of whom saw himdaily and who took
inspiration and encouragement from
his affability. He had a keen sense
of humor and in periods of depres-

senile and laugh. He was often the
source of consolation to those who
were depressed and was always wel-

At the age of eleven years he was
left fatherless and in spite of the
insistence of his mother, Mary J.
Young, that he remain in school, he
decided- that his duty was to his
mother':and the other members of
her family and at that immature age
he determined to be of assistance to.
those who had been left alone. His
first undertaking was in a spall job
printing office. On account of his
youth and his size it was necessary
that he stand upon a pile of firewood
under the case in ord:er•that he ,might
