OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 19 



His spirit was patriarchal and his conscience guided his 

 thoughts. He was one of the most distinguished Congregational 

 laymen in the country, and was honored by being selected to 

 serve as moderator at an Illinois conference. His prayer on that 

 occasion remains a classic to those who heard it. He was buried 

 Tuesday afternoon, April 8, 1919, in the village cemetery at 

 Naperville, his shaft within sight of Oakhurst's pillars. No stone 

 can ever symbolize the imperishable monument he holds in the 

 hearts and minds of American breeders.
