A Tribute To The Late r Ch-
J.
When a man like Dr. C. J.
dies the loss to a com-
is instantly realized but
not H easily estimated. value
of such a life in indelibly fixed in
memory, for it is seldom indeed
that one so great in mind and
heart is dwelling among us.
It is n t the purpose of this writer
to attempt a sketch or review of
the notable career of thin
man, but to mention
brief and simple words of
some of the qualities and
virtues that made him for so long
time a valued and distinguished
in our midst.
Ir. was endowed by
nature with rare talents and
gifts of mind. His luminous
intellect, his fertile brain,
superior knowledge, his learning
in books and intelligent
of human affairs, his inflexible
honesty and rectitude
in aim and purpose, his laudable
and enduring traits of character,
all these gave him a high place in
the esteem and affections of men.
and they bestowed on him their
homage and admiration without
stint or reservation. As a
of long experience and busy
and lucrative practice, he stood
the forefront of his profession.
His superior merits and abilities
were widely recognized, and doc-
tors far and near bowed to his
mature wisdom and sought bin
for advice and consultation. He
was to his great k, be
loved his profession, and mastered
it and practiced it as a science and
a blessing to mankind. From
of his professional ca-
bis aptitude and talents made
bis progress and success
He didn't falter, nor super-
on the lint advanced
steadily forward and upward to an
eminence and distinct ion that but
few ever reach. He diligently
the steep where
proud temple shines
became the pride ornament of
his profession. Never arrogating
to himself superior excellence, he
seemed to care nothing for
honors of a name, nor sought any
of the crafty arts to elevate himself
above bis fellows, and yet by his
higher wisdom and knowledge,
greater learning and experience, he
could but fill bis natural place and
stand in rank a a
with few equals and no
in our State. There are nu-
families today who feel that
there is none other who can take
his place as doctor in their homes.
In him they bad implicit faith and
adoring confidence; their
like muffled drums, arc beating
mournfully over the departure of
him who can visit them no more.
Besides his great medical skill, his
very presence, his attractiveness,
bis hopeful, assuring words, served
as a benediction in the sick room,
strength in bat
disease wasting
illness. For the past several years
of his aged career he had a
and needful assistant in his
busy, professional duties
in the person of his talented grand-
son and namesake, Dr. C. oil.
and the partner-
ship thus formed gave him some
relief from his incessant labors, and
these occasional hours of leisure
could but be welcome to a nature
so ripe years still strong
in physical and mental force and
apparently unwearied by the four-
score years that whitened his head.
We may believe that the grand-
father felt a just pride in the signal
success and growing reputation of
the grandson, seeing him so well
equipped In brain talents,
ready established in a lucrative
practice and secure in the public
confidence, and destined to wear
high honors which
he himself adorned for so long a
period and gave the best years of
his life
It can be said with truth that
Dr. possessed
that would have brought him
lofty distinction outside of bis pro-
if bis genius bad inclined
him to such His
powers, his resolute will,
bis chivalrous nature and com-
presence, would have
served him well in any political
ambition he might have cherished.
in our recollection be had no
such aspirations, and at the slight-
est intimation of such preferment
by his friends he rebelled against
the very thought and toss-d back
the proffered plume, unwilling to
woo the fickle of politics,
and immovable in high purpose
to pursue with whole mind and
heart the one noble be loved
honored so well. He was a
fluent, earnest and forcible speaker
though occasions were
when he appeared upon the
public rostrum. In response to
calls in a political assemblage his
addresses were brim- full of reason
and logic, delivered in terse
cogent English, evoking most
hearty applause. He was well in-
formed on political questions, and
while a vigorous he be
the contests between parties
should be conducted on a
plane of thought and action. The
Louisville Courier Journal was one
of his favorites newspaper read-
being specially loud of the
racy and brilliant editorials of
Henry so compact in
potent and political
written in a style so
felicitous and vivid. Dr.
kept himself in touch with
brightest best thought of the
times. He was a ripe scholar, his
acquaintance with both ancient and
modern literature was extensive,
and bis memory retentive and
failing. classical lore none
among us knew near so much as
he. To have his critical opinion
and comments on any literary
question or production was always
a delight, for his discourse the
erudition of his own brilliant and
cultivated mind shone forth in full
splendor. By his courtliness of
manner and matchless graces of
speech be become the
sure of all eyes in any circle or
company. He could command at-
at will by the charms of
his conversation. the versa-
of his and scope of ac-
he could instruct and
enlighten by his learning or de-
entertain and amuse by
his wit and pleasantry. The rich
bis vocabulary and apt and
witty illustrations made him a fa-
and if circumstances
his use of the weapons of
and ridicule was
and most effective.
Dr. seemed to live in
atmosphere of dignity and state-
independence. He stood as a
chief among men, not because of
self assertion or that he claimed
greater excellence, but by right of
his honor, his courage, his
bis well virtues.
There was within a proud
that he wore no hypocrisy's
mask, and that of the arts of
dissimulation he practiced. Mens
was his guide. He
can led false banners, but fol-
lowed the straight and open path.
He was candid and sincere all
things, and believed in straight-
forward honest dealing square
and manly fashion. He was bold
a in I outspoken in bis opinions, and
never spoke low to es-
cape oppressor's wrong, the
man's He ha-
all sharp practices, all
and petty policies, and fearlessly
denounced wrong or injustice
wherever he saw it, uncaring the
consequences. His moral nature
was never stained by selfish greed
unholy In this
he never lie-
came in the mercenary
for wealth. To amass
great riches was rot

He was satisfied with a sufficient
competence to meet all reasonable
wants and conveniences and for
himself and family to live in com-
and independent fashion,
and this was extent of his es-
There were other rewards in
life money which he prized
and gained. accomplish
his faithful work and the
appreciation gratitude of the
many he served helped, were
compensations that counted much
with him added to his sum of
human enjoyment.
Notwithstanding his preeminent
powers the exalted station he
filled, he was accessible alike to
all the lowly as well as the high
born, the poor as well as the rich.
He tendered his outstretched hand
as graciously and spoke greeting
words as warmly to the toil-worn
man, no matter how sorely tried
by poverty's as he did to
the opulent and mighty. He I-

The deeds of kindness, the acts of

bright jewel in the crowning honors
of his extraordinary life be-

immense generosity of his nature.
V e will say such a man was
faultless, for there is none perfect
among us. Whatever his few
frailties they are reckoned as but
slight and fade away as we con-

noble and manly deeds, which are
written on the iron leaf of eternity

helped humanity, has sunk from
