Gently born and gently bred, 1t was Mr. Finley's
fortune to be thrown upon his own resources at an

On tbs personal side Mr.. Finley was essentially

may ne expressed by the words modcsty and courage
He was fair and just in eI his dealings courteous to
all men, slow to anger, but fierce in his resentment of
