asked if there was any hope for him

it based plan of farming which he
was recommended to follow to the let

Ingersoll! And what glorious conquests he
wrought; what a splendid philosophy he
proclaimed
Tuesday, August H. is the anniversary
of his birth and it should be made a
memorable occasion in the heart of every
man and woman who loves the liberty he
advocated. All, Friends, it is rot the
mere birth of man that moves pc terity
to pay tribute, but the life itself, and If we
Judge the late Colonel Ingersoll in this
light then, indeed. does it become a pleas
ing duty for the Blade, in its humble way,
to celebrate the event as best 1t can by
the manner and method here obtaining.
Robert Green Ingersoll first saw the
light of day at Dresden, on the West shore
of Seneca Lake, in the state of New York,
on the 18th day of August 1888, just Is
years ago next Tuesday. He was a son
of Rev. John Ingersoll, famous Presby-
terrain preacher in his day, eloquent and
gifted as an pulpit orator, from whom his
talented and gifted son inherited his won
derful oratory and master Of the art of
speech. but in a vastly different direction.
His father was Of English descent HIS
mother, formerly a Miss Mary Livingston,
was born at Lisbon, New York and in
her veins flowed the blood of the Dutch,
Scotch and Irish ancestors. Ingersolrs
father and mother were married at Ogdens-
burg New York. in 1922. lngersoll was one
OF five children, three sons and two
daughters. The mother dying while Amer
ica's greatest ora or was still mere child,
the duty of looking after the family, es-
pecially the young children, fell upon Mary
Jane Ingersoll, an elder sister into whose
loving hands their mother had committed
them upon her death bed. The extreme
gentleness Of that sister touched the heart
of this afterwards great man and the cir
cumstances of his early life he never for
got, or the sister who had watched so
tenderly over him. Robert G. Ingersoll
was the youngest of the family.
For the more important incidents con-
nected with the early life of lngersol we

dropped out of the law practice. Robert

for Congress in 1860 but was defeated. On
February 10, 1862, he was married to Miss
Eva A. Parker beautiful and accomplish

seven years of unalloyed happiness to both
husband and wife followed in fact to all
who had the good fortune to get within that
charmed circle, known as the Ingersoll
home.
