To the call for arms in 1861, when the
preservation of the republic was threatened,
and hearts bold and true were needed to
offer up life and liberty i'll the interest of the
blessings we enjoy to-day, he was among
the first to answer, and during the trying
wears that followed was good soldier as he
was good man. Well can it be said OF
him-'he has been true and faithful SER
want, worthy to enter into a rich reward"
A good and provident husband; an indu-
gent, loving father; a friend true as steel !;
a man with an understanding of right that
admitted no argument extenuating wrong :;
an exemplar of the Golden Rule. modest
and contented with the results of duty done /;
frugal in habit and his integrity irreproacha-
BILE, the ledger of his life closed with saw
ing balance in his favor. Always God
fearing man, his career was an everyday
lesson to those who knew and loved him.
In his passing from the cradle to the grave
he left long and deep impress upon hearts
\and minds that will ever treasure the
memories of his goodness.
