vincing advocate. His penetration went straight to the heart of the subject, his comprehensive grasp included its multitudinous details, his ingenuity instinctively marshaled the facts in the most favorable array, and his alert perception anticipated the possibilities of opposition. His large vocabulary was at instant command, his diction admirably adapted to the expression of his thoughts, and his delivery direct, forceful and impressive.

His fine features, genial expression, dignified and confident carriage, and striking personality immediately attracted attention, which inevitably ripened into admiration, as acquaintance grew; for the physical was but a reflection of the spiritual nature of the

man.

The death of this scholarly, accomplished gentleman closed a long and brilliant career, which was characterized by capacity, integrity, courage, forcefulness, and wisdom-the attributes which make for the best type of citizenship. To a far greater degree than most men he had the happy fate of knowing that his sterling qualities were appreciated by the community; and he has left a record of honorable achievement, not only in the annals of many public and private organizations, but in the hearts of the great company of friends, who revered and loved him, and to whom his memory is a precious heritage.
