The Death of stephen H.. Ransom.
No one in this community will hear.
without q pang Of regret, OF the death
otstephen b, Ransom, the patriarch
ofthe Hudson County bar. He was
as noted for the kindliness of his
heart as for the combativeness of his
principles. A sturdy church mem
Der, a rigid puritan, an assistant upon
the letter of the law, he yet had a
charity in issoul which covered the
weak and erring as well as the strong
and righteous.
Many people differed from h i'm in
opinion; but nobody aver failed to
respect his earnestness and convic-
ton OF right. He was a force of high
usefulness to the public, because he
tested everything by the touch stone
of absolute truth, as he understood it,
and never allowed what he believed
to be wrong to prevail by default.
His time, his money. his best abilities
were always freely bestowed to at
least make a protest IN behalf of law,
order and right.
There are many old men who have
worked q lifetime by his side, and
many young ones to whom he has
beena friend. aIguide and help, who
will mourn his death as a direct per-
sonal affection. But the sorrow will
not stop there, for tens of thousands
who knew him only as aname repre-
senting aggressive Christian spirit,
will feel that in his death the citizens
at large have lost one Of their best
advocates and leaders, that a heart
whichnsye beat save for honor and
truth and generosity has stopped its
pulsations, and onezenergy for good
In our nfdsk1fasrested for all time.
