DEATH OF MR. BAME
Nicholas Bame, who died Sunday after a brief illness from pneumonia, was buried Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church, the Rev. Herbert Jones and the Rev. C. E. Hodges conducting the services. The church was completely filled by sorrowing friends of the deceased who had resided here for the past twelve years. A quartette composed of Mrs. Harry Fountain, Miss Beatrice Handy, Messrs E. Edson and Frank Knapp sang several beautiful selections. Mrs. H. H. Jamieson acted as organist. The floral tributes were many and beautiful.
Mr. Bame was born January 2, 1837, in Union County, Ohio, and had almost reached the 76th milestone of life. On March 3, 1864, he was married to Miss Mary Pifer, who survives him. No children ever came to bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bame, but they made a home for no less than seven orphan children, one of whom, Hattie B. Bame, they adopted, but death claimed her in 1890 when the family was living in Michigan.
Mr. Bame's early life was spent in his native state, Ohio, but a few years after his marriage, he and his wife moved to Bangor, Michigan where they resided until twelve years ago, when they came to Lynden, which has since been their home.
The deceased was a civil war veteran, and the members of the local G. A. R. and W. R. C. attended the funeral in a body. The pallbearers were Messrs. Wampler, Worthen, Wilcoxen, Baker, Price and Runyon.
Mr. Bame was a member of the Church of God, but there being no church of that denomination here he did not unite with any church, but attended and contributed generously to them all. He was of a quiet, dignified, kindly disposition charitable and loving, and his gentle and cheery presence will be sadly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Besides his widow, Mr. Bame is mourned by Mr. J. C. Beach, a nephew, residing in Lynden, and other relatives in the east.
