Excerpt from Historical and Biographical Papers, Vol. 1 Our own community was long blessed by the presence of one of these exceptionally pure and beneficent lives, - one among the most eminent and useful of all that class of men, and now that he has been removed from among us, and while the light, which death alone sheds, still illummes his career and throws back upon his character that charm which invests the recollection of a cherished object when lost, we are prompted, by a sentiment, both just to the dead and ennobl'ing to the living, to commemorate his virtues and great services. Doubtless, this tribute of our respect - labor as we may to perfect it - will leave us with a sense of still undischarged obligation for his services, and of unexpressed or ill-expressed reverence and admiration for his virtues.
