q. G. Goodwin paid a touching trlb-s

in part:
Many years ago I promised him.,
who Is sleeping here, that should he be
first called, Iwould speak a few words
a.bovc his dust. 1t was q. promise l
never expected to be called upon to
keep. fo1. then he was In the glow OF
youth and seemed to be the highest
type Of the men OF the frontier, young,
strong, alert, y tanner of wild horses,
master spirit among turbulent men,
with every physical attribute indicat-
ing long life.
You knew him. You can all bear
witness of how faithful he was to his
citizenship: you saw him as he walked
these streets for many years, know how
generous, how genial, how true he has
been, how loyal has been his life to
family, to friend, to society, to duty, to
There WAS never any uncer-
$tainty about where he stood. His voice
was always clear for the right us God
gave him to see the right, and In the
pursuance of duty there was never one
uncertain note from him, never one
chance to discount the motives thar
controlled his life.

clear brain and a pair of strong arms
were sufficient capital for anyone.

scorn, and If he ever grieved over an
unkind fortune, it was becaIae 1t put
off the fuffiliment OF the dream he was
nursing of making those around him
happier by taking ISray some of their
burdens.
For his wife and children and 9TH
err relatives we all today would draw
around them the warm mantle of our
sympathy, and to solace them would
have them reflect that, through a
comfortless childhood, through man
hood surcharged with care and trial.
he never faltered In duty or honor;
he won for himself high and stain
less name and goes to his grave with
a record of an earnest and blameless
life.
For those OF US whom he called his
friends, his death comes as a personisi
bereavement, and 1t is with heavy
hearts and In deep sorrow that we
draw near to recall our love for him.
