Tribute

S. P. Langsford

 

Commander and Comrades:

Death has again entered our camp and removed from among us Comrade S. P. Langsford one whom we all knew well and loved for his many qualities of excellence.  When his country needed his services in its defense he buckled on his armor and entered into its defense on the day of [? 186?] by enlisting in Com [?] Regiment of [?] Brigade.  As a soldier he was brave and also ready in the discharge of any duty. As a citizen he demanded the highest respect of all, as a business man efficient and reliable quiet and gentle as a woman, warm and tender hearted as a child.  His whole life was one....of love and affection. His heart and conscience was the furnace in which he shaped his daily work. There was nothing little nor selfish....about him, he labored to make the world better to scatter sunshine and ....in place of gloom and despair and now he is dead we revere his memory.

W. J. F. Ross, J. B. Wilson and T. B. Jackson - Committee
