eminently conspicuous in every surviving member of his family. An honest man's the noblest work of God".

>> "He possessed a mind superior to fear, to selfish interest and corruption, a mind governed by the principles of uniform, rectitude and intergrity, the same in prosperity and adversity which no bribe could reduce or terror overawe. In no
situation of life was he ashamed or afraid of discharging his duty and acting his proper part with firmness and consistency. He was faithful to his friends and generous to his enemies, selfdenying to little private interest and pleasures but
zealous for public interest and happiness, magnanimous without being proud, humble without being mean, just without being harsh, simple in his manners but manly in his feelings, on whose word you could entirely rely, whose countenance neer
deceived you, whose professions of kindness were the effusions of his heart. One whom you could always trust in as a friend and love as a brother."
