His life in bond of brotherhood Sought right and light, gainst wrong and sin;| As friend and counselor he stood To strangers as to kith and kin.⢠His arm and voice, in dangers hour, i Were strong in action and debate; How much we owe him for the dower Of service left to town and State! The garlands laid upon his bieri Bespeak his worth; from near and far, I And Altons grief is all sincere, f Where shone this presence as a star. And so we leave him honor crowned,| Who wrought so bravely to the last; He is not dead, who thus renowned, Has left his impress on the past. a* IS H I. â 149 Ijjtt^ iff»» ^ö§ ?lfton turnte fcfimiitfet t ijnrhsrljule. t j â.â I | 1902.
