L now ask your attention for Il momen,
while l speak of him as knew him i'm
life.
Comrade Beal was pioneer in
Western Kansas. first met him here
during the terrible blizzard which
swept over this county ON the 2gtb of
January. 1873. and from that time I'M
til his death he was my friend. with
out variableDess or shadow of turn
ing. true to every trust.
C0mrade Beal WAS a good man. and
willie his angles were sharply drawn.
the kindness of his great heart shed a
light over all. The realization of his
worth will now dawn upon us. His
lame is imperishably written in the
hearts OF our people. On the day tha
we heard of his death we noticed the
ey1s OF many stern men ELL with tears.
During all the years of or associa-
-tlOn we saw every phase of his charac-
ter. and l speak for all when say
t lat 1t was never unfolded to reproacf.
Ii we looked for business industry he
was ways found at his post. If we
looked ior friendship we found kind
counsel. If we looked for truth we
found in him man who scOrned false
hood and Misrepresentation. If We
looked for charity we found him con-
siderate for all in distress. If we
looked for honor we found him un-
moved by every bride of interest. If
we looked. for cOnstancy to friends we
found him loyal. If we looked for the
brOadest manhood we did not find
flaw. And we believe the example of
his upright life has not altogether
been lost on the community. and no
citizen OF kinsley could be more deeply
loved. or more truly mourned than
COmrade Beal. Let his name be kept
fresh with reverent honOrs.

as to the. high regard had for Mr..
Beal in this community where he has
lived for SO many years.

feeling better thar usual. In the morn
