dead than to speak the truth; Mr..
Ziegler was a man of comprehensive
views, and was learned man. He
was eminently kind man. and he
had never heard of an unkind word
dropping from his lips. His loss is
greatly to be deplored. Mr., Ziegler
leaves behind him a history and his
memory should and will be cherished
by all.
j. D. Marshall;seid thst Capt. Zieg-
Ter was man who could stand up for
his views come what may, and be
was not to be led away by the popu-
lar feeling when it was contrary to
his belief of what was right He
was man of strong religious convic-
tions.
Capt. Geo W. Fleeger said The
death of no man would be so greatly
regretted as that of Capt. Ziegler. He
had left his impress on the history of
the county. and had aided largely in
shaping the policy of the county.
Though everyone would feel his loss.
none would feel it more than the old
men of the county, who had known
him for years. He was a man who
believed that
"Kind hearts were more the Cononets.
"And simple faith than Norman blood"
Capt Ziegler was patriotic man,
and always stood up for Butler county
and always was solicitious for its
welfare. He will be missed all over
the county and all over the State, for
he was known and respected every
where.
Jas. F Britain said to none could
the saying
"With malice toward none,
"With charity for ALL"
Better be applied than to Capt Zieg-
ler. He was o man who was the
friend of all, young and old, rich
and poor; was kind and courteous to
all. We all have met with q loss in
the death of our departed friend.
Judge Hazen said that nothing
could better express his feelings
than what was in the resolutions He
became acquainted with him person

was an honest man; scholar, and in
his chosen profession, journalism, was
a success. This community has lost
a good citizen; this Commonwealth
has lost good citizen; both were bet

lived. No gentleman in Butler coun-

"Uncle Jake" Ziegler; Christian
man has been taken.
