OF Seneca, and was always closely
identified with business interests

and there are now many substantial
landmarks which bear testimony to
the progressive spirit which charac-
terized the man. He was a devoted
church man, being lifelong mem
ber of the Presbyterian church. He
was for many years an elder in this
church, and also Sunday school SUI
perintendent. Prominent among
other marked characteristics was his
kindness and generosity to the poor,
and his gentleness, patience and de-
Votion to his aged mother impressed
the writer as being peculiarly beauti-
full.

stantly during his last days, minis ter
Ing to his needs and doing all that

that there's not two of him, so that
Seneca could claim one.
