At the opening of the September team of the Shenandoah Circuit Court Monday, Hon. R.J. Walker, of Mt. Jackson paid the following tribute to the late John H. Dulin, which Judge Harrison ordered to be placed on the records of the court
Your Honor:--
Since the last term of this court, death, that mighty reaper that spares none from his sickle, has entered our ranks and claimed for his victim John H. Dulin, one of the youngest members of this Bar, who fell like some tall cedar of Lebanon lightning-stricken.
Mr. Dulin's illness was of short duration, he left here with his wife and little daughter on the 19th of July to visit his loved ones at the old homestead near Leesburg, very soon after his arrival there he was stricken down with typhoid fever and continued to grow worse until the end, Saturday evening August 12th 1905; his body was brought here by rail on the 15th of August, a very large number of people--friends, neighbor and brothers had gathered at the depot to receive it, and followed the hearse of their loved dead to the beautiful Massanutten Cemetery, and with bowed heads and sad hearts, his body was lowered to its final home in his adopted county to await the call of the angels, no sound broke the stillness save the reading of the scripture, the reciting of the beautiful burial services of the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias the melody of music. John H. Dulin, was a young man of sterling integrity, he was every inch a man, his private character, like Portia, was beyond reproach, the breath of suspicion did not even dare to dim its lustre and brightness. He was a lawyer of considerable ability, he loved his profession and gave to the law his unstinted devotion, knowing, that like a jealous mistress, it would endure no rival; in his business life he was upright, industrious an attentive; a true friend, a dutiful son, a devoted and faithful husband, a tender and loving father, his affection for his young wife and only child, a baby daughter, was a sweet and pure as a mother's kiss; he was a good christian, earnest and devoted to the cause and interest of his church and christianity, so high and pure were the ardor and quality of his character that he was an easy master of every temptation....
