MEMORIAL ADDRESS.
Memorial Services were held
Sunday morning at the Metho-
dist Church for the former Super-
intendent of tlu^ Rusti op Public
Schools, Col. J. C. Edmonds.
The seating capacity was taxed
to the utmost, while many stood
in the vestibule and aisles. The
Memorial Address was delivered
by the Pastor, Rev. A. 1!. David-
son, as follows:
4"However it be, il seems to me,
'Tis only noble to be good."
—Tennyson.
Acts 11.21. "lie was a good
man and full of the Holy Spirit
and of faith-"
These words of Scripture are
descriptive of the character of
Barnabus, who was the compan-
ion of St. Paul. The same words
may be fittingly and properly used
as descriptive of any go id Chris-
tian man. For our purpose, this
morning, we desire to use them
in connection with the man whom
we delight to honor, in this me-
morial service. This service has
been set apart by our Public
School, to commemorate the life,
and pay homage to the memory
of our departed friend and broth-
er, Col. John C. Edmonds, who.
for the past live years has tilled
with great acceptability, distinc-
tion and credit the position of
Superintendent of the Public
School of Bastrop.
We hold this service, not be-
cause we believe that he was a
perfect man, for he doubtless
made mistakes, as all mortals
have done, but because we sin-
cerely believe that Col. Edmonds
was "a good man." If he had
not been so regarded, this service,
to-day, would not be held. We
are not here to eulogize the dead,
or apeak of the unfortunate, trag-
ic manner of his going, but to of-
fer a fitting tribute to the memo-
ry of a good man's life. What
we say or do now cannot harm
him, or add to his happiness.
For the benefit of the living,
therefore, and especially for these
young lives who still feel the
warm impress of his loving hand,
and hear even now the tender
voice that is forever hushed in
death, this service is held. We
here commemorate the virtues of
this good man. We present to
you the history and the example
of a man, whose life still lingers
with us, as precious ointment,
poured out into the lives of oth-
ers, and from it we may learn
that industry, honesty, fidelity
and capacity for knowledge and
learning, for usefulness and good-
ness. may still be embodied and
exemplified in the living.
The , Col. Edmonds I i veil
while amoiiii>iou, s, peaks for itself,
in stronger language than I can
possibly command. The elements
of Christian character, which we
beheld in him, are worthy of our
consideration and imitation, The
inspirational value, and the true
character of a man is to be meas-
ured and estimated by the way he
lives, rather than by the way he
dies. For after all. death is but
a mere passing incident, a paren-
thesis. in the great infinite circle
of a man's eternity. The manner
of man's death neither creates
nor affects in any way, his desti-
ny. "Man looks on the outward
appearance, but Cod looks on the
heart." If we are to judge the
tree by its fruits, surely, the
deeds of a life time, may be ta-
ken as a safe index, as to what a
man's destiny will be, in the oth-
er world.
First of all, Col. Edmonds, was
ji good won, because he was a
Christian man. He loved ( od,
and riijhftonsntss was the </"w-
^iav( noti of his life. He was a
"'good man" in tin- truest sense,
in that he was a goilh ' ho
a sincere, earnest Christian, yet
he was never a religious bigot,
and though a devoted, consistent,
loyal member of the Episcopal
Church, he was in no sense a sec-
tarian. He loved every righte-
ous cause. He contributed, liber-
ally, not only to his own church,
but to all the churches. He was
generous even to a fault He
built his life uixrn the solid rock
Christ Jesus. His life from early
manhood; up to his untimely andj
tragic death, was strong, pure,
good. His religion, while of com-
man sense type, was fervent and
spiritual. He was a splendid il-
lustration of the truth, "Not
slothful in business, but fervent
inspirit, serving the Lord." It
was always a benediction to all
present, whenever he prayed in
the great public congregation,
I and it can be truly said, that he
' was a strong man in prayer.
J,s (I teacher, he teas il Ijl'eftt SUC•
He had all the gifts
for a successful instructor,
and disciplinarian, llis influence
with teachers, and over pupils,
for good, was marvelous. He
had rare gift?, by nature, and
these combined with a strong per-
sonality and Christian character,
made it possible for him to wield
a strong and uplifting influence
on the lives of all with whom he
came in contact. One man who
had known him for a number of j
years, wrote a letter to me, say
ing that "During all the time I j
have known Col. Edmonds I have
never known anything in him that
was inconsistent with a Christian
gentleman of the highest type."
The fact is. said he, "1 do not bt?-
i lieve that Col. Edmonds was ca-
llable of doing a known wrong."
This was his estimate of the man,
and he had known him intimate-
ly for many years.
The fit us iii' ('ol, /.''IhdiiiI's
a a < * i r.i'il mourning in this town,
and throughout the State, when-
ever he was known, is to be found
hi th> ni'iii hii/isflj. It was his
character, and because of the
strength and beauty of that char-
acter. ami that alone, that has
drawn so deeply upon the sym-
pathy, and love of those who
knew him. No man was ever
more universally beloved, while
he was Mayorof Sherman. Texas,
>r as Colonel of a Texas Regi-
ment, or as an Instructor, or
Superintendent of a Public School,
than was lit*." His life was gentle,
ind the elements, so mixed in |
him. that nature might stand
up, and s y to all the world,
"This was a Man." Or, as
another has said:
"He had then the grace too rare
in every clime:
Of being without alloy, fop or
beau,
A fin.shed gentleman from top
to toe."
Those who have seen his state-
ly bearing, his grace ami gentle-
ness of demeanor, his kindness
and tenderness, readily, give as-1
sent to the declaration, that he
iras ii ni'in, yea, a good man, j
good, not in the sense of being,
good for nothing, good
not in the sense of being a neg-
ative character, and harmless,
but good for whatever tns/,- and
work his hands and heart found
to do: good for aggressive, en-
ergetic service in the cause of
right, good anywhere and every-
where in the service of man,
and for the dory of Cod. Piob-
ably, he was one of the finest
illustrations of "faith, hope and
charity" we have ever known.
Being an optimist by nature he
scattered sunshine and good
cheer where-ever he went. He
combined those rare elements of
christian character in such a way
that the world could but say,
"there is a friend of humanity, a
servant of the people, a lover of
children, and a man who truly
reflects the image of his Lord."
1 am told that it was a char-
acterityic, that men met Col. ft I-
monds, only, to love him. People
as a rule felt safe in confiding in
him, and little children were
drawn irresistably to him. The
high and the low. the poor and
the rich, all alike, loved him, and
vied with each other in paying
him respect and honor, both in
life, and in death. The next
striking characteristic of this
man was his «>/ / stiouing faith
in tin /ironiists of (toil. His
faith was simple and child-like,
and for this reason, he found it
easy to believe in his felloic men,
He was honest, conscientious,
and loyal to every principle of
right, as he understood it. He
was brave as a Numedian
lion, and gentle, and meek as a
lamb. He combined the vine
and flower, with the rock and
oak in his life. With his sympa-
thy,meekness and non-resistence,
which he possessed to a remark-
able degree, he also added the
firmness, riger and justice of a
man of undaunted courage. "His
eyes looked right on,and his eye-
lids looked straight before him."

