Waldo P. Proctor

Waldo P. Proctor died in Wadsworth, Friday, June 26, 1885, from injuries
received at the falling of the Wadsworth bridge on that date.  The funeral took
place Sunday, June 28th, from the residence of the parents and was largely
attended.  Services were held in Music Hall, Rev. Jennings, of Reno,
officiating.  During the sermon there were many tears shed for the little
fellow, who was a general favorite.  Waldo P., son of Daniel and Elizabeth
Proctor, was born in Wadsworth, Oct. 2, 1874.  A resident of this place from
infancy he was well-known by all.  Kind and generous, he was loved.  What was
his, his playmates shared.  Remarkably bright, ambitious, and studious, he led
in his class.  Gentle, and always willing to help those younger, he was held in
high esteem by them.  His character in every way gave promise of a happy and
useful career.  In his death the Wadsworth school has lost one its best pupils,
the community its pride.  His companions have a lost a schoolmate whose place no
other can fill; his parents the light and joy of their home.  A vacant seat in
the schoolroom, but a spot forever green in memory.  Gone to his maker, may he
rest in peace
