Notes:

Name:
He was for many of his earlier years an invalid, so much so that he lost almost entirely the yers usually devoted to education. But he was characterized through life for his sterling good sense and judgment, and still ore for his gentle and kind heart. If any thing else was needed to render him beloved and esteemed, and trusted by all who knew him, it was his strict conscientiousness. He seemed to feel no other motive than duty; and how faithful he was to every conviction of duty, they best knew who saw him most.
