As a boy playing marbles when a student at Siloam Academy, Surry County; as a cowy on a Texas frontier; as a farmer, tilling the soil in the valleys of Missouri; as a brave soldier and Captain in the Civil War, contending for human rights, deal ing with human life - the last to surrender at Appomattox; as a husband and father; as a merchant behind the counter: as a lawyer, pleading at the bar; as a Collector of Internal Revenues. Working for the Government; as a Com missioner, appointed bv the President of the United States, to investigate Indian Titles in the far away State of Minnesota; as a candidate for Con gress, defending democracy against an able opponent; as a member of the Legislature.

His energies. And his talents to the building lof this school, to the end that useful knowledge maxr be disseminated - that better opportunities may be put in the pathwav of every youth in this mountain land.
