OBITUARY RECORD.
Visit to our Cemetery.
Sad are the words, "_It might have been_," sad the recollection of
lives untimely ended, and equally sad the lives that perished unborn.
We have been looking among the latter, the spirit life that might have
gone forth to bless society, but perished ere its birth.
The JOURNAL OF MAN has brought forth many a bright, strong thought
that will have its career among men, but the other bright, strong
thoughts that could not be forced through its narrow limits must be
buried and lost to its readers, and they have been interred with
sorrow. The following is a list of our early dead--perhaps for some of
them there may be a resurrection when a larger JOURNAL is issued, but
perhaps the majority are interred forever.
