Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Memoriam, William Miller Paxton, 1824-1904: Funeral and Memorial Discourses With Appendixes and Notes I share with you, Christian friends, the great regret you will feel as I announce that Dr. Warfield, who longer than any other of his colleagues has been associated with Dr. Paxton as a professor in the Theological Seminary, is unable to be present to-day and to give expression to our deep and common sorrow in view of the death of this eminent minister of the Church of God. At a later day Dr. Warfield will deliver a discourse commemorating his character and life. At this service, however, it is fitting that we refresh our memory of him by a brief recital of the main facts of his public life and by noting some of the salient features of the man. William Miller Paxton was born in Adams Comity, in the beautiful southcentral district of Pennsylvania, not far from the southeastern slope of the first range of the Appalachian Mountains, and not far from the county-seat which has given its name to the fiercest and longest battle of the Civil War. He was born among a people partly British and partly German in their blood, whose social life derived its charm from the fact that the College and the Theological Seminary of the Lutheran Church were in Gettysburg, and also from that Gemutlilichkeit, which, if the word cannot be translated into English, is easily recognized by any one who has had the happiness of living in a town created by a union of British and German settlers. Here Dr. Paxton's family had lived and been prominent, for two generations when he was born on June the seventh, 1824.
