were few and difficulties many. It was very touch-
ing to see the marks of love and appreciation from the
whole town when his remains left for Philadelphia.
All those who knew Dr. Lloyd will be interested
in this tribute to her husband’s memory, written by
one of his life-long friends, at the time of his death :





‘At Bangor, Michigan, on the 6th inst., FRANKLYN LLoyp,
formerly of Philadelphia, in the 34th year of his age.

‘The Dread Archer has chosen a shining mark. He has
added another to the list of his noble victims. To our short-
sighted human vision, every circumstance conspires to make
this bereavement more cruel, and our grief more poignant. A
mind singularly gifted with those qualities which commend the
admiration of men, and tempered by that training in the
school of Christ which makes them the blessing of society,
might seem fitly to demand long years of usefulness. A judg-

entitled in the economy of human progress, to the fullest scope
for their benign influences on the world. But “God seeth not

son and brother, always thoughtful and affectionate; as a
friend, of well-tried, never-failing constancy ; and as a husband,
the tenderness with which his first vows were breathed, seemed
to be only deepened and ripened by the lapse of time, At a
sacrifice of self, he chose deliberately that position, in a com-
paratively unbroken country, which afforded the largest field
for his industry and talent. With undaunted resolution, he
met and conquered every difficulty of a new aud untried enter-
prise, and at an age when the names of most men are scarcely
heard in an active community, this young stranger was ac-
knowledged and respected as a leading spirit With a Christ-
