Notes


161. Jesse S. Holbrook

Editorial Mt Eagle Newspaper Thursday Feb 18 1909: A Good Man. In the death of Jesse S. Holbrook, of Millstone, the whole country suffered a severe blow. Such men, living such a life as he lived, are a blessing to the country. Around them radiate examples that can but live in the hearts of their children and their generation. Proud, brave, truthful, firm in Christian faith, such a man was an ornament to his children, his neighbors, and an honor to God. We may not soon see his like again, but may others rugged in truth and righteousness grow up as firm as he and live the example he left. It was always a pleasure to meet Jesse S. Holbrook, for you knew that what he said to you was the truth. If a friend, he was always that in its fullest meaning. A good man is gone and the Eagle drops a tear at his demise. May God comfort and heaven bless the great host of bereaved friends.
