In the death of this smiahle gentleman

he best evidence Of their estimation of
his worth. His pursuits and ambition
we're limited. Fame never held its cup
of nectar 70 his lips, but his heart wa,
warm-hiS charities AID his lie exhibit

he obeyed tie law, was sure in the iai h,

of our country where wheat and the apple

with many spices, medicinal plants and
