truly say shat his conduct through life was worthy
Of initiation, for In him was embodied all that char.
acterizss the generous and nob.e.h.a.tsd man. Be.
ing of kind and happy dispozition,h be wss beloved
By all who knew him. His conduct In the battery TO
which he was attached elected the highest praise
from both officers and men. BE would never COM
