ton, a distinguished lawyer, of Montgomery, Ala., told me he had taught 
in her father’s family about the end of the civil war and taught her 
Latin. But after Prof. Beaumont went to South Alabama, I did not 
meet him again, though we continued to correspond. He was a good 
man and a good citizen and a sincere and pure Christian, but not much 
of a creedist. He loved science, in all its vast field, with the zeal and 
fidelity of an enthusiast, and his death was a real loss to our science.
