282 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Jan., 



As a man, life-long friendships attest to his worth and 

 steadfastness. 



As a teacher he won the love and confidence of his pupils. 



In his family he was universally loved and revered. In the 

 Church at North Cornwall, where he worshiped for sixty-four 

 years and held the office of Deacon for over thirty years, he 

 always stood for what was highest and best. 



Mr. Gold lived to the ripe age of eighty-eight with powers 

 of mind unimpaired and with interest unabated in all things 

 connected with his farm, the State, and all mankind.
