Jiii)t be^ saying loo niiieli to say that 

 fewer 'men had mory friends than 

 George Uose. He won ihem to iiim by 

 his gentle, masterful, unassuming way. 

 Ifis .actions, true and steadfast, lield 

 ■ the friendship given. Actions speak 

 naore eloquently an<l loudly in men's 

 every day life than the roll uf gathered 

 lliunders, or the roar of ocean rising 

 ill. wratli ati' the whisper of its king. 

 A,ll men were his br<sthern. His voca- 

 tion in life by clioiV.e. was that of a 

 fnrmer. In thi.s he was jirosperous. 

 life was frugal , in his u ants and desires, 

 and satisfied to live and work among 

 the fields where tli« birds whistled 

 their wild notes of gladness, and liealtlf 

 and abundance came f<-om tlis breast 

 of the soil. Public notic* he sought 

 . i;iot after, and he flared ni|ught for 

 Jiublio office and its emoluments. 

 Jtaised and nurtured under tlie be.-t 

 nnd sweetest of hohse in,tluence.s, ho 

 learned lessons of purity^ devotion of 

 purpose and nobleness of character, he 

 i,'rew up blest with liealtli and a clieer- 

 ful mind. He was fond of his home. 

 Heaving for a time, lie always returned 

 «.o It like a bird to its nest, blithe and 

 happy. The precepts taught George 

 Kose, in this, his dear home, uere the 

 jloftiest, and best tiiat a loving grand- 

 ,1 lather, a doting mother, a devoted 



1 child he 



into th.. livc-s -of inaiiy. .V.^ 

 had excc|i(ional conlidi-ncH in his ]iai- 

 ents, yielding a clieerfu 1 obedience, and | 

 so, iiuaer th(! watchful care of an in-j 

 dulgent.and airectiunale father andj 

 n'lother. and in the loving and perfect 

 companionship of an older sister, a 

 happy childhood was passed. 



As lie grpw through boyhood j-ears 

 to young manhood, his sunny tempera- 

 ment iiredominated, although other 

 qualities of disposition disclosed them- 

 selves— all'ection and generosity in 

 abundant measure— a youth of many no- 

 ble traits. His buoyancy of spirit at- 

 tracted. Friendship and affection 

 came to him unsought. 



Through desire, not of necessity, he 

 left his home at the early age of eigh- 

 teen years, 1 6 enter, in a city, the strug- 

 gle for a liveliliood. It cannot bo. ex- 

 pected otherwise than that this is fob 

 lowed liy hardships, and the courageous 

 way in which one so young took upon 

 himself the problem of .self-support, 

 was evidence of great self-reliance. 



During the years of liisalisence from 

 home his parents received regularly 

 from him cheerful letters, and other 

 evidences that his affectionate regard 

 for them had not lessened. 



The last two years of this short life 

 were passed largely in \Vashingl,on, D.
