SEPT. 24, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 5 Everett McKinley Dirksen has come home to Pekin, Ill­ inois for the last time. No citizen has left our Illinois soil in the last 100 years and returned with greater honor, glory, respect and love. Everett Dirksen's humble birth of immigrant parents in 1896 foreshadowed no greatness nor prominence to his parents and neighbors in Pekin. Indeed, the death of his father when he was a mere five years of age suggested that the road upward would be hard and the chance of genuine success would be most difficult. At a very early age he went door-to-door sell­ ing vegetables from his moth­ er's garden. For awhile he drove a bakery truck. Indeed, he always took pride in the fact that during many years he labored with his hands and car­ ried a lunchpail to his job. Everett Dirksen rose from such humble beginnings and relative obscurity to become for 16 years a distinguished and productive member of the U.S. House of Representatives and for almost 19years a mem­ ber and leader in the United States Senate. i Everett McKinley Dirksen, as Minority leader of the United States Senate from 1959, be­ came one of the greatest law­ makers of all time. Many of the historic statutes of recent times bear the indelible mark of Senator Dirksen of Illinois. His statesmanship will always be compared with, such other Senate leaders as Webster, Henry Clay and Robert Taft. But to his family, friends and colleagues with whom he shared his great human qualities he remained an affectionate and humble man. They will recall Everett Dirksen's love for the simple and beautiful marvels of nature which he enjoyed throughout his lifetime on the prairies of Illinois and on his small farm in Virginia. Words were Senator Dirk- sen's stock in trade. He se­ lected words more carefully and uttered them more el­ oquently than any other man of our time. But words are ut­ terly inadequate to express the deep and tender feeli igs of those who mourn his passing. In addition to honoring his memorable public career, it is entirely fitting that we should extol his humanity as well. Perhaps this word "humanity" characterizes best the rare qualities which Everett Dirk­ sen possessed. He had respect and deep concern for every human being -- of every race, color, religion and position in life. To his family and friends, he was very down to earth, very easy to talk with, as well as engaging to listen to. Everett Dirksen has come home to his final resting place in Pekin, Illinois, where he began life 73 years ago. But the spirit of Everett McKinley Dirksen will live on, and will affect the lives of Americans yet unborn. Indeed, his impact on this and future generations will provide an immortal rec­ ord more eloquent than any words uttered at this sad hour. 'Everett Dirksen's widow, Louella, their daughter, Joy, who is the wife of Senator How­ ard Baker of Tennessee, Sen­ ator Dirksen's twin brother, Thomas, and the Dirksen grand­ children have the sympathy of the President of the United States and every American throughout the land.
