Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life, Character and Services of Hon. B. F. Hopkins: Read Before the Wisconsin State Historical Society, November 15, 1870And judge by that standard, the life of our friend was indeed a long and useful one. Though he had lived but about forty years, his experience in life, his accomplishments for himself and the public, were greater than falls to the lot of most men who live double that length of time. His was a mind to de velop young, to ripen early and to expand as events occurred, with wonderful vigor. It was never idle. Lvith quick per ceptive faculties, great sagacity and superior judgment, he grasped a subject at once, and in a brief time, comprehended it, in all its bearings, however intricate the problems that might be presented. These traits of character rendered him a man of great power and usefulness in community, in whatever capa city he might act. The death of such a man, is a sore af¿ic tion to the people, but there is consolation in the fact that he was spared so long, and accomplished so much, as did our friend, whose death we so deeply deplore.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
