Michael F. Slocum.
We think we recognize the following
tribute which appears in the Canaan
News, to the gifted pen and generous
natured inspirations of our old asso-
ciate on the GAZETTE, Mr. John Rode-
nrver, Jr. ,
The death Of Duputy Sherifi' Michael
F. Slocum, of 'Winsted, removes a
character whose personality has left
upon a wide circle of the community an
impress deeper and more lasting than
befalls the lot of the average man to
accomplish. -
“Moody” Slocum, as he was more
familiarly know. was a genius, original
and versatile. By the sterling qualities
of his mind and heart he created friend-
ships and retained friends. His cheer-
fulness and buoyancy of spirits were
infections, and one could not be long
in his company without becoming sym-
pathetically imbued with something of
his own good humor.
His original w1t, his happy faculty
for discerning the humorous in every
circumstance and proposition, his inex-
haustible fund Of anecdote and remin-
iscence and his quaint and irresistible
manner of telling a story, insured him
a warm welcome as a companionable
member Of any company.
His acquaintance was wide; his rep-
utation wider, and many of his quaint
sayings—kernels of philosophy em-
balmed in natural wit—~are quoted far
and wide as "Moody’s” proverbs.
His splendid physical proportions
and soldierly bearing stamped him as a
striking personality and his valor and
bravery as a public officer were never
questioned. One writer says of him :
“do was, while in the pursuit of his
duty, indomitable and fearless, and he
never knew what it was to quail, no
matter what the circumstances, ‘when
it was necessary for him to make an ar-
rest. Yet no one was more considerate
of the feelings or failings of others.”
"The same writer says: “He was gener-
ous hearted, and free to give, so far as
he Could, to anyone whom he thought
worthy of his help. and he Often went
out of his way to i... .l little accomodat-
ing act. \Ve know of numerous in-
stances where Mr. Slocum’s practical
generosity in needy cases was greater
than his circumstances warranted.”
His record as a soldier in the regular-
army, as a public ofiiécr and as a citi-
zen. is a most creditable one. He was
a. bright writer and a prolific contribu-
tor to the newspapers, a life-long, con-
.seientious and enthusiastic democrat
and a power in his party.
tie may be worthily succeeded in the
Office Of deputy'sherifi’, and his place in
his party will undoubtedly be filled—
nevertheless VVinsted never had but
one, and, will never have another
“Moody” Slocum. '
