His Industry Jhl faithful q,hHervanre of
hie dulles, bin watchful and tender an. j
ilcltuda for bia , patient,, hi skill aa a
phyalulau, and his consummate apti
tude a a surgeon brought him Into a
widely extended practice, which, In
time, was diffused far beyond thelimlta
of hla native county; He was sought
after and seut for, t only from the
nuwt remote Miuta iu Orange county,
but from the neighboring counties of
Person, Caswell, Chatham, Alamance
and Granville; not Infrequently being
called for by patients alcnir the line of
the rail road to ell points,' at different
llmeM, along ita whole course.' His
was a life of continued activity, oever
for moment inierruptedexcept uuder
the exigence of, wrsoiial .suffering;
aever, even, la those days' when the
genenius beams n a deserved pmaperity
illu'minaled his pathway,' did he per
mit himself the indulgence of luxurious
eaaelui the detriment ' of his dulles.
And thia was the prlrrciple upon which
Tie acted throughout life. Long after the
rrostsof three score years and ten bad
ellvercd bia flowing hair and whitened

every day on horseback obedient to

tie, by a similar call from auopptwite
direction; met In all cases without de
lay and without' complaint,' aiid with
out the rent and " refreshment so ninch
reulreil at 'hin age.' It was this un
murmuring promptness, exerted too
ofUu with the kuowhnlge that uo re
compeiiae awaited him but the reward
of his own coiiscieuce, that made hliu
eo trusted; and it was libunhetitating
obedience to profeaalonal calls, remin
ded to without refereuce to social or
pecuniary condUon, . tliat aided to
make hlui so beloved. ,
