grandeur. When but beardless youth. I
drank of the cup of defeat at Appomattox
and was one Of those ALLOWED to return to

States authorities so long as they observed
their parole and the laws in force where they
resided
From that day to this there never has been
an hour when would willingly omit any OPP
pOrtun1ty to do honor to the memory OF the
immortal man who forebore to add to the bur-
den of our sorrows then. .-
No true soldier can deny to the illustrous
man whose mortal remains lie here the pos
session Of all the qualities of a great COM

who won battles for him. and he sustained

He die not take time after the collapse at the

The gaze of the world beat in upon him there
and found no stain.

soldier Was to soothe and better the condition
