Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life, Character and Services of Hon. B. F. Hopkins: Read Before the Wisconsin State Historical Society, November 15, 1870 Mr. President and Gentlemen of the State Historical Society: Men die, but their deeds live after them. It is the mission of this Society to keep a record of such things as go to make up a perfect history of the State; and there is no one thing that will do more in this direction, than to keep a record of the lives and deeds of prominent men who have resided in the state - men whose characters and actions have been identified with the public interests. It is with a view to aiding in making this record as perfect as possible, that I accede to the request of this Society, to prepare a paper on the life, character and services of our late distinguished fellow citizen and active co-worker, Hon. Benjamin Franklin Hopkins, whose death on the first day of January, 1870, caused general mourning throughout the State, and was an especial affliction to the people of Madison, with whom he had so long resided, and by whom he was so highly respected and esteemed. In the brief paper that I may present, it cannot be expected that I shall particularity interest those who were familiar with the subject of it, while in life, but it may prove of some interest to those who come after us, and are in search of historical events.
