! It is not our province, nor is it our desire,
to eulogize Carlos Haven, but to present
plain statement Of his professional aud social
character He Stunned applause while living;
now that be is gone, his name is written upon
the hearts Of all who knew him and cherished
too fordly to need the incentive Of culog7.
He was born in Chautauqua county, N. T.,
August a9th, 1923, and was consequently in
his thirty-ninth year. When mere lad, his
parents removed to VIII county, Illinois, and
pursued the occupation Of farming. He was
brought up to labor, but enjoyed ample facili-
| ties for the education which he completed at
Kncx College, Ga1esburg. Immediately after
leaving college, which occurred, VIC believe,
| in his nineteenth year, he came to this ci =

business secured him valuable clients and
lucrative business. In 1649, like many other
young men, he temporarily abandoned his
profession. fitted out an expedition in accord

hazardous overland transit across the Plains,

bis diligence and perseverance amassed hand
some retnrn for his labor. He returned to

Attorney BY large majority. His adminis-

| Ae was honored by reelection, bis term Of
| office not having expired at the time of his
| deee3se.
His life was not an eyentfu1 one, nor pecu-
LARRY distinguished from the common lot Of
men. 1t is e1seWhere-in his daily commun-
| ion with men, in his social and professional
Ealks-that we must look for the exemplary
traits of Carlos Haven. As lawyer he IA,
distinguished By his strong common sense,
his tenacity Of purpose, which quai1ed at no
obstacles, his quick and unerring perceptions
| OF the right, and his fine moral tendencies

citements to animate lin, but when fairly
aroused, he rose parallel with the o,casion
| and threw his whole soul into the cause,
| whether IN defence Of innocence or attack up-
On guilt, for he never allowed himself to de.
lend wrong. At such times he was fred
| with an Irresistible eloquencc, and Was severe
| in his dcnunciations, which sometimes led his
legal opponents to term him yindirtivc, IN
accusation thoroughly unjust, for hatred and
v1ndletlreness were foreign to his character

attorney is one always open to cor
ruption, and a facile avenue to fraud

tion in such q manner that to-day there is

prominent and useful member Of the Ply
mouth Congregational Church, and leaves 3

easily filled. It Vas pre-eminently in the do

specially manifested. Although deeply wrap

hed with local politics, still it was very rare
that an evening found him absent from home.
