IIO IN MEMORIAM. 



and an angler after our beloved master Wal- 

 ton's own heart ; and he truly possessed and 

 practised many of the characteristics and vir- 

 tues of "good old Izaak Walton" of blessed 

 memory to all who "be quiet and go a-angling." 



Memory "harks back" through nearly a 

 score of years of acquaintance with this ac- 

 complished fisherman, and always with pleas- 

 ure ; and 'tis hard to realize that his deft 

 hand will no more cast the fly as an adept, 

 or his sound advice be given to the novice in 

 the craft which he so well loved and hon- 

 ored ! He will be missed in many a pleasant 

 camp, now sacred to his memory ; and with 

 trembling voice and uplifted hat will his 

 name be spoken by river and mere, on moor 

 and mountain. 



Peace to thee, friend and angler ! Thy 

 memorials are in many hearts, and in the 

 fly-books and "kits" of thy angling friends 

 will be recalled the pleasant voice and smile. 



O. W. R., in Boston Transcript. Jan. 2, 1883.
