General Perry, in presenting these resolu-
| tons made the following remarks:
Msv;, nlesse vour honor.
Aaron B. Holden was born in the town of
| Sweden in the county of Oxford, January 81,
| IaI7 and died December I6. 1889. II was
among his native hills and valleys in this rlral
| town in the grand old county of Oxford. that
Young Holden spent his boyhood DAVIS. II
happens sometimes that the wild and romantic
scenery of rural New England home becomes
an insnirat;on in the minds of the yopno who
eniov such surroundings. The how who scales
the rugged steeps of his native hills and tolls
on until he stands unon the summit. learns a
lesson Of human life he never will FORGET
Practically. he has educated himself N tioht the
battles of life: practically he learns that the
goal of his lofty ambition can never he reached
without toll and labor.
II was here in his naive town that brother
Holden learned 10 love the country Ana as

judgment, he would have made successful,

keen sarcasm and power of invective, all ele-
ments of power when brought into play, would
have all come to his aid in prosecuting the

May it please the court:
1t is one of the anomalies of human nature
that we criticise the works of the living and
keep back from them the need of praise; but
after they are dead, we overlook their faults
and bestow upon their memories the reward
oftentimes too long withheld. But words of
love are never too late.
