A truly good man is, in any community, of himself a treasure - a treasure far above and superior to all material things. It would be improper indeed to institute any comparison between man, in his noblest and best estate, and the richest gem that ever glittered in the diadem of wealth. He who exhibits constantly a thoroughly developed manliness, an integrity wholly above and beyond suspicion, whose word of honor is perfectly reliable, whose promise is made to be fulfilled, whose moral principles are of the highest order, whose life is always a choice blessing to his family, and in some measure a benediction to neighbors and friends among whom his lot is cast, should be looked upon as contributing largely to the truest riches of a community - to a wealth that is inconceivably more and better than that which is comprised in houses and lands and all earthly goods. Of this class of men Mr. Leonard Brace, whose death occurred suddenly at the pleasant family residence, in Fulton, on Thursday evening, August 19th, 1875, was a fair and honored representative. Coming among us on the 4th of July 1842, he had been for a period of thirty-three years well known by the early settlers of Fulton and adjoining towns. And he had been known to be respected and loved by all. He was quiet and unpretending, of pleasing manners, with genial qualities that always insured him a cordial welcome in social circles. An honest man, with a moral character above reproach, he was most highly esteemed by those who knew him best. To lose such a man from the community, as the master of the Fulton Grange forcibly expressed it, in conversation with the writer of this notice, is a "calamity." Though the neighbors feel the loss sadly, it is felt yet more keenly by the members of the family circle. May the blessed hope of immortality and a joyous reunion in the "Sweet by and by," furnish all needed consolation.
The funeral services were conducted at the late residence of Mr. B., on Sunday, August 22, by Rev. G. W. Lawrence. Friends gathered from near and far to pay their last respects to departed worth. The Fulton Grange, of which Mr. B. was a member, under the direction of the master, R. T. Powell, took charge of the procession, and conducted the appropriate funeral services of the order at the grave. Tearfully, yet hopefully, were the earthly remains laid away in a pleasant spot in the Edgerton cemetery, by the side of the dust of the dear wife and mother, who nearly three years ago passed on to the sweet rest of heaven.
