ter, his sterling integrity, his consistent adhesion to principle, 

 have won the respect even of those who iiiay have differed from 

 him in opinion, and secured him the confidence and esteem of 

 the vfhole community. 



In his death, the profession which he loved and which he has 

 followed for nearly half a century, has lost an honored member; 

 one who worthily deserved the confidence which was reposed in 

 him, and a place has been made vacant which will not be easily 

 filled. In his attentions to the sick chamber he well deserved 

 the title of the " beloved pliyslcian.''^ 



His last illness, protracted for many months, was borne with 

 unfaltering patience, with a perfect trust in God, and finally he 

 passed peacefully away to the rest which remaineth to the 

 righteous, leaving no incompleteness in his character, and as we 

 survey his life, we feel that his work has been well done. 



For three years from 1862, Dr. Boutelle was one of the Trus- 

 tees of the State Industrial School at Lancaster, having been 

 appointed by Governor John A. Andrew. 



Dr. Boutelle's professional brethren recognized liis worth by 

 electing him to the Presidency of their District ]\Iedical Society, 

 and to the Vice Presidency of the Massachusetts Medical 

 Society. 



Dr. Boutelle made public profession of his faith and united 

 with the Unitarian Church in 1835, and in 1839, was elected 

 Deacon. 



In our towns which he has so long traversed, in our homes, 

 so many of which he has familiarly entered as he pursued his 

 calling, in the house of God where he devoutly worshipped, his 

 presence v/ill be missed — but we would not call liim back, for 

 our faith teaches us that it is well with him, that he has gone to 

 rest in the bosom of God. The Master called him and he passed 

 on to his reward, but he left behind, the memory of the just 

 which is precious, and furnishes the assurance that it is not by 

 great deeds, but by sincere faith, by modest merit, by faithful 

 discharge of duty, that Ave become entitled to the approval of 

 Heaven.
