His opportunities were not as great as
many Of his contemporaries, yet in
spite of his surroundings in this re-

He died ripe in years and honor and
beloved by all who had the privilege
Of his acquaintance. He made an
enviable record as Judge Of the su-

could not be questioned. His sincerity
and desire to decide cases in accord
