COL. JACK LOVE
(An Appreciation)

This old landmark is gone--gont
from this life OF bitterness and strife
of jealousy and anger, OF sadness and
tears-gone to the final reward that
awaits us each in just measure and
proportion to our worthiness OF
claim.
Col. Jack Love, the honest Off
cial, the faithful friend the brave
and worthy man--worthy Of all the
honors bestowed by his state and
fellow citizens. OF pomp and vain
glory, he never stained his mind nor
sullied his name with the false and
untrue. He preferred rather to
live in hut by the side OF the road
and be friend to man. He lived
and walked among his associates
and friends ever self-sa and sin
cere; but while he leaves us -
friends and relatives-bereaved to
lie down and slumber in death, we
cannot resist the belief that he will
live again on both sides of the wal
ley and shadow of eternity; for
out of death comes life; even on
this side, the life OF example for
youthful emulation and struggle.
which marches on with the spirit OF
endless eternity OF the soul.
Through illness, it was my fate
to be denied the privilege of at
lending the last rites to his memory
this tribute to his honored
name.
