He first, was an honest man, in him there was no guils, plain, simple and thoroughly genuine At peate with God and man e voice of God. He loved human ature, old and young, to all he was an inspiration and comfort. "The hoys argririi'llfrn called ~Tto Beavers' was conceived In Ms mind and worked out to the profit of many Jtoya."

The Beavers attended in a body and these young boys were a touching sight as they followed their beloved leader to his final resting place.
