xxxii WAYFARING NOTIONS 



resolute energy, his absolute '' straightness " and 

 impartiality, his fearlessness and geniality, made 

 him a place which perhaps no other will ever 

 occupy. " His lovable, almost unique personality," 

 said the Tribune in its obituary notice, "made 

 him the trusted friend of high and low," and this 

 note of his lovable personality was sounded by 

 all who knew him. " He never made an enemy, 

 or lost a friend." In his home he was ever and 

 wholly unselfish, devoted, and tender. He passed 

 peacefully away on the 24th of April 1906, and 

 w^as laid to rest in the churchyard of Stoke 

 d'Abernon, Surrey, loved by every soul who 

 knew him. How regretted cannot be told.
