Hon. Alex. Maitland, Member State Board of Agriculture: 



"Colonel Waters has been a valiant soldier for agriculture and an 

 excellent man. It is true, he was like a shock of ripe grain, but no mat- 

 ter, the cause will miss him, as his kind never live so long, but we think 

 it would be better for the world if they could stay longer." 



Hon. C. O. Raine, Master State Grange : 



"Colonel Waters was highly respected by all who knew him, and 

 dearly loved by many for his honest, pure, Christian character." 



Prof. W. R. Dodson, Director Louisiana Experiment Station: 



"For many years I have known of the work Colonel Waters has been 

 doing for progress in Agriculture. This good work sustains a great loss 

 in him." 



W. P. ilarned, Vermont, Missouri: 



"One who did the public great good without apparent care for 

 self. He will stand as a benefactor to agriculture. While not a robust 

 man, he lived a fair age, and it is a consolation to know that he finished 

 his career in a useful life, loved and esteemed by his fellows." 



F. P. Sever, Hurdland, Missouri : 



"I never knew a man for whom I had a higher regard. His unas- 

 suming manner, his high sense of honor, his open, honest heart, generous 

 and kindly disposition and other similar and worthy characteristics made 

 him, in my estimation, a great and good man." 



Hon. John W. Hill, Member of Board of Agriculture, Chillicothe : 



"Colonel Waters has been a very useful man, and will be sincerely 

 missed, not only by his family, but by the farmers of Missouri." 



Hon. Thos. B. North, Member of Board of Agriculture : 



"I believed Colonel Waters to be a good and useful citizen in any 

 community, and I know that he has done a great deal of good for the 

 agricultural and live stock interests in this State, and his death will be 

 regretted by all who knew him."
