He was colonel of a regiment of cavalry, having risen to that position simply by means of his superior abilities and his pleas- ant and suave manners. A pleasant and agreeable man, well informed, fully abreast of the times, always avoided every appearance of an office seeker, generous to a fault, constant in his efforts to elevate and improve those with whom he came in contact. His large business gave employment to many hands, all of whom gladly testify to his generous nature, and very large numbers of our people were given work at their homes. We deeply regret that there is no picture of this noble man. He always retained the respect of our citizens. Five ch:

He was a successful practitioner of his profession. A genial, pleasant man, sympathetic, and always ready to say words of comfort and cheer to those he was called upon to min- ister to their ailments; conscientious as well as indefatigable in his efforts to relieve the distress of the afflicted. In surgery he seemed especially adapted to the work, the touch of his magnetic fingers seeming to carry pleasure rather than pain to the sufferer. As a citizen he was highly esteemed, always at the fore for every improvement, progressive in every way calculated to broaden and better his native town. A consistent member of the Congregational church, always a word to say at their social meetings and for many years a leading singer in the church choir. He was born, grew up and lived all of his long life beloved and respected by all. Eight ch :
