 sideration ; and both on and off the bench, he was always, in his 

 itions with them, cordial, friendly, and ready to give them the 

 ii lit of bis wisdom and learning in any difficulty in which they might 

 ask his advice, lining this in such a manner that Fie rather seemed to he 

 receiving than conferring a favor. He was not inertly a lean 

 lawyer; he \\;. a lover of books, a great reader, catholic in hi.s 



tastes, and spending in his library many of his hours of rest and 

 recreation. In private life he was an agreeable companion, a loyal 

 friend, a most devoted husband and lather. He was not a demonstra- 

 tive person, but "a quiet, self-contained, thoughtful, com 

 affectionate man, who kept his eye single for the right and the true, who 

 did every duty with keen thoroughness, and who found his greatest 

 pleasure in the companionship of those nearest and dearest to him."
