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.
