placing patriotism above craftsmanship.
AS n citizen he was thoroughly tdenti-

to earnestly advance the interests OF
the city. In the Grand Army OF the
Republic he was affectlonately beloved
by all his comrades. and his valuable
counsel was frequently sought by some

tenderness and goodness, will ever re-
main with me an ideal for which TO
