Charles H. Dickerman,
as DR.. Swallow Knew Him

Dr. Silas G. Swallow has written
this tribute to Charles Hebcr Dicker-
man, whose death occurred Saturday:
There is sometimes much in a
name, but infinitely more in the char
acter behind the name. Reginald
Heber, Bishop of Calcutta. scholar,
poet and essayist was one of the
sweetest spirits of the nineteenth cen
tury. Heber Dickerman, as | have
known him for more than half CEN
tury. was in sweetness of spirit, in his
power. of analysis of men and meas
ures, in his consecration to principle
and devotion to duty was the dupll-
cate of him whose name he bore.
I'VE think of him as the skillful
teacher of youth when fifty-tive years
ago we taught country schools in ad-
Joining districts. AS the self-sacrific-
ing nurse as he sat by our hotel bed
side and ministered to the writer
through the long nights of suffering
from pneumonia; as the man of steady
growth in wisdom, knowledge. affec-
tion and business acumen; as potent
factor in one of the largest and most
successful corporations of the CEN
tury; as the wise and careful legisla-
tor in Congress. and as the friend and
supporter of moral religious and ely
mosenary institutions whether of his
own creed or of others.
''As we shall stand at his open
casket in the town of Milton and pay
loving tribute to his memory, we shall
think of Heber as joyfully united in
spirit with the long-since departed
companion TO whose memory he was
loyal through so many long years"

trained in the old time ways of the
sturdy fathers and mothers of the
period, and in accordance with those
teachings was dutiful son.
His father. a prominent builder in
the past century, was largely engaged
in the building up of the Capital city
and Luther's tastes were inclined to
architecture which tastes were develop
ed in the prominent schools of the ma
tion and he returned to his native city
to practice his profession After the
death of his father he turned his at
tention to horticulture, and Just four
and thirty years ago he retired to his
country place and turned his attention
to the propagation of fruits in which
he attained master success.
1t was always a pleasure to grasp
his stalwart hand in receiving his
greeting on his visit to the city, when
he delighted to recount the early days
Of his experience when a student at the
Military School of Captain Partridge

ing in touch with the wonderful inn
provements in his native city he was in
tenscly interested in the great changes
taking place and reioiced in the mark
ed improvements of the age Many
prominent buildings in the city were
erected under his supervision az archi-
tect and builder, and his memories of
the events of the old town of almost
three -fourths of century ago were
very bright and vivid.
The poet has said:
Thou unrelenting past.
Strong are the barriers round thv
dark domain
And fetters sure and fast.
Hold all that enter thy unbreatbing
reign,
Thou hast my better years,
Ihou mast my earlier friends--the good
the kind
y ielded to thee with tears
The venerable form--the exalted mind. "
