LENAWEE COUNTY.22
L. D. DEWEY.
As the sturdy oaks of the forest fall before the woodman's ax, so the honored pioneers of the county fall before the sickle of Death. One by one
they leave the pleasures and hopes, together with the sorrows and disappointments of this life and take up their abode in the silent city of the dead. They are gone but not forgotten. Though their forms may crumble to dust, the works of their hands will live after them, and when these have also passed away, their memories will still survive, fondly cherished by
future generations.
