citizenship. his public life, his life
among friends and neighbors. and his
life and services TO the church which
lays so near to his heart, YOU who
know him best, are the best able TO
judge. But we are satisfied that in
all these duties and conditions he has
reached the height of excellence. ON
behalf of his army comrades | will no,
fail to extend TO him our most tender
sympathy, in the loss of the COM
panion of his life, the gentle, amiable
Christian spirit that has so recently
left his side to join the redeemed on
the other shore, and whose death
casts a shadow over these services

Moses French. his boys can speak
with knowledge. He was loyal
courageous, faithful, and honest He
cared we'll for the comfort and best
interests of those under his charge.
and since the war ended has never
failed of any possible service
AT the close of the war the sur
vivors Of our regiment, the 2nd Maine
! cavalry. formed an organization ana
meet annually, thus renewing and
strengthening the ties that bound us
together during our youthful army
life. At our meeting at Augusta, in
September last. members of 90. X.

distinguished services Of Capt French
to his country, to this church with
which he has been associated so many
years, and the love that we. his COM

will be an appropriate tribute of our
affection for him while God spares his
life to us. and after he passes away.
