| In the death of Frank Wayland Eel
| loves, who passed away Saturday at
! his old home and the home of his faith
| her best citizens, man of noble aspira-
tons, generous heart and lovable char
| light to honor His death leaves a void
| which will be felt and a sense of deep
| personal loss in many hearts, especially
| so to those who remember him when in
his prime of health and manly vigor be-
| fore the long and painful months and
! years of sickness had laid their heavy
| hand upon him restricting him to the
| home circle and the wearing lot of the
| invalid shut out to great extent from
| the beauties and every varying moods
of nature which he loved. He loved
| the sea and in the earlier period of bis
invalid life one of his chief pleasures
was to enjoy the every changing moods
of sky and sea as he looked out upon
$780,
As an artist he transferred to the cam
vas some of his impressions of the sea
with rare fidelity. He loved art with a
passionate love and bestowed upon his
pictures and portraits unweary1ng
work and devotion. Some of the subjects
of his pictures paintedin his ripper years
recalled to him scenes in other lands
which were dear to his memory espe-
cially the days of his student life In
Germany where he spent years in the
advanced study of his chosen profess
sion. He loved nature and the quiet and
fine old house where his home had been
50 long with its delightful surroundings
of fine old trees and the adjacent beau
tiful gardens and lawns and conserva-
tories full of the choicest of flowers In
their season were especially delightful
to his artistic nature and helped beguile
many of his hours of WEAKNESS and
pain. In his declining health he was
soothed and cheered by the presence
and ministrations of his family and
nothing In their power was left undone
that thoughtfulness and love could sug-
gest to brighten his declining pathway.
