o)r. Edward E. Brown was a gradu ate of Harvard Medical College. He had a brilliant mind, and wns ambitious, but disease laid heavy hands upon him beforo he got a good start in his profession. Dr.

E. Mackey was a good doctor and took, quite an interest in his studies. Lc had a large practice and enjoyed the esteem of a host of friends. We have very pleasant recollections of the doctor as he wasvn jovial fellow: Asa. D.

C. BarneSf-D. D. was a very active dentist, had a good prac tice, and made his mark in his chosen field. He was studious, and loved to meet his fellow dentists and arouse in them tho idea of performing first class work.

Ho had a wide acquaintance, and enjoyed tho respect of every ono who knew him. Theodore C. Mozee, D. D. was one of the younger nien in the profession of dentistry who had a great vision.

Ho was intenselv in earnest and arrayed himself with the good fellowship of Chicago's leading men. He studied hard to improve himself in the science of dentistry, and had he.lived would no doubt have become a great force in the life of Chicago. The BJismir Chemieal Col did not originate with him but he tie organization into being. a a Here also arc the names of several of Chicago's leading women who did their part for the race: Mrs. Johnson, mother of Mrs.

Dora Binga; Mrs. John G. Jones, another old settler; Mrs. Elijah Johnson, Mrs. Peyton, prominent Baptist, mother of David Peyton, the musician; Mrs.

Mc- Kissack, mother of Dr. McKissack, eminent surgeon; Mrs. Alexis, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams. Mrs.

Knichten. Mrs. C. E. Ferrell, Mrs.

Mary Death- ridge and Mrs, Hattie Mcintosh King. These are by no means all of the most noted of our dead friends who sleep out there in the cemetery, but the larger majority of them comprise a portion of Chicago's best citizens who while they lived won tho respect of the public of both races. Some achieved distinction that was world wide. Father Tolton, the first Amer ican Negro priest. All of us remember Prank who won the world's championship as pedestrian.

Some were hopeful of long life but Great Nature decreed otherwire. Much they might have done would have beon a great blessing to tho race, but they are gone on, merely before us. Just over the hill in the abbreviation of a short spell and we too will have to pay the debt that they have paid.

While we pause a moment to think reverently of the dead, we might there from get the idea that it is good to think well 'of the living. Most of them set before us good examples and enshrined their names in our sweetest memories. Certainly they represented the first ripe fruit of Negro civilization. Many of them made history that will be written in after years. We are too near to tho scene of tho snfomlnr that them beloved.

Tbc glamor of those bright days are bright in our uiuius. juany oi wo men wnom we honor were members of tho Toureee Olub an organization that entertained the lamented Frederick Danglass, Dr. J. Trice, Hon. John Mercer Langstpn, B.

Say what you will tho friends we mourn today were startling evidences that we belong to a great race, and seeing what they accomplished in the face of obstacles, we who enjoy yet the blessings of life may feel hopeful, and take heart having -faith in future dealing Jdndly with ns as it has with them. They had the courage of their convictions, and did not hesitate to meet tho gauge of battle on any occasion whenever tho rights of our people were hold in the balance.

For us they protested. For our cause risked the horror of ostracism among white people, and brought many a hardened sinner to see tho light of truth on many questions appertaining to our race welfare. For all such wc-moum their death. and will in all the future years have that joyful recollection of their nobil ity, their sense of righteousness, and claim them as champions of our cause who laid lie best they had to give (their lives) on the sa--of alter of human equality, and race brotherhood, God being the Father of nil. From these we may form some conception of the power of a race of public, men, and women who could reconcile homely virtue with high spirit.

Our Soldiers Who Died for the Cause of Democracy. We are not in possession of the names of the soldiers contributed by Chicago to the latcWorld War who died on tho battle fields in France or in the cantonments while in the military service of their country.
