manhood which found expression in his varied relations with his fellow man.
 He possessed sound. judicial mind and ranked high among the legal fra ternity, of whom he was an honored and highly esteemed member.
 He was a conscientious councillor and ever maintained the dignity of his profession. As was said of another ot like profession. so it may be said or him: He was man of unbending in tegrity He scorned everything that was base and mean. Corruption never tarnished his honor. He had no itch ing palm for dishonestly- gotten gold, and was at all times above suspicion of complicity in legislative jobs and subsidies
 Hypocrisy and shams he despised, but open -heartednesS and honesty found a response in his own heart.
 He was positive in his convictions, and fearless in expressing them, yet ne was ever amenable to the opinion and Judgment of his associates.
 His love of justice and legal sound ness were conspicuous and his fairness unquestioned.
 As president of the Thames National bank he manifested q fidelity and ef11- ciency that contributed largely to it's success, and ha was Beloved by his off, ficia1 associates and by every employe of the bank His generous social friends, and his great delight was to contribute to the happiness of others His beautiful home was always re- treat for the weary and q fair domain for unrestricted freedom in healthfuf and charming recreation.
 The shadow which now rests upon that home awakens our deepest sym pathies, and especially do our hearts 20 out to the dear son he loved so much, and our prayer is that the man. tie of his loving father may rest upon him in all the future of his life
