Carroll Banner- East Carroll- March 30, 1889
    Cut down in the flower of manhood, the bloom of life, the intenest joy of 
being; unfathomable mystery joy of being; unfathomable mystery of the Divine 
will; where shall that young wife, so sadly bereft, go for lessons of 
fortitude more sublime, than that clothed in the last words of the good man 
who shall walk among us no more. So anxious to live, so nobly prepared to die.
    His heart ever  melted at the appeal of charity.  He was the widow's 
friend, and the orphan's benefactor.  Many of his acts of benevolence were 
known only to the recipicents.  He did not give to be praised of  men, but it 
flowed out of he fountain of noble impulses, which was set in his soul, whose 
wellspring was the instinct of his knightly nature.  He attained very near the 
height of goodness, which is a broad humanity, a love of the public, and a 
constant aim to  help the helpless.  He was the dispenser of true hospitality 
in his home, aim to help the helpless.  He was the dispenser of true 
hospitality in his home, where his life as husband and father is now a 
hallowed history.
