With the passing away of this most venerable character Burlington High
School has lost a shining star,--a star that shone in the hearts of all
his students and of all of those who knew him. He was a friend of all
creeds and was always ready to lend a willing hand to them. Religious to
the utmost and a real American in the full sense of the word,--such is
the character of the soul which will no longer cheer us in our daily
tasks, but which will remain in our memories forever.
