ered
BY JUDGE HOUSTON.
Death once again visits our brotherhood.
This time he comes not suddenly, NOS
Unexpectedly, but after seasonable warn
ing, and selects from our ranks shining
ornament a. his victim.
Nv acquaintance with our deceased
brother dates back some three years. A
brief period-Hhen measured along with
mans allotted life-and yet, time sufficient.
ss il proved, to inaugurate, cement and
perfect lasting friendship; friendship,
deep rooted in the t-uer and nobler in
st.ncts of the human heart; friendship
I! al had it- birth in the refined and char
scteris,ie courtesy of the new acquaint-
ances, and its subsequent growth IN the
dsily contact with q noble, generous ana
intelligent mind.
In later wears no man has come stranger
10 the Wheeling Bar who has not been pro.
foundry impressed with the exceptional
professional courtesy and continuous social
amenities rendered to him, in the spirit OF
generous hospitality by Hon. Hanson GOOD.
1t is gratifying to realize that his LIE as Q
private citizen, as lawyer, as q puoLc
man filling numerous positions OF honor,
has been a success far beyond the average.
Within the four decades OF his life. he
has unouestionably made brilliant work
among his fellows. As an orator, whether
at the bar, before the jury or on the hust.
ings before the people, he had but few, II
any equals.
loved him; respected him, and now
mourn for him.
More formal eulogies leave to them
that knew him longer. .
He has gone from Us. Amidst our grlet
let US not forget that We tos must soon
follow. Death in some form or other must
come to all. 1t will be we'll for US II, when
our hour comes, We can point back to life
as full OF usefulness as that OF our departed
friend.
.'God Is infinite. All men are His.
He claims and owns, as well the living,
as the dead.
He, too, is our Judge. With Him,
Musl rest our acts forgood or evil"
BY MR.. CRACRAFT.
Death in any form in any shape whether
il comes in the bright morning, the fail
summer, or autumn n. or winter Of life, is 8
sad ard melancholy spectacle, and with
profound sorrow and eXpressite pain, do
humbly seek to pay my feeble tribute tc
the memory of our beloved brother, whose
untimely death, We now deplore.
| know John Hanson Good we'll; no one
know better; raised in the same township
rivals for Office friend always intimate
aud true in social life; associated together
in important causes; thinking to-
gether, working together and acting
together; most Of our lives
without one difference; l should be for
gettul Of every duty TO my hopored friend
who now is enshrouded in the sleep oil
death, IL l failed to express my tribute II
his splendid worth in all my association
with him. l honored him in all
tie walks of his life, and
o.dsy with deepest sorrow mourn his
leEth ere he had crossed the tropics OF the
existence allotted to man. Aud what q
proud summit did he reach in the life
srFr ted him.
The weight of grief brought about by
bis mCurnful event prevents me from
entering that field Of remark. Wider than
old Atlantic is the bereavement that shall
follow 10 his home in consequence o. this
death. For his good family 1 cannot
lind words to express my sympathy,
and can only commend them TO that Prov
idence that in the end shall do all things
well. Admiring Hanson Good in life, as
he sleeps beneath the green sward of his
native hills ! shall keep the mem Dry OF
him green and sacred.
The following named gentleman were

funeral this afternoon: Hon. Geo. LETTERS
