these words, but never has its demon
stration come to me with more con-
vincing and awful power than when
nrst heard of the death of Lewis c.
Nandegrift. During the year prior to
his death, when l was not enjoying
the best OF health myself / more than
once said to him: Lewis, II were only
blessed with health and strength such
as yours, / would surely he very happy
man. His answer always indicated to
my mind that he believed himself pos
sessed Of a splendid physical condition.
And yet, in a short time he was gone.
In truth. how little we know even of
ourselves. But surprising, sad and un-
fortunate as was his death to family,
friends and state, there is much COM
fort and consolation to be derived from
a consideration of his brief, but busy
life. Although he left us just at the
time of splendid promise and oppor-
tunity, he had accomplished much
more than is ordinarily compassed In
a single life He had not only made
himself one Of the leading citizens Of
his state, and one Of the most eminent
members of his profession, but he had
acquired that which is the greatest
and best Of all earthly aequistions-the
absolute confidence, respect and es-
teem OF his fellow-men.
When we reflect upon the death OF
this strong and able young man, we
cannot but think that the truest and
best memorial of such a life and char
acter is the testimony CT those who
knew him well. The kind. beautiful
and truthful words that have bean
spoken by such persons respecting the
deceased constitute the best monu-
ment that could be erected to his men,
ory We cannot possibly estimate the
value OF such life or correctly fore
tell It's influence upon the young men
OF his time His good qualities were
not Of negative character but Of such
a positive and forecful kind as to
deeply impress those especially Of his
own profession who seek to learn the
secret Of true success. Our state in
recent years has lost many OF her
ablest best and most valued citizens.
but none. perhaps. in so short a time
had made a better name and preuder
record than the one OF whom we
speak-whose death we mourn"
The resolutions were ordered spread
on the minutes Of the court.
Messrs. Cooper, Wales and Hoffecker
was the committee appointed by the
bar to draw up the Bradford resOlu- !
ions. and Messrs. Cooper and Hayes
