Ms. Cleveland, sister of the President Grover Cleveland, pens a beautiful eulogy for famed abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher who had died the previous month.
She writes of him (in part): "It will be long before the last word will be said of Henry Ward Beecher. To take all the testimony as to the fruitage of his life, his love and his labor for his fellows, would be to transverse in all its round area this world of ours...and to halt with recording pen, at many obscure dwellings whose occupants discharge in constant, unrecognized remittance of love and gratitude, their life-long debts for the most they are in spiritual life, to him their preacher, teacher, and friend."
