Eleazar Boynton. by Charles H. Loomis. THE life of the Hon. Eleazar Boynton, which closed in Medford, June 5, 1901, was a marked and pleasing example of a well-rounded career: In character a manly Christian; in business a successful merchant; in political life honored by his fellow citizens; in religious and church interests an earnest worker; in benevolence a consistent and generous giver; in social life a welcome friend; and in the family circle highly favored and happy. The termination of a life built upon such foundations, and with such environment, must of necessity leave a place difficult to fill in the circles affected by it.

Dr. Horr's application of Tennyson's lines from In Memoriam to the life of President McKinley was very effective: Dost thou look back on what hath been, As some divinely gifted man, Whose life in low estate began And on a simple village green; Who breaks his birth's invidious bar, And grasps the skirts of happy chance And breasts the blows of circumstance And grapples with his evil star; Who makes by force his merit known And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty State's decrees And shape the whisper of the throne; And moving up from high to higher, Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope The pillar of a people's hope, The centre of a world's desire.
