Bar of Montgomery County has lost one OF
its Oldest and most prominent members He
lived to be more than sixty years of age,

the active practice OF his profession. A
man OF great industry, energy and perse-
verance, ambitious to excel, interchangeable in
the pursuit of his object, and devoted to the
interests Of his clients, 1t was inevitable that
he should take place among the leaders OF

fairly, and deserved the success he attained.
AS man he merited the regard of the
community in which he was born and spent
his life. Impetuous in temperament, he was
yet regardful OF the rights of others and
strove to be just. In his business dealings
he stood square with the world, demanding
his own and no more, and according TO
every man what was justly his due. His
friendships were strong and earnest and
lasting, and he recognized the claims of the

AS q citizen, he stood for what he thought
to be right-having the courage of his con-

upon the minutes OF the Court as lasting
