[306] called away in the dark hours of the war, the hero of Gettysburg, the record of whose simple tombstone reads:

George Gordon Meade, Major-General U. S. Army. Born in Cadiz, Spain, Dec. 31st, 1815. Died in Phila., Pa., Nov. 6th, 1872. ‘He did his work bravely and is at rest.’

So lived and died one who, according to those who knew him best, whether parent, brother, sister, wife, child, friend, or fellow-soldier, bore himself nobly.

1913.
