Noted Humanitarian.
Many a human shed a tear of
sympathy or breathed a sigh of
sadness when it was announced
That George T. Angel had de-
parted this life. The Sherman
Democrat makes the following-
mention of some of his work:
“George T. Angel of Boston,
the great and good friend of the
dumb animals, is dead, at the
age of 86 years. Angel gave
$50,000 to the education of man-
kind in the humane movement
in which he stood at the head for
His monthly
publication, Our Dumb Animals,
was sent to 20,000 newspapers
and to the law-makers of our
government. He caused to be
published and distributed millions
of books and articles all over the
world. Not only this, he or-
ganized children into bands of
mercy all over the world to teach
them to be kind and gentle to
every living creature. Through
his work hospitals for the treat-
ment of horses that shall fail un-
der their loads of burden have
been founded and laws passed to
. prevent cruelty to; animals. The
good work he has done will last
and expand, for others are taking
it up. His lectures were master-
pieces, and it is said thousands
would sit for hours and listen to
his pleas for humane treatment
of the horse, cow, dog, cat, bird
and even the worm under our
feet—every living animal or in-
sect intended for the betterment
and happiness of mankind.”
Fbw men have ever lived more
useful, beautiful or happy lives.
His work was not a theory, but a
life practice, grounded in doing
good to men, animals and in-
sects. His work will live while
time lasts.
Louis Dorbandt, of Burnet was
a guest of relatives here Tues-
day. He has sold his possessions
in Burnet county, and will move
to El Paso in a short time.
