When it was noised that he was
no more, all those who knew him
lamented the sudden demise of one 1
of such sterling worth.
Yes, he is dead, but bis imagery will
live forever in the hearts of those
who knew him well. He did not
live for self, bnt spent his time for
the benefit of others. Those noble j
impulses which were innate in him, j
were ever being refreshed by distrib- :
uting the bread of charity. The
hand of penury, when extended, did
not go away empty. Never contending,
bnt ever ready to assist the unfortunate,
his was the voluntary I
life of sacrifice. Like the Master, '
he Mid, today and tomorrow I mast
do. And he wac not one of those
who say and do not He did his
daty?none can do more. He was
one of those men who could not be
made to swerve from duty. In those
davs that tried men's souls when .
i
all was anarchy, he stood sublimely
firm, and helped to snpport such a i
State government as the classes were

He was, indeed, a brother and
e
uncle who had not a peer; from boyhood
ever administering to their 1
every want Never complaining, always
willing to do all within his
power.
Forget not those who have fallen
asleep, for their lives oft remind us
of the derecting Hand that guides
j us on the way to a bei ter life. And
