Father Winter
"He was an honest man. His word was everywhere as good as his bond, and no one who knew him feared to trust his interests in his hands.
"'He was a Christian. His life was characterized by strict integrity and every Christian grace, and his end was peaceful and happy.
" He was a man of athletic frame, and a constitution, which, aided by a temperate life, bore him to a good old age, through hardships which few men could endure.
Tranquil and safe, he laid him down to rest. Calm as an infant on its mother's breast, Back to his God he gave his willing soul, And rose triumphant to the Christian's goal. "
