The Chambers Memorial.
1t l. with profound regret that the st.
Paul Chamber Of Commerce has learned
Of the death Of Cen John p SsnbOrn. a
past president and one Of the oldest. most
active and influential members Of this
chamber.
1t is. however. not only as 2 member
Of this body that the chamber Of COM
merce feels the loss Of Gen. SaubOTn.
His influence was that Of an enineutIy
capable and pnblic-spirited citizen. keen
OF brain and readyesof hand. not only to
share but to lead. in any enterprise for
the general welfare.
After coming to st. Paul in 1854. he
speedily established a reputation as a
lawyer Of learning and integrity and it
took but little time to place him in the
foremost ranks Of politics and finance.
Then, as though in proof that the limitd-
ton Of one profession was too narrow for
his abilities. followed his brilliant mill
tary record as the head Of Minnesota s
volunteers in the Civil war, after which
he resumed a more peaceful but none the
less active. existence in st. Paul.
His private life was as noble an ex-
ample Of true manliness as fhis citizen
ship; and by his death his friends. the
city and the state lose ore Of the most
faithful, distinguished and able men
among those pioneers who. from the
rough-heWn material they found have
shaped this country as it stands today.
