Ho died at his home, 304 Wost Avenue, in Austin, Wednonday afternoon, September 25, 1940, at 12115 olclock. It is gratifying and beautiful to think that Jim Dartholomew necupted the summons of doath with the Hamo calm, brave spirit with which he met the challenge of lifo. C. H. Bartholomew was a man borm to the people he loved and sorved. Here was a man who accouded for himnolf, but found time to help others to succeed oven in the same fields of ondoavor. Here whe a man whe ondeared himself to the hearts of all wis know him, who has lown Immortalized friends, and wide works will be perpetrated by ads follow citizens in their cherisland mortue of liis fine character and lovalle natrize. 1 Jin Bartlolanow was a unique personality. It is possible here only to give appropriate onpha81.6 to traits of aint and character which Boon most talve contate to the result, without attun to account for that mysterions alchemy ly whicl. personality is wrought into something creater Wan the sum of its parts. Of inestimable worth to him in business and Governmental affairs were his firmnoss and decision of character, tempered always by a hol thy skepticism and a capacity for self-searching, to witch 549 www 550 he gave froo rein until the moment of decision. Fagor to hear and welch over relevant arment, he was receptive always to the Ilens and opinions of others. Dectulon won finally reached Wan arrived at by the exercise of his own. sl:illud and self-reliant judgment. No prejudicos, no desire for popular acclatu, nor any unworthy motive distorted his Judgments. Yot on occasions when, after debate and deliberation, he was faced with the opposition of a domocratic majority, he was the first to accept the decision of the majority and, for the sake of unanimity of purpose and accomplislument, to ontor into the program so framed with an enthusiastic spirit of cooporation. He bocauno a member of the City Council of Austin upon taking the oath of offico May 1, 1933. and served. continuously until his recont untimely death. With his official bities, which he accoptod seriously and performod honestly and with wisdom, ho took the pleasures of play and recreation. He was an ardent baseball fan, and was State Chairman of Texas soft bull tournamontu held in Austin for two consecutive years. He was a fadliar figure at all uthletic contents in the City, and because of his onthusiasm for sports, he was frequently called upon to present the trophies to the winning contestants. Ho was a favorite with the various departments of the city government. His friendly feude with the firemon and policomon of Austin are rich in anecdotal loro. This same gentle but healthy love of sheer fund and happiness must have charactorized the man oven in his youth. His name has been preserved for the pleasures of posterity by William Sidney Portor, one of his carly companiona in Austin, better known to the world as O. Henry, for Jim Dartholomow is a colorful character in at least two of the great writer'a inimitable tales of Texas and the heart of the West. He is cone, and while the West is still lighted with his rudiance, it is woll to pause and take count of the lesson his life has to teach us if we cure to stop and learn. Mrs. R. C.
