Shaughnessy has gone over the top
for the last time. He was as ten
der as a woman, courageous as q
warrior and uncompromising as
fate with the unrealities. With
clear eye and reasoning mind. he
grasped with almost unerring ac-
curacy administrative problems
coming before him. This habit Of
mind promoted him rapidly
through, and to the top of each
duty In life, that called him.
He was already known in the
way and air mail service. Imme-
illusions in departmental confer
ence, we knew they had been ma
tured, were accurate, and they
were rarely debated

Those of US, associated with him
and helping to carry the same re-
sponsibilities of the postal service.

there was but one. No given name,
titles, nor decorations were re-
membered.
He looked the world he knew,
in the face, and turned the same
clear gaze towards the world no
man knows. Fearless. faithful.

office as Second Assistant Post
master General he was always in
command. the same as the soldier
overseas, and that Is why we in
the department learned to love him.
He was a man among men. None
knew him but to love him. I shall
greatly miss him as Col Shaugh-
messy but no one will ever know
how much more shall miss him
as Ed. Shaughnessy-for that, only
my heavy heart will tell"
Harry H. Billany, the Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General said:
II am deeply grieved over the
loss Of my dear friend Col. Shaugh-
messy. His technical knowledge of
transportation and his sympathetic
handling of men has brought an
Improvement in the railway mail

most irreparable."
