STILLMAN ORICK

TRIBUTE TO STILLMAN ORICK

STILLMAN ORICK IS NO MORE , HAVING DEPARTED THIS LIFE ON FEB. 9TH , 1920. HE HAD BEEN A RESIDENT OF THIS COUNTY FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS AND FOR THE LAST FOURTEEN YEARS HAD LIVED ON THE FARM OF J. M. FUTRELL .

HE WAS A MEMBER OF A HUNTING PARTY WHICH HAD GONE ON A TWO WEEKS HUNTING TRIP EVERY FALL , EXCEPT ONE , SINCE 1903 AND STILLMAN HAS BEEN WITH THE PARTY EACH TIME , EXCEPT IN 1918.

HE WAS ALWAYS A FAVORITE WITH THE BOYS AND THEY ALWAYS WANTED STILLMAN ALONG. HE WAS A NATURAL BORN WOODSMAN AND HUNTER HAVING KILLED MORE THAN FORTY DEER SINCE COMING TO THE STATE. HE DID NOT HUNT FOR PROFIT , BUT SOLEY FOR SPORT. HE LOVED THE DEEP TANGLED WILD WOODS , THE CHASE AND THE CAMP. IN CAMP HE WAS ALWAYS HOPEFUL AND ALWAYS REMAINED IN GOOD CHEER.

HE MADE A GOOD LIVING , HONESTLY , ATTENDING TO HIS OWN BUSINESS , AND NEVER MEDDLING WITH THAT OF OTHERS . HE WAS HONEST AND UPRIGHT , FAIR AND SQUARE AND STOOD FOR THE RIGHT UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. HE HAD NO ENEMIES AND HIS FRIENDS WERE NUMBERED ONLY BY HIS ACQUAINTANCES.

ALL OF US RECALL WHEN HE KILLED HIS LAST DEER IN NOVEMBER AND A PART OF US , IN OUR IMAGINATIONS , STILL SEE THE STUMP UPON WHICH HE SAT WHEN THE DEER CAME HIS WAY. WE REMEMBER THE LAST DAY HE SPENT IN THE WOODS . WE DID NOT KNOW , NOR DID HE , HAD MADE HIS LAST TRIP TO THE WOODS AND WAS BIDDING FAREWELL TO HIS LAST CAMP FIRE.

A GOOD MAN HAS GONE , THE COMMUNITY HAS LOST A GOOD CITIZEN , HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN A MOST ESTIMABLE HUSBAND AND FATHER . WE LOVED HIM AS A BROTHER , AND DEEPLY MOURN HIS LOSS. HIS PLACE AROUND OUR CAMP FIRE CANNOT BE FILLED . WE SHARE WITH HIS FAMILY THE DEEP AFFLICTION OF HIS LOSS AND OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WE MAY EVER BE ABLE TO RENDER.. TO OUR HUNTING COMPANION WE HAVE BID ONE LAST SAD FAREWELL.

BY THE MEMBERS OF HIS HUNTING PARTY
