IN MEMORIAN.

DIED—On the 38th day of September, 1878, at his rooms at tue Terre Haute HOUHC, of congestion of tho stomach, after an illness of tiiree days, Hon. William Kirkpatrick Edwards, In tUe fifty-eighth year of his a

Mr. Edwards was the ton of John and Hetty Edwards. He was born in leff.reon county, Kentucky, at the family homestead, on Bear Grass creek, two miles from Louisville, on December 26, 1820. His father was an old and wealthy citizen of his county, universally known and respected. His mother's inaiden name was Steele—a sister of Col. Richard Steele, of Louisville, and a relation of the old Rowan family, so well known in Kentucky. She had first married William Kirkpatrick, of Shelbyville, Kentucky—a merchant of intelligence and distinction in his day. Mr. Edwards' mother died in his infancy, and his early rearing was confided to an old, family, nurse, colored, known as Aunt Aggie, for whom he ever entertained the highest affection, and of whom he always spoke in terms of the most grateful remembrance. He was very kindly nurtured by this nurse, and taught to speak pure English, without any of the peculiar accent which usually results from such training. His education, as a youth, was directed by Prolessor Robert Smith, an eccentric, but finely educated man, who kept a select classical school for bojs in the neighborhood of his father's place. He was eent daily to and from this school on horseback, accompanied by one of his father's colored servants. Smith was a tutor of the old style—harsh and arrogant in manner, but withal, an excellent teacher. He prepared Mr. Edwards fully for college. The choice was then offered him to go to any of the old and well established colleges or universities in the East—but he selected the Indiana State University, at Bloomington, and was there matriculated in the freshman class in 1837, at the age of seventeen. He pursued his studies at the university bteadily and successfully during the succeeding four years, and was graduated with honor in 1841. He chose the law as his future profession, and, in the fall of 1S41, entered the law department of Transylvania University, at Lexington, Ky. He attended there the prescribed course of study and lectures, and in the summer of 1S43, was graduated as a Bachelor of Laws. He pursued his studies, in the intervals of his university course, also, as a student in the office of the late Judge Pirtle, of Louisville, Ky. —and brought with him to this country a letter, commending his ability and integrity, from that distinguished jurist.

Mr! Edwards came to Terre Haute late in the year 1843. The fact that his half sifter, Mrs. John Reinhard, (to whom he was greatly attached, and who had done much for him in his tender years,) resided here, probably determined him in the matter of his location. He came, hawever, with the avowed determination to stay, and cast his lot amcng our people. Many of the older residents here can remember the warm terms in which he expressed this resolution, and all know the faithfulness with which he kept it.

He opened a law office, shortly after arriving here, in the old frame building then owned by the late Mr. Farrington, on the north east corner of the public square and across the hall from the office of the late John H. Watson. He at once sought the acquaintance of the best. citizens of the place, and,*iti an amazingly short space of time knew them all, and acquired their esteem. He especially hunted up every Kentuckian ordescendent of such, in the county and soon be* came their friend. He devoted himself to the practice of his profession for some time, and was successful therein. He brought with him, to this place, some means which he had inherited and which enabled him to live outside of any income from his profession. Notwithstanding this he devoted himself sedulously to the law for several years and acquired a good, general practice, It was not however to his taste as it changed and subsequently .developed.

In 1845, he became a candidate for the legislature from Vigo county, and was elected with the late John Dowllng by a handsome majority, by the old Whig party. He served out his term as Representative with great credit, and, during it, made the acquaintance of probably every prominent man then in the state which he retained until their or his death. He here laid the foundation of a general state acquaintance, which he enjoyed, ev«r after, to an extent, perhaps, not surpassed by any citizen of Indiana.

In 1S4S Mr. Edwards was a secdnd time elected to the State Legislature, in conjunction with the late Thomas Dowling, and served during the session of 1848-9. In 1850 he was a third time chosen as Representative in the Legislature, with John P. Usher and William Goodman, and served during the session of 1850-51.

