Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-08-25

there are those who take three score
Years and ten. We are thankful that
we have had him for our own, but we
think sometimes that such soul should
be spared. While wo weep this sad
day over our lost one we must rcmem-
Der that there are friends who are wait
ing for him beyond. We do wrong if
we allow ourselves to dwell today upon
the thought that he has gone from US,
upon the thought that he has died.
And when we rejoice that he was such
a promising young man and talk over
his virtues, let us say that there is so
much that we can remember. Greater
is no man than he who will lay down
his life for his friend. 1t was just as
much given to his friends as for the
cause that he loved, even if he did not
fall before the Spaniards in the Battle
of Santiago. The spirit was there just
the same and the desire was there to
overcome in the combat. Death found
him still brave and unllinrhing. May
the Almighty God muster us all out of
battle and keep us all
The people were ushered to seats in
