There is no need for conjecture or imcertainty in determiningas to the value and success of the life of the late Owen T. Denison,who died at his home in Mason City on the morning of Thursday,April 7, 1910, for he realized in most significant sense that truesuccess is not that gained through commercial pre-eminence orpersonal aggrandizement, but rather that which lies in the eternalverities of human sympathy and helpfulness. It was given himto attain large success in connection with the material activities oflife, and none but worthy means contribijted to this success, abovewhich he left the gracious heritage of noble thoughts and nobledeeds. He was a man of broad intellectuality and viewed lifeand its responsibilities in their true proportions. He was notgiven to half views or rash inferences, but was a man of strengthand judgment and lofty motives.
