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.
