SHIAWASSEE COUNTY .29
We may surround ourselves with broad acres stretching out in every direction; we may be able to count our gold by thousands; or revel in the accumulation of bank stock and other securities, and yet our names be a by-word and reproach in our families, the church or the neighborhood in which we live. Thank God it takes something more than gold to buy the esteem of our race or else many of us would be deprived of this boon. How was it then in reference to that man whose mortal remains now lie before us?
