express my sense of personal loss. He was my
c0mradc in the old 4th VI. in 1861. He has been
ever since one Of the hest friends lever mad. As
community we do not yet realize our great
loss, but we shah realize it as we come to need

things that make the best interests Of our COM
munity. His place cannot easily be filed.
