his example lnfuslng energy and determination IN
the hearts of all. But, he is gone His noble
heart is sted in death we shall hear his voice no
moreno more shall his commanding formbe seen
in the of his regiment
ResoLred, That while bowing with humble submis
sion to the decree of uscrutable God, we cannot
but deplore the loss Of brave and gallant officer
high-minded aud honorable man, inimitabe in his
actions, unnaverng in principle ndwedded to pure
and holy thoughts.
Resolrea, That while we deeply symPathize with
his afflicted family In the hour of their dire calami
ty and when the bitter cup is filed to overfowing
We sustained by the unfadng hope that their loss
and ours, though deep, is his eternal gain
ResolUed, That the officers and men of the Doth
Pennsylvania Cavalry tender tothe bereaved family
Of their lamented brother officer and fellow soldier
their sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the loss Of

ResolUed That the army has lost an officer who
could be but lily spared, one whose place cannot
well be supplied for in life his actions, off on the
the field, reflected creditto himself and his
mand, honor to his country and his country flag
one whose acquaintance was eagerly courted and
whose friendship was highly priced He was one Of
those very few Of whom it may be truly said
He was man. Take him all in all.
We shall not look upon his Ike again.
ReSolced That it viii require no towering monu-
ment to remind the members ofthe 29th Penusylva-

like by his uniform courtesy and kindness in their
daily intercourse, and hisgaant and noble bearing

His name shall ever be remembered with pride min
