Section 8 PRYOR (-continued from last page-) Left side: He was nature's favorite child, blessed with a matchless person, a superior mind and a noble heart. The manner in which he sustained his social relations in life commanded the love and esteem of his relatives and friends, and is a priceless consolation in their distressing bereavement. Front: As a son his filial piety was exemplary, as a friend he was constant and generous; as a master he was humane and indulgent; as a gentleman he was chivalrous and affable, and as a man he was liberal, charitable and benevolent. In his death, humanity has lost a patron, poverty a protector, society an ornament, his parents their all. His career in the world was brief but bright: and it is hoped that the many virtues of his heart and mind will be matured and will flourish perpetually in the Paradise of his God.
