It was our privilege to have an intimate acquaintance with with Mr. << EYRE>> of many years standing, and in all the relations of life we knew him as an upright man, a good citizen, and a kind parent. To plainness of manners and an unassuming appearance, we may add that of an open and undisguised manner of speech which some may have thought to be a fault. It was his habit neither to [ ? ] speech, nor actions, and when he spoke his sentiments were known. His life was an example of temperance and virtue. Strictly honest in all his dealings, his integrity has never been questioned. Truly did he pursue the peaceful path in life's tempestuous journey. Travelers on the way through life should remember and imitate his many virtues.
