Excerpt from Samuel Johnson, a Memorial: March 20, 1826 August 13, 1899
There is no question but that our lives are greatly influenced by those with whom we asso ciate. Consequently it is well to perpetuate as much as possible the memory of one who, to an unusual degree, has won the respect and love of his contemporaries, in the hope that this may prove a source of strength and inspira tion to his descendants.
