J. G. ROBERTS,
On the morning of Feb. 23d 1865 on the Steamer
"oity Of Cairo" near Cairo, CHAUNOEY BALDWIN,
aged 20 years, months and II days.
Although well known a school-boy in the city of
Kenosha, the deceaeed had, for several years past
been lost as it were to many of the public At this
time, as his death has been thus suddenly and sadly
brought before us, it is due his memory that public
note be made Of his many virtues his strenuous eff
fort for the stricest performance of his duty as long
as life lasted; aud the merit always attendant upon
a life Of self sacrifice, "sorrows meeky borne" as
those inflicted upon him, have ever been Having
been endowed with that kind, charitable, forgiving
and afectionste disposition which always endears its
possessor to all with whom he may be connected he
had SO wen the hearts of his fellows, everywhere that
all wished and anticipated for him the brightest and
hsppiest future. His mark he had set high. and
nought but the sitting touch Of death could have ia
zen 1t from him. The hope that in spite of disease
which had settled itself upon him, he might adam
hms If to the further prosecution of his studies be
bone an ornament TO society and honor to his fam
lily and to his country. Modest and unassuming il
| his manners, one must have known him well to an
preciate in any degree the fneness and vet the no
blty OF his pure character. Keen in his perceptions
delicate and refined in feeling, his spirit was otter
wounded by unntentioual neglect, or unwonted cold
ness ON the part OF those by whom he might be sur
rounded his talents were unsurpassed and although
Tor years sickness and pain have been his aimos
| constant companions, few have reached the stand
ard, to viii: III, at the time of his death he had at
tanned his aspirations were OF the highest, the no
blest Character, ant patiently aud uncomplaningl,
he followed where .aty called, seemed to beckoI
nun onward. HE schoomates, whose cOmpAnionshiI
he so greatly enjoyed, will remember him. as tn
firm friend the honorable, upright and willing help
err OF those needing assistance and the Cheerful, com
panion OF fother days"
Since, in the last of his school history, he says:-
"Ae would buffet the surging pillows OF the roIlin
tide OF life and progress, and reach the further shore
amidst our fellows If we can; but il we cannot. W
would sink yet nobiy, amidst effort and aspiration
into the dark waters of Oblivion" we only remem
Der that his fe-work has been beautifully performed
and caa we safely say bright star has fad ed? Nc
The light has only been transferred from cal tn t
heaven /; there TO burn with more resplendent bril-
| liapcy forever.
'.'rs thus, ever thus, earthly hopes must decay,
| The fpirest OF flowers the first fade away:
The friends we love best will soonest depart
Tho their memory is written with tears our hear
We could weep when think of the joys that ar
past,
We could weep when We think that those joys coul
not last
But hope sends vision that is joyous and fair.
And bids US LOOK upward and bease to despair.
