"LITTLE HENRY"

1t is with a sense of personal loss
that the Banner today chronicles the
death of Little Henry" Oglesby, the
old soldier from the Home who has
brought the mail for the Banner
office and for the Soldiers Home foI
years If clean hands, an honest
heart and a pure spirit in this life
avail anything in the future world
Little Henry has gone to a sure
reward.
Everybody in the business section
of the town knew Henry, but few
knew where he came from or much
about him. He came to the Home
some fourteen years ago from Spring
field, VT, and from that day until a
week ago when he last came up town
he has endeared himself to everybody
with whom he came in contact Old
soldiers are not weakly sentimental;
they have seen too much of the hard
ships and dangers of life. Yet in a
group of a half dozen veterans from
the Home who were telling the writ
er of Henry's death, not one could
speak of him without tears. We
doubt if Henry ever had an enemy
or ever spoke an unkind word.
He was never married, but he had
a respect for women that almost
amounted to reverence. Every sum
mer he went away for visit to his
old home in Springfield, Vt, and to
Gardner, Mass, and he never failed
to bring back post cards, pictures
and little mementoes for his girl
friends in the Banner office, and
other offices and stores where he
was well acquainted His thoughts
were as pure and guileless as those
of child and he would blush like a
girl at any vulgar or profane word.
He took upon himself the duty of
bringing the morning and afternoon
mail to the Banner Office and was as
regular and dependable as the clock.
If ever kept away by illness or
very severe storm from what he es-
teemed to be his duty he would
apologize profusely the next day as
though he had committed a grievous
fault He was absolutely honest
and nothing else pleased him so
much as to be trusted by Col Han
non, superintendent of the Home,
with some important errand
Little Henry" Oglesby may never
have made any great mark in life, as
The world spells success, but in his
gentle, kindly, old fashioned, sympa.
.hetic and generous way he lived
nearer the Christ life than most Of
hose who make far greater pretens-
ons. Few of us will be mourned
more sincerely when our time comes
