He was a kind, affectionate husband and an indulgent father.
" When, in the bloom of true manhood, he rushed to his country's aid, And fought in the ranks like a hero, there the patriot's foundation was laid ; From the first boom of the gun he was loyal, his bravery never did lag, His cry was ' Down with Secession, and save the American flag.'
" And when the dread strife was over, and our land was again free from wars, When, proudly, the ' American Eagle' soared over the Stripes and the Stars, Then he came back with honor and triumph, exultant that, o'er land and sea, Our beautiful banner was waving, in the glorious land of the free.
" His work was not yet accomplished, tho' his camp life and fighting were done. Tho' his sword and his carbine were rusting, his mission had hardly begun ; For, morally, the hero is needed, for our land with evil is rife, And in peace the patriot is needed, as well as in combat and strife.
"'Twas then he rose to the rescue, and all through his kind, active life, He never did falter from duty, put proved, in the great moral strife, That in true moral courage lies greatness, which will through eternity last, When the heroes of battles and sieges are forever forgot in the past.
" A man who stood firm for the right, with sentiments noble and great, He fought (like a Jefferson) treason, in township, county and State ; But when his strong mind was most needed, we heard the sound of an oar, And the boatman came over the billows, and rowed him away from this shore.
"'Tis a Providence hard to unravel (it seemed to us cloudy and dark), To tell why the ' pale, mystic Boatman ' should row his mysterious bark, And take those who are the most useful, and working for God and the right, Away from their duty and labor, to the kingdom of glory and light.
" But when we have finished our mission, and our toils and trials are o'er. We will hear the dash of the waters, and the sound of the Boatman's oar, And He will take us over the river, and then, with enraptured alloy, We will learn why our Heavenly Father took our friends to celestial joy."
