To the memory of JAMES 8. b. HAM
NETT who died on the Goth of August
1897, this tribute is penned. Full OF
years, for having been born in 1921, he
was 70 years of age. he has gone to his
rest. That, like the rest Of US, being
human, he had his faults. is possible, bit
lack of energy, industry and economy
were none of these. His in6omitable
push and intelligence made him a sue
cessful farmer, and indeed he was sell
dom known 90 fail in anything he un-
dertook. The Hiost Of his years were
spent in this his native county, but IN
the latter years of his life, he turned
over the care and management of his
farms 10 bis sons and moved with his
wife to Baltimore.
Now, that he has gone, let us eRulate
his good qualities Few of Us coinpara-
lively cross or pass over the allotted
time OF mau-three score years and ten.
That he exceeded this is due in a great
measure to his temperate and regular
habits. He was remarkably halls active
and healthy until within few days OF
shis death. He has gone TO his reward
and we will trust that merciful God
will remember his sterling qualities to
the extinction of his bad ones, did he
have them.
He leaves behind him agea wife, sR o..
Unable lady, and, 1 believe, two sons and
two daughters. To them, especially his
companion during all the long years of
their happy married life, my sincere SYM
pathy is extended. His sons and daugh-
tiers are known for their sobriety, ener-
gy and probity. AS exemplary Christi
ans and neighbors. psught can be said
against than; and feel sure. Cor the few
short years, at best of her widowed life,
his aged companion viii find with them
a welcome home.
The road fsSsn life 10 death is short.
We cannot paes u byi
Vet tits Lot all OF life 10 live
Nor all Of death 10 die.