nevolent and kind. He never
disappointed his friends, nor
sought tn deceive his foes, but
measured up to every due, and
met every responsibility in life,
grandly and unflinchingly. He
belonged to the old chivalry, and
believed that principle and truth
should be vindicated at any cost.
Like Robt. E. Lee, he believed
strongly in the word "duty,"
and faithfulness to "duty" as he
saw it. was the master-purpose,
and main spring of his life. His
mistakes through life may have
been many, but no one ever
('0 ilited his loyalty to truth and
right, as he understood it. He
joined Moseby's Command in
Virginia, during the Civil War,
at the age of 13. He soon dis-
tinguished himself for bravery,
valor and faithfulness in many a
hard fought battle. As a Col. of
the 4th Texas Regiment in the
Spanish-American war, he also
acquitted himself with honor.
While he was tender and sympa-
thetic as a woman in his nature,
he was nevertheless, bold and
fearless as a soldier.
In the South-land during the
four years of fratricidal war, it
meant something to be a true
soldier. It is said that on one
occasion his mother, who was a
devoted christian, and member
of the Episcopal church, gave
him a pocket bible. He put it in
his trouser's pocket, and a short
time afterward, the next day,
while engaged in a skirmish with
a yankee soldier, he was shot
with a 44-calibre slug, which
ploughedthrough the pocket-Bible
and struck his thigh bone, giving
him an angry wound, which caus-
ed him great suffering, and which
he carried to the end of his life.
It was discovered, however, while
dressing the wound that the bul-
let's force was largely weakened
and spent by striking the Bible,
in his pocket. His mother had said
when giving it to him, "take
it, my boy, you cannot tell how
soon you may need it." Sure
enough it was needed, for doubt-
less it saved his life, not only
from death on the battle field,
but gave him strength and in-
spiration through all the vicissi-
tudes of the coming years of his
eventful life. In Munson's his-
tory, "Reminiscences of a Mosby
Guerilla," the author makes hon-
orable mention, repeatedly, of
I the conduct of -lohnny Edmonds,
! during these terrible years when
men's souls were tried as by fire.
! During all these war experiences
i as a soldier boy in the Confeder-
ate army, in Moseby's command,
and in matured life, as a Col. in
the Spanish-American war, as a
College Professor and Superin-
tendent of our Public Schools, we
find him acting the part of a
gentleman, a christian, a patriot,
and a true soldier of Jesus Christ.
When the Ci- il War closed, we
are told that John Edmonds, as
he was then known, could neith-
er read nor write. Col. Mosby rec-
ognizing his unusual native abili-
ty, once said to him, "If you
could read and write. I would
make you my Lieutenant.
He was then about 17 years of
age. His parents were poor, and
the succeeding years were years
I of privation, struggle and toil

ter Teacher, and ns a citizen.

When time is o'er and worlds have
passed away;
Cold in the dust the perished
heart may lie,
But that which warmed it, once,

| In conclusion let me say, that
j the death of Col. Edmonds, how-
I ever, is a public calamity. He
I was tenderly and devotedly loved
. by our people, and is already em-
balmed in their affections. Prob-
ably, no man ever stood higher
in this community than he. I!i.-
death is deplored by every man,
woman and child. The tragic
manner of his death has sadden-
ed every heart, and cast gloom
over the entire community, tin
memory of which will live with
us for many years to come. H<
will not only be missed by his
wife and children, but by all who
knew him The teachers here who

these, and all. will sadlv mis:-
him, and their lives, though rich-
er and stronger, by having known

departure.
