Century Memorial
We have next to regret the well-known face of that conscientious artist Henry A. Ferguson. Then in sympathy we reach our hand to the brother of George Prentiss Butler, teacher, student, banker, meriting and achieving signal success; and then we grieve that we shall see no more Gustav E. Kissel, well-known to so many of us. We think of Charles W. Truslow, truest and kindest of friends; of Dr. Charles Talbot Poore, so courteous and quick to aid; of Dr. George C. Freeborn, so honest, so unselfish in his life, so helpful to the younger men; of William F. Bridge our dear old comrade, of George Hale Morgan, Lawrence Henry Schwab, scholar and divine, and of Halsey C. Ives, long to be remembered for his strong and disinterested labors for art in St. Louis. Our thoughts then turn to Colonel Charles W. Larned, Dean of the United States Military Academy, true soldier of the Christian faith, and, as so many know, a power making for the ennoblement of character with the young officers he taught.