On the 30tb'of May 1853 Mr. Edwards was elected the first Mayor of Terre Haute, under the city organization, and at the end of his term, on May 5th, iS 54, he was re-elected to a second term. He revised all the existing town ordinances and prepared such additional ones as were required by the change from town to city government, all gratuitously. He made an excellent may or. „.'v

In 1S5S Mr. Edwa.ds was, the fourth term, elected to the Legislature "from Viio County, with Col. John P. Baird, and served in the called session of 1858 and the regular session of 1859.

In i860 he was one of the electors, for the State at large, on the Bell and Everett ticket, and as such made numourous speeches, throughout the state, in advocacy thereof. He origanally was of the conversative branch ot the old Whig party, his attachments to which was very strong. He could hardly realize the fact that the old party could be destroyed and Was among the few of the -Old Guard" left, at its disband™ cnt, on the first elec-, tion ot Mr. Lincoln. He then becamea pronounced Republican, served that party well and honorably to the end oi his life. He was a member of the Republican state central committee at the time of his death.

From 1683 to 1S67 Mr. E. spent much of his time in the Internal Revenue office of this district as assistant to Mr. James Farrington, the assessor. He rendered this service more as a tribute of kindness and affection to his superior— an old and valued friend—than for anv

compensation. His salary was very little. He performed, however, a vast deal of work. Those who knw of the intricate and disagreeable questions—growing out of the income and other special taxes—vhich continually met him, in the course of the duties of that office, were amazed at the magnitude and patience of his labor therein —yet he toiled on, night and day, with a Da'tience rarely equalled, seeking to be just and true to the government, at all times, to help the ignorant, rebuke the guilty and give offence to none. The class of duties which he so well performed in connection with the revenue department were the most irksome and thankless that, probably, any one can be called upon to transact. His kindness of heart saved many from penalties, who, doubtless, have long since forgotten, if they ever kne*r, the hand that shielded them. He closed his official connection with the revenue department most honorably*--

In 1872 Mr. Edwards was elected to the legislature, with the late Patrick H. Lee for the fifth and last time. It was tacitly understood by his party, throughout the state, that, in case of his and its success, he should be chosen speaker of the House. His well-known thorough knowledge of parliamentary law and ability as a presiding officer ensured him this position. He was accordingly elected speaker of the called session of 1S72, and re-elected at the regular session of 1W3. This was the last pulic office which he held. He performed the duties appertaining to it, with a promptness, accuracy, urbanity and freedom from complaint, which has not been equalled before or since in this state. He always had the bu$ine»s of the House—the larger and more unwieldy body—in advance of that tf the Senate.

Aside from the public offices held by Mr. Edwards, he spent much time and labor as a director, on the managing boards of many private cor porations. He was a director of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis railroad company, almost from its inception, also of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad Co., of the Terre Hau'e, Danville and Chicago Railroad Co., of the First National Bank of Terre Haute, was the president of the Wabash Draw Bridge Co. for several years, and held many other places of business trust in various associations.

Mr, Edwards was a^ devoted and "bright" Free Mason. He was initiated by Terre Haute Lodge No. 19, 1846, passed May 7, 1846, and raised June 4, 1846. On the 25th day of October, 1849, he took his dimit for the purpose of assisting in the organization of Social Lodge No. 86, of this city' of which he was afterward Worshipful Master, and in which he held membership at his decease, as a Past Mabter.

Mr. Edwards was initiated as an Odd Fellow by Covington Lodge, No. 21, I. O. O. F. October 9, 1847. He applied to this Lodge as the nearest one, at that time, to this city, and for the purpose of qualifying himself to aid in establishing a Lodge here. He was one of the original petitioners for the charter of Terre Haute Lodge, No. 51, which was instituted, principally through his endeavors, on January 21, 1848. He was admitted as* a member of the Grand Lodge of Indiana, in July, 1849, elected Deputy Grand Master in July, 1851, and Grand'Master in July, 1853. He was a Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of the United States, held at Baltimore in 18156-7, He wa6 a member of the Grand Encampment of Indiana, being at the time of his death Grand Patriarch, thechighest office in the order in the state.

