n regard to the loss our State has sus-
aimed in the death of Ex-Governor Dan
el F. Davis of Bangor, which sad event
on Saturday. January 9Th. 1877.
For some years ii was my pleasure to
lave him and his family as near neigh |
,ors, in the city of Bangor and ! can
ruly say that his love for his family. his l
conduct a man, and his keen sense of /
light and wrong. merits the appreciation
# every true citizen of our State.

Turing the past few years, It Is with deep
peak of the noble fight he has carried on
With persistent courage. though labOring
inder the additional misfortune of poor
health.
1t is his virtues and goodness that l de-

On behalf of the committee. 1t is my sol
mn duty to officially call your attention
Q the death of a governor of this State,
Daniel L. Davis of Bangor. His death
las profoundly moved the hearts of us
Il. and has deeply impressed the people
# our State.
In this hall. where he took the oath of
ffice as governor, and promised to MAIN
ain the laws of our State. and where
lis voice while representative was |
eard in defence of our State and her
lights, 1t Is most fitting that these memo
ial exercises should be held. 1t is well
or us all in the busy struggles and am
itions of life. when death takes away "A
aader among men. to pause and to take
mes thoughts away from worldly affairs
nd bid the departed n farewell before
he ranks close UP and the column |
resses on" In this room where we may
lmost fancy there may still linger some
cho of his familiar voice. it Is most ap-
ropriate that We pay our fond. Just tri-
ute to his virtues and his memory.
