Fifteen men, all but two of whom
were personally known to me, then;
and some, for many years thereafter;
So far as I know, only one, Demas Strong,
of Brooklyn, N. Y., has not passed over

Judge Tweed of Arizona lived till a
year or two ago.

the flood of Jan. 1850, came on, for a
few days, in a mild way and showed
the need of regular authorities with
power to raise and disburse moneys. | cams_benton_b028_f011_001_01413 [centered]