In connection with educational interests it may be noted that Mr. Edwards always exhibited much interest therein. He was, a long time, an examiner of teachers for the common schools of the ity, was tor years a Trustee a President of the Board of the State University at Bloomington—his Alma Mater, and Secretary of the Board of Managers of the Rose Polytechnic Institute.

The foregoing portion of this sketch furnishes the general facts relative to the public lite of Mr. Edwards. It shows that he had many occupations and a many-sided life. A few words may be permissible as to the modes in which he discharged these obligations—the character which he established, and the memory which his private virtues left among the people of this community.

As a lawyer he was well versed in the principles and practice of the Common law. He had given these exhaustive study. He had at the outset considerable taste for the general practice of his profession, but gradually lost this, and became engaged in business specialties not immediately connected therewith. His mind turned to the branches of the law effecting corporations. He became largely employed, as a counsellor for variolic corporate enterprizes and associations, and was esteemed always as a correct and safe adviser in such matters. He, probably prepaared and supervised more papers relative to corporations and corporate interests than any person at his bar. In 1865 or 6, he whol ly abandoned general practice and became the special counsellor and business agent of the late Chauncey Rose, assisting in managing the large landed and stock interests of that wealthy and benevolent gentleman, which precluded other employment. He was one of the executors of the will of Mr. Rose.

As a literary scholar Mr. Edwards was far above mediocrity. He had been well grounded in the classics, had read largely of ancient and modern literature, history, science and belles-lettres. He delivered many polished and interesting lectures, orations and disccurses on a variety of topics, which will live .after him. If these Were collected and published they would constitute a most readable and entertaining volume. Without having taste for, or skill in, oratory, h^ was a graceful and pleasant speaker.

As a legislator, Mr. Edwards had much experience, running through a quarter of a century. He was, from time totime, a member of the most important committees of the Lower House of the Legislature of this state. He drafted many acts of a general and local nature, advocated them, in an effective manner, and left his impress on the statutes of the state. He was a ready and correct Parlimentarian. He seemed to have a natural gift in that direction. Asa presiding officer in any public body, he had perhaps no superior in the state. He scorned all legislative tricks, and labored in the most arduous rfnd painstaking manner, for the good of the people

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE,

and the state. He was always in his #eat, in the Legislature, when in session always watchful of the interests of his constituants- and served them with singular and cheerful devotion. His reputation was that of being one of the most useful and honorable legislators which the state has produced.

Some of the personal traits of Mr. Edwards may be alluded to. In all the walks of life, official or private, he was everywhere recognized a man of strict purity integrity and unsullied honor. No word of suspicion even, was ever uttered against his honesty or fidelity. His stalwart honesty was to him

"That tower of strength Which stood four square to all the winds that blew!"

He was the recipiant of many important trusts and many delicate business and personal secrets, of others, were confided to him. He neither mismanaged the one, nor revealed the other. The most exacting punctuality in all matters, either of business or social life was one of his marked characteristics. He kept all promises or appointments promptly and could illy excuse the lack of that quality in others. He was pu nctlious, beyond degree, in the prompt payment of any personal debt and at his death owed no one. He was a person of great kindness ot heart.and benevolent nature throughout and many are the witnesses among the poor and unfortunate of this. community that can I testify to thousands of kindly and sympathetic acts, quietly performed by him, in their behalf. He had a wonderful memory not only of facts and papers and books but of names and faces. He rarely forgot even the christian name of any person he had previously met, be it man, woman, or child. This rare faculty enabled him to instantly recall the surroundings of almost every one he had ev^r known and was an element of popularity seldom possessed by other men.

