PATRIOTIC SUGGESTIONS.

Mrs. Burnham's address Before the Colon
ial Danes and Daughters ofthe American
Revolution.
The following extract is from a
graceful and forceful address delivered
before the New Jersey Society of
Colonial Danes by Mrs. Frederick
G. Burnham, Regent Of the Morristown
Chapter, of the daughters of the
American Revolutions
Before the Societies of the Colonial
Danes and the Daughters of the Revo-
luton sprang up, many of MS lived
as though our country had no past as
though we were so new that there
were no glorious traditions to trans
NIT to our children, no family relics
to cherish. We forget, that for near
ly three hundred years. these treasures
had been gathering, that many had
been lost through negligence, and that
the remnant would soon disappear, if
not carefully guarded. Because our
history was short, should we allow
the golden deeds of many a private
individual, not recorded in books, to
perish from the earth? Mol thous-
and times no! If England had so neg
lected her privileges, where would
be the fascination that now fingers
in every town and village and hamlet,
where loving hands have preserved the
relics of the past. Nothing to be seen
| in America No historical association
So we had allowed it to be said,
though three hundred years of as
glorious deeds as ever marked the
pages of history were behind us.
That time of indifference is past,
and many noble life is now being
rescued from oblivion by loving de
scendants, which would otherwise
have been totally forgotten. | die

great grandmother intimately as

And yet, dedicated to the past as w

may emulate our ancestors, and max

Mrs. Loui.a Johnes Kirkland.

Mrs. Louisa Johnes Kirkland, who
died at her residence on Miller road
yesterday, was a well-known and
highly esteemed representative of one
of the old colonial families of Morris
County. Her grandfather, the Rev.
Timothy Johnes, the then pastor of
the First Presbytian Church was a
man who welded powerful influence
in local and state affairs during the
days of the Revolutionary War and
it is matter of history that he ad-
ministered communion to General
Washington on the site of the present
Memorial Hospital.
She was married to the Rev.
Orlando l.. Kirkland at that time pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church
and at it's organization in 1910 he be-
came pastor of the Second, now the
South Street Presbyterian Church,
serving until October, 1851. After the
death of her husband, which ocurr-
ed in Springfield, N. j., she has
resided in Morristown and was
always until quite recently very
active in the charitable organiza-
tions of Morristown and in the South
Street Presbyterian Church, where
she was held in very high regard,
and where her services were of very
helpful nature. She leaves daughter,
Mrs. William Fl. Shelton, and four
grandchildren, Mrs. Mahlon Pitney,
Mrs. Gordon E. Sherman and Misses
Louise and Helen Shelton.
The funeral services will be held at
her late residence on Miller road on
Sunday, Dec, "a, at 2. 15 o'clock.
