart always.
His life was dedicated to the high principles of honesty and integrity always square in his dealings and in his treatment of others.
In 1901 he was married to Miss O. C. Wilson of Moline, Kans. To this union were born two daughters. He was a kind and loving father, a devoted husband and always ready to sacrifice himself in service and devotion to his family.
He was associated in business with his brother, O. C. Bartholomew, for many years and they had always worked together in the most intimate way.
In his passing he leaves to mourn their loss his widow and two daughters. Mrs. Fern Barber and Mrs. Thelma Osland, his aged mother, one sister, Mrs. Villa Dillon of Yale, Okla., and six brothers Oliver C. of Steamboat Springs, H. H. and Alfred of Stillwater, Okla., Roy, Jesse and Almon of Cedarville, Kans., and many other relatives and a host of friends. In his passing the community has lost one of its most respected citizens. W. R. Bartholomew had been appointed deputy assessor by Clarence Horton, the new assessor who took office Tuesday, January 13. He had become a member of the Masonic lodge in Oklahoma and became affiliated with the Steamboat lodge after he made his home here. He was a member of the Lions club. He was a successful farmer in the Deer Park section and had retired from the farm to make his home in Steamboat Springs about a year ago.
