highly esteemed citizens, Frank Marshall.
He knew no fear in the discharge of his
duty and his word was as good as his bond
In all the relations of life he was beloved
and respected, and his memory will ever be
held dear in the island which was his home,
as well as on the neighboring shores, where
he was well-known and highly esteemed.
Each one of us who stood in sorrow by his
fresh-made grave felt keen desire to
pay some fitting tribute to the honorable
character of Frank Marshall and to express
heartfelt sympathy with the devoted mother,
upon whom this blow falls with crush
ing force. Her faith in God, however, sus-
tains her and follows her son into that place
of peace and progress which we trust he
has entered.-R. E. C.
