HON. JAMES PHINNEY BAXTER
IN MEMORIAM
Sprague's Journal of Maine History
Volume 9
July, August, September, 1921
page 131

In memory of one whose life has been a benediction,
We gaze upon thy silent face,
In reverence to one who was truly great,
Reflecting upon thy long life of usefulness;
As Poet, Historian and Philanthropist
Thy name will e'er be remembered
Throughout the State, in every age.

Great men of renown have lived before thee,
And thy life has drank anew
From the fountain head of knowledge
From the sweetest, pure and true;
Now thy soul will e'er be feasting
In that better land above
Where no sorrow, pain or anguish
Enters the sacred realm of love.

VICTORIA AURORA MAGNUSSON.
Librarian Baxter Memorial Library, Gorham, Maine.
June 2, 1921.
