remembrance Of one of the manifest men and
truest gentleman that ever lived, and but

STARR WATTLEs when say that his presence
brought sunshine, his hearty greeting friend

1t may seem easy TO write eulogy on the
dead, but in all truth there can be no words
so strong. no thought so loving, no eulogi um
so high that could do more than simple JUS
tice to him that is gone.
He was man in all the name implies. He
was without guile; perfect truth and high
honor was the sign and symbol of his life.
Devotion to his friends was to him cardinal
virtue. If consideration for the feelings of
Others is the chiefest trait of a gentleman,
then Starr Wattles stood head and front
among them all.
His pilgrimage of life is over, his work is
done, and the record balanced. To some he
has saved their faith in human nature to
others he has left sweet and pleasant men,
DRY enshrincd in their heart ofhearts. To his
own kith and kin he has bequeathcd an un-
stained name, and an example to be proudly
followed. A. ii.
