A TOUCHING TRIBUTE
To Late Chief Justice Fuller by
Lifelong Friend.

A copy of the Lansdowne News just
received by Mrs. l.. A. D. Young of
South Chestnut street contains d strik-
ing tribute to the late Chief Justice
Fuller by one who knew him in boy
hood, in college and all through life.
The writer, William a. Drew, son of
Rev. William A. Drew of Augusta and
brother of Mrs. Young. Mr. Drew, who
is librarian of the LansdOwne. Pa,
Free Public library, has this in memo
riam:
Natives of the beautiful capital
city of Maine, boys together, class
mates in college, and steadfast friends
through all the subsequent vicissitudes
of more than half century, it is fit
ting that some acknowledgment of this
long unbroken intimacy should be
made by the survivor that some spray
of love and remembrance should be
laid on his coffin by the hand of the on
ly living member of the Glass Of 1853.
"Only those who came within the
circle of his acquaintance can best
testify to the charm of his PERSONAL
ity, his genial manners, his unvarying
courtesy, his love of humOr. his
thoughtfulness for others, his unselfish
devotion to friends his open handed
generosity. and his love for family and
kindred The public records OF his
country will attest his wisdom. his
craftsmanship. his broad knowledge of
law, his answering loyalty to the
highest ideals of public duty"
