In the death of Mr. William J. MCEWEN our community has sustained a sever loss. His enterprise and public spirit commended him to all who aspired to the best in life. His integrity and courage were no less conspicuous than his intelligence and kindness. He was a man among men; his convictions of duty were clear and deep. Ever loyal to his high ideals and true in his friendships, he aimed to realize his responsibilities in the home, the church and society. It is most fitting, therefore, that we, the directors of the Robinson Run cemetery, should publicly express our high regard for the personal worth and devotion of Mr. MCEWEN. We knew and honored him for his untiring zeal in promoting the best interest of the cemetery. It was his one ambition to make a place where our dead might lie amid the charm and quiet beauty of nature. No task was too great, no labor too arduous if it promised better things for the resting place of those who have gone beyond. Most generously did he give his time and strength to planning for greater improvements. He coveted the choicest methods by which we might render a proper return to the lot owners for their money invested. Most humbly submitting to a gracious Providence we desire to offer this tribute to the noble zeal and unstinted devotion of our townsman, Mr. MCEWEN. The community is richer and human life better because he lived. We rejoice in the goodness and earnestness that characterized his life and deeds. Grateful for his service, blessed by his example, we deeply sympathize with his family in their bereavement, and ever pray that we may profit by every worthy life lived among us.
