brance, to weep DER the departed memory Of one
of the brightest heroes Of this bloody stsife. The
name of NJ. w. WO0T0N is no more heard amid
the din of battle and no more will he tread the
silent step Of the sentinel. But his name will
sound aloud in that bright and beautiful land on
high where happiness knows no end.
