King George G II Va, May IL, 1902
To THE FREE LANCE:
The recent death of Major Mortimer
cambridge Ruggles. has been the cause
of profound sorrow to his many friends
in King George, at his old home, Fried
land" in this county, his youth and
early manhood were spent, and those of
us, who have known him longest, loved
him best. On both sides OF his home,
Major Ruggles, came of family of army
and navy officers-men whose reputa-
tions are part of the history of this
country. During the civil war, he served
in the Confederate army with credit und
distinction. Since that time he has been
prominent in the business circles of New
York city. Those who knew him init
mately feel most his loss. There was no
truer, gentler friend than he. His heart
responded to every generous impulse.
His wife knew no selfshness, and truth
and honor were in him embodied. Peace
to his ashes. f. l.. III.

any previous year.
IL was expected that Monday would
witness a battle of the giants over n pro
posed scheme Of cooperation of all the
Boards for better development of the
benevolence of our churches However.
a compromise measure was agreed upon

ing opinions were harmonized. and the
