Excerpt from Francis William Bird: A Biographical Sketch

Well worthy of study and admiration is the life of a man who, in spite of obstacles and discouragements, attains success; who, though never abounding in robust health, lives with unimpaired faculties and capacity for enjoyment beyond the Biblical term of four-score years; who, outgrowing the narrow limits of a prescribed creed, comes into the sweet serenity of a liberal Faith; who has taken an intimate part in many national crises, been the trusted friend and counsellor of the most distinguished statesmen of his day, and won the hearty respect of opponents with whom it was his fortune to cross swords in strenuous strife.

Such a man was Francis William Bird.

He has many claims on remembrance.
