was known and looked up to by all classes from one end 

 of the State to the other, and far beyond its boundaries. 

 His versatility was remarkable and his successful efforts 

 for the development of the State were in most varied 

 channels. He was one of the happiest of men, cheerful, 

 even tempered, overflowing with knowledge and informa- 

 tion, delightful in conversation and admirable in every 

 relation, loved and honored throughout his State, and 

 among a large circle of friends and acquaintances in this 

 and other lands. His life is a model for all,, which may 

 well be followed. A great and good man has passed 

 away.
