recognized. He assured the Montgomery

Tribute To The Memory OF Mr..
Denney Waters.

Denney Waters died suddenly Of apo
plexy near Hillsboro. Va. October 9Th. He
was born "a years ago on farm near
Ellicott City. Md. Personally. knew little
Of him until recently, when he appeared
in our village and married one of our most
estimable ladies, Miss Mary X. Wiley.
They were married in Colesville. Nd. April
10, 1928, and moved to the home of the
bride in Hillsboro. Their residence being
only few doors from me, often met Mr..
Waters. His affable manners, congenial
disposition and general personality so
agreeably appealed to me that cannot
refrain from few simple lines Of tribute
to his memory.
have always thought that he who
possessed such rare and exemplary traits
merited remembrance and II heralded to the
world would act as salutatory stimulent
to the living. Mr.. Waters was one of
those exceptional characters whose first
meeting demanded respect. which soon
grew into esteem. then ripened to true
friendship and admiration. While a men,
Der of the Episcopal Church. he was broad
minded and philosophical, THE world was
his country and to do good his religion"
slave to no weak superstition. Tie recog-
nized the fact that all religions are harp
ing and praying to the same eternal. ever
living God. He believed that Buddha the
pitiful. Moses the leader. Mohammed the
reformer and Christ the loving we're all
our teachers. He loved the beautiful. was
skilled in music and no mean performer
on many instruments. One of his greatest
pleasures was to roam through the noun
tains. woods and valleys. listen to the
squirrels bark. the birds sing and suck
divinity from the fragant flowers Of nature.
He was kind, gentle. generous. To him
the world seemed temple and right liv-
ing true worship. He was full of good
common sense which is the foundation of
good manners. but it is gift that few of
mankind possess.