Mr. Edwards was never married, but although he left no child to bear his name,he did leave the impress of it on the hearts of thousands of little children whom he knew in this city and state. His fondness for children was wonderful. It amounted almost to a mania. It is probable that he knew, personally, more little boys and girls than other man in the state. He would leave almost any employment or person, for the time being, to meet and catess them. Many parents can recall the kindly acts performed by him to.vard their little children, and the various kindnesses he has rendered them. He was constantly procuring small presents for his child acquaintances, visiting them when sick, and greeting them affectionately when he met them. The love which little children bore toward him was abundantly testified on last Sunday, by the throngs of them who took a last look upon his dead face.

In social life Mr. Edwards was most agreeable. While he sought but few intimate friends, he enjoyed the friendship of the whole community to as great or greater extent than any resident in the city. His social acquaintance was very large and wide-spread, covering all places in society. His presence was as cheerfully greeted in the humble homes of the poor as in the dwellings of their more favored neighbors. His temperament, was generally exalted and happy and he did not seek1 social enjoyments when feeling otherwise—but at times,_ he was subject to great depression of spirits and could not bear them, Unfortunateally he had a congenital nervousness that pursued him from his cradle to his grave. He could not overcome it. At times it was fearful and amounted to a disease. Often an ardent squeeze of the hand, a slight tap on the shoulder, any thoughtless jostling of the person or even a mild touch of it would cause him intense suffering. His friends who knew of this affliction were very considerate of it others, not aware of it, were liable to mistake the cause of occa sional ebullitions of temper, on his behalf, and, for the time being, take offense thereat. It is due to his memory that his acquaintances should know that one of his greatest battles of life was to overcome and control this natural infirmity. Few persons are aware of the life-long suffering it caused him. He could not stop to explain it to everybody who approached him, and it often caused him great mortification and sorrow.

Mr. Edwards was a good colloquist and his extensive observation and reading made his conversation instructive and entertaining. He usually had some good thoughts or information to offer on almost ai»y subject on hand, and when in the vein o£it, he conversed,verv finely. He was pure in colloquy, as in heart and thought and abhorred immorality or obscenity of speech. He had good natural wit and liked any exhibition of in in others. He had quite an appreciation of the ludicrous in all matters and circumstances and enjoyed it. He delighted in innocent games of all kinds, spent much of his leisure time at them and was V6TJ proficient in them. Many social circles will miss his future presence in such enjoyments. His manners were, highly cultivated, and at all times and everywhere he bare nself caa well balanced and admirable gentleman—one wttich the com munity could illv afford to spare.

Mr. Edwards evinced a singular at tachment for his home. He seldom left Terre Haute, even for a single day. He made but few journeys, and latterly only on the most pressing business calls. He visited Texas twice during his residence here on private business, and incidentally saw something of the south and southwest portion of the country. He never was in New York Citv, New England, or to any extent,] in the Middle States. His only visit to the eastern sea-board was a trip to Baltimore in 1856-7. Such was his fondness for his home and ordinary systematic habits, that he refuse some profferred appointments to honorable office elsewhere, rather than break up his home attachments. He occupied the froom, at his hotel, for more than twenty years.

The public obsequies of Mi. Edwards took place on Sunday 29th ult, under charge of the Grand Encampment of the Indiana of the I. O. O. F. The large attendance of distinguished citizens from various parts of Indiana and Illinois which was present and the vast outpouring of his fellow citizens which followed his remains to their last, resting place attested the public esteem in which he was held* No burial rites performed

A WARNING AGAINST GOING THERE JUST YKT. Mineota, Wood Co.,Tex., Oct. 2 To the Editor of the GASITTE:

Say to any of our people that think of coming to Texas not to think of it at present. Unless they procure health certificates at home and again at St Lou is. Hence my arrest for 5 hours near Little Rock. Railroad passes &c« did me no good but off the train I must go. But I didn't go. Just how I staid doesn't matter, The quarantine restrictions are right, but St. Louis should have competent men at all trains and not allow passengers to board trains without certificates. I have had a lively time since leaving Terre Haute last Monday night. There is no yellow fever in Texas.
