udu, az Cldu1OTos TduudISu III low dt
the jefferson Medical College, Phila-
delphia. He Immediately located in
Lancaster, where he practiced his pro-
fession successfully until the breaking
out of the civil war. He entered the
Confederate army and was elected
Captain of company 1, Forests Cav
airy, and was captured at Fort Donel-
son. After he was exchanged he was
assigned to Morgan's command, being
the senior Captain in Gano's regiment.
DIR. Logan vas captured in the famous
Ohio raid and remained a long time at
Columbus. O., but was exchanged be-
fore the close of the war.
1t would be folly for this poor pen
to attempt a eulogy upon the life of
one so grand, SO noble and 30 pure %
was DR.. Logan. His praises are sung
by the lips of every one, rich, poor,
saint, and sinner, who had the pleas
ure of his acquaintance. Holy Writ
tells us that none are without sin, but
if Uncle Dave had any corruption in
him, no one on this earth ever had
cause to know it He was a gentle
man of the truest type. He was one
of the very few men who believed in,
and carried out doing unto others as
you would have others do unto you.
1t is customary when a prominent
man dies to write long obituary no
tice and recall his good deeds. In this
case it is not at all necessary to follow
this custom. The people knew DR..
Logan we'll, and nothing the most
gifted writer could pen, or the most
eloquent speaker utter could add one
iota to his pure, sweet life. His men,
DRY will always be cherished. He was
one man against whom absolutely
nothing detrimental could be said. He
had a deep sympathy for The unfortu-
nate, and an utter contempt for ras-
cality. He was blessed with an abun-
dance of this worlds goods, but, unlike
the majority OF rich men, was ever
ready and glad to relieve the wants and
necessities of those in need. His acts
of kindness were not proclaimed from
the housetops. His favors were be.
slowed in a quiet way. DIR. Logan did
not belong to any church. though he
lived a more Christ-like life than q
great majority of those whose names
are upon church rolls. In DR.. Green's
remarks at the grave he said that ten
or twelve years ago DIR. Logan wished
to make, a public profession of his
faith in Christ, but was troubled by
certain doctrinal difficulties of which
his mind could not be relieved, but hi
never lost his interest in tine matter
Recently he said to him that he had
made a mistake in allowing anything
to prevent his making such a confes
sion as would let all the world know
his true principles, and requested hin
to state for the comfort of his friend.
and as his last testimony to the truth
that for years he had been q believer
in Christ. that he died in that faith
and that his dying regret was that he
had not, when in health, made thi.
public confession.
The largest crowd ever assembled in
Danville on a similar occasion follow
ed the remains to the cemetery in that
city Sunday afternoon. The ceremo.
MES were in charge of the Masonic fra
ternity. and Confederate soldiers. The
latter held a short ceremony, conduct.
ed by DR.. Green. The Masonic frater-
nifty, about one hundred strong, then
formed an 'oblong square" about the
grave and the beautiful service was
said by Mr.. Henry G. Sanditer. The
choir of the Presbyterian church sang
several beautiful hymns, prayers were
offered by Revs. Lynch and Saunders
and all that was mortal of Mathew
David Logan was laid beneath the
sol, there to rest until the arch angels
trump shall usher in the Resurrection
morn. Peace to his ashes. l.. l.
