oo1oIo He Uecdmo president and
he highly valued his acquaintance.
From the day he took the oath of office as
chief magistrate up to the day he threw off
its cares, he had been an honorable. mag
unanimous and magnificent leader. Three
weeks ago he had seen him. He wore the
same old pleasant smile. his hair was more
grizzled. but he was in the old good humor
that all who were acquainted
with him knew so well. Yet there
was something in his face which spoke of
death. He was now gone to meet his low
ing wife, They would not call him back,
except in memory, but remember him as
one true to his friends, true to his country
and true to his God. Other eulogies were
delivered by Cornelius N. Bliss, William
