When the father died suddenly, leaving his family on the comparatively new clearing, Thomas, the eldest son, became the manager of the farm. IT WAS THE SELF DENIAL OF HIS MOTHER ELDER BROTHER AND SISTER WHICH MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR JAMES GARFIELD TO RISE WHEN THE FATHER DIED SUDDENLY LEAVING HIS FAMILY ON THE COMPARATIVELY NEW CLEARING THOMAS THE ELDEST SON BECAME THE MANAGER OF THE FARM
ose life had been so great, and whose dying had been so glorious. Then in the cemetery of his native Cleveland, James A. Garfield was laid to rest. The spontaneous affection of his countrymen amply provided for his beloved family; and his martyrdom, it was said, did more than any other event could have done to draw the North and South together. His death was mourned, and the manner of it hated by every section and party alike, and the whole nation, united now in sorrow, bowed in loving tenderness over the grave of one of its greatest children. CHAPTER XX. LOOKING BACK. One of the pleasantest things in the story of Garfield is the devotion of friends and companions, which followed and helped him all his life.
