He never sought prominence, but it was always thrust upon him. Whether as governor, as chief justice, or as a private citizen, his simple, uneffected manners and life were his chief characteristics. The “Old Governor,’’ as his friends loved to call him, filled a laige place in his love of this state, and of him more than any , other public man it can be said that of enemies he had none. In the neighbor­ hood where he had lived for a number of years, he was highly respected. He took an interest in neighborhood affairs, and served the Woodstock school district as director, with the same care and atten­ tion he had given weightier affairs. BOX SHOOKS.
