December 30, 1853; Died, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, S. A. March 27, 1880 The father of the deceased was then one of the teachers of the Sabbath school, and, if I recollect aright, George was one of the boys brought by Brother Dyre to me for drill and instruction in regard to the coming Sabbath School celebration. I formed his acquaintance about that time, and I became more intimately acquainted with him afterwards. He was an associate of my own son, who has gone before, and was an intimate in my own family. I had, therefore, an opportunity to learn a great deal about him in his natural character, as well as in his subsequent developments. He was, what many have remarked of him to me, a natural born gentleman. He had those qualities of head and heart which won the esteem of all who came in contact with him. Amiable in character, he never, so far as I remember, expressed an unkind sentiment, but, on the contrary, his judgments always seemed to be dictated by kindness and love. Shortly after I removed my family to Washington, there was a class of four boys organized, of which George was one. Of these, but one now lives, J. Alexander Edgar, the Secretary of the Sabbath school, and the son of the Sabbath school Superintendent, and I am thankful that every one of those boys were brought into the fold. Our dear George was somewhat late in manifesting his adhesion to Christ, but we hear that it was not a death-bed repentance, but that the seed which had been planted, and the prayers which had gone up in his behalf in former years, had brought forth fruit, and that before the hand of disease was upon him he had considered the great subject of eternity and had given his heart to Christ, and he left a testimony - I believe it was contained in a letter to the Superintendent of his Sabbath school - in which he testified his hope of everlasting life. While I thank God for this very satisfactory conclusion of a career in these three cases, that was evinced under such favorable circumstances, we have reason to-day to be grateful above all things.
