Description:Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered by Hon. Neal Brown of Wausau, Wisconsin, Before the Loyal Legion of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, Feb, 7, 1912 An Address Delivered by Hon. Neal Brown of Wausau, Wisconsin, before The Loyal Legion of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, Feb. 7, 1912 Friends of the Loyal Legion: I cannot but remember the last time I was your guest and those who were with us then who will never more return. Gone are the kindly faces; stilled the kindly voices. Yet because they are gone I think I esteem and cherish more the friendships that remain. You must all seem a little nearer to each other because of your lessened number. Yet death cannot end friendship, and to our latest hour we are all fated to long for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still. It would not seem appropriate for me to speak to you to-night without some remembrance of the great American, Abraham Lincoln. In this informal meeting of friends I cannot feel justified in making any rhetorical euology. It seems to me that around your camp-fire, only the simplest speech will be appropriate. And especially, in telling of one who in thought and speech, could charm and sway alike little children and great scholars. Great orators have already many times given to the life and character of Lincoln the last spoken word of eloquence. But the finality of set eloquence or praise cannot debar us from the thoughts and remembrances of him that crowd upon us. And comfort it is to know, that around unnumbered hearthstones, and wherever men like yourselves are met, they will pause a little to breathe their ritual of the greatest grief that ever visited our people. I have wondered oftentimes what was the quality or element of character that so strongly endeared Lincoln to his countrymen. Some might think it was in part because of his untimely death in the very hour of victory. But I do not think this, nor can I think it was because of his qualities of statesmanship, for other men have been great in statecraft.
