Two Funeral Orations by Senator
Blackburn.

By the irony of fate and the exigencies
of personal ambition, it became the duty
OF the Hon. Joseph c. S. Blackburn to
pronounce the funeral Grafton at the cof-
fin of William Goebel. And of Goebel
Senator Blackburn said
Build here over his grave mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the corroding touch of time. Inscribe
upon it an epitaph that shall be worthy
of the man. He earned this at our hands,
In life and death he was consecrated to
the peoples cause, He lived an honest
life, and gave his life for your deliver
ance. OF him no eulogy but truth may
say: Earth never pillowed upon her bo-
som a truer son, nor Heaven opened
wide her portals to receive manlier
spirit"
At Covington on Sunday, April IA,
1895, little less than five years ago, the
eulogist of Goebel pronounced another
funeral grafton. That time he stood by
the coffin OF Col. John L. Sanford, who,
like Goebel, had been shot down in the
highway. And of Sanford, Senator
Blackburn said
John Sanford was to me like
brother. loved him. hope God may
spare me, and I shall make it my lifes
mission to avenge him by burying his
slayer in the depths of merited public ex-
ecration."
The slayer of John Sanford was VIII

Immediately broken. AS no one saw the
accident it is impossible to tell just how
it happened.
The team was discovered to be without
driver by the Cushmau boys, and they
went to investigate, but did not know
what had become OF the driver. In a few
minutes Mr.. Wilkinson appeared with
another load of wood and he was asked
if he was trying to drive two teams at
time when he inquired where Tommy
was. 1t was necessary to unload the
wood before the sled could be lifted from
his body. The body was probably
dragged several rods before the horses
stopped.
