George Sewall Boutwell

4.9/5 (29456 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Memorial Meeting Lieutenant-Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., said, in taking the chair: Friends - We are met in commemoration of a life nobly and fully lived by a citizen of Massachusetts. It was a life so abounding in usefulness, and so rich in length of days that it has been deemed best that the conventional oration should be displaced by a series of appreciations from men of many opinions and of varying careers. The monument we seek to raise tonight is not the polished obelisk wrought by the master builder, but the cairn that rises as each man tosses upon its summit the chosen pebble picked from his own field of effort. It is fitting that the Commonwealth should express the gratitude of Massachusetts that such a man lived among us, for the ideals by which he lived were Massachusetts ideals, firm and deep-rooted as the granite of our Massachusetts hillsides, and the title by which the publicist, the lawyer, the Congressman, the Secretary, the Senator was ever and will ever be greeted in the mouths of the people was none of these, but Governor George S. Boutwell. The Rev. Charles G. Ames, D. D., made the invocation. The presiding officer read the following letters which had been received, and communications from the Hon. Patrick A. Collins, Mr. Moorfield Storey, Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson and the Hon. George E.McNeill, who were unable to be present: Augusta, Ga. Nobody esteems the character and services of our departed friend more highly than I do. I had a hearty affection for him in his life time and I revere his memory after his death. Carl Schurz. Maitland, Fla. To me he was in many respects the noblest figure on the stage of public life in America. How we shall miss his wise counsel and heroic leadership! But his example remains with us an inspiration to uncompromising effort in the great warfare we are waging in behalf of liberty and eternal right. Albion A. Perry.
