| Content Description | Quotes, "We need be careful how we deal with those about us, for death carries with it to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done - of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired, that such recollections are among the bitterest we can have. There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures let us remember this in time." One bust engraving of Worden included. |
