FERDINAND E. WHITE
MEMORIAL
From Proceedings, 1853, Page V-438:
"Resolved. That death has made a chasm in our body of no common character. It has severed from us and the community one, an ornament to society—the upright merchant — the good man — the kind father — the model Mason — the gentleness of his demeanor, the courtesy of his every act, in short his whole life and actions have endeared his memory to us, which time may never obliterate. May this loss be sanctified to us, and we be stimulated to that performance of duty here which shall hallow our memory, when with us, time shall be no more,
Resolved. That we mingle our grief with those who have lost their guide and councellor, invoking the kind father of all to shed his blessings on them and to uphold them in this their dark hour, and may the remembrance of the virtues of the lost and loved whisper peace to their souls.
