Since then our venerable cousin,Elizabeth (Ballon) Garfield has been summoned to the immortal home, , 1888, in her 87th year, and several others of our kindred who hoped tobehold this long promised volume. An octogenarian remnant of our greatcousinhood linger a little longer on the shore of mortality to fulfill theirearthly mission. Of these I am one; and now, on the verge of my 85th year,send my best benedictions along with this Family Memorial to all who maywelcome it, hoping that it will impart good cheer to many and harm to none.
