Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 10:04:24 -0500


Resolutions continued:

"Third, That the memory of his deeds of valor will live as long as life is
in the hearts of his old soldiers and comrades; while his talents and his
eminent services, upon both the Circuit and Court of Appeals benches have
indelibly impressed themselves upon the public records of the State he
loved so well and served so long and ably. Fourth, that whether on the
field of battle, or in the halls of Congress, or sitting at the highest
court of the State, his voice and his heart and his brain always turned to
the right, and he was ever the champion of the people, and the strong and
eloquent defender of their liberties. Fifth, that we, his old soldiers, and
comrades, whose thinning ranks have yielded only to the all-conquering
ravages of time, do now bow our heads and our hearts to these, our last
services to our beloved commander, whom we followed in death and in life,
and we do declare that in valor he was second to none; that in patriotism,
he was as pure as the sunlight of God; that in wisdom, he sat at the
council board with the wisest, and that in all that constitutes an
honorable citizenship he measured up to the highest standards of humanity.

"May the God of us all rest his soul in peace and may we follow him and be
with him, when we shall pass over the river, and rest under the shade of
the trees. Sixthh, That these resolution be spread upon the records of this
camp, and that copies theeof be sent to the widow and son and daughter of
the deceased."
