 FUNERAL SERVICES. 
 
 
 
 ‘Sunday, July 25th, 1869, being the day appointed 
 for the performance of the burial services over the 
 remains of our beloved fellow-citizen, Jonn A. 
 Rogesuine, Esq., multitudes came to attend the 
 funeral, and look for the last time upon one, whom 
 all respected and honored. The body of the de- 
 | ceased was placed in the south room of the family 
 mansion, being deposited in a casket of solid rose- 
 wood, lined with white satin. Upon the coffin 
 various wreaths of flowers were placed; on the table, 
 near the remains, was a beautiful cross and crown 
 of tube roses. The plate on the inside of the lid 
 bore the following inscription: 
 
 JOHN AUGUSTUS ROEBLING, 
 DIED 
 JuLty 22, 1869, 
 AGED 
 63 Years anp 1 Monts. 
 
 The countenance of the deceased was natural and 
 life-like. It had three things impressively written 
 upon it—uprightness, benevolence, and peace. 
 
 The hour of service appointed was two in the 
 afternoon, but the thousands pressing in to gaze 
 once more upon the familiar features, prevented the 
 commencement of the funeral rites until after three 
 P.M. The Rev. Mr. Gardner offered up a fervent 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 4 
 
 and appropriate prayer in the German language, 
 followed by an address from Rev. John Hall, D.D., 
 after which the procession formed, and consisted of 
 the following clergymen: 
 
 Rev. Mr. Passavant, of Pittsburgh. 
 
 Rev. John Hall, D.D., of Ist Pres. Church, Trenton. 
 
 Rev. G. F. Gardner, of the German Lutheran 
 Church. 
 
 Rev. Albert U. Stanley, of Trinity Epis. Church. 
 
 Rev. John C. Brown, of St. Paul’s Epis. Church. 
 
 The Pall Bearers were— 
 
 Hon. Henry C. Murphy, Col. Julius W. Adams, 
 Hon. Horatio Allen, Hon. Andrew H. Green, 
 Charles Hewitt, Esq., Timothy Abbott, Esq., 
 Samuel K. Wilson, Esq., Alfred S. Livingston, Esq. 
 
 Following the remains were the family and imme- 
 diate relatives in carriages. 
 
 The Mayor and Council of the city of Trenton. 
 
 The Board of Trade of the city of Trenton. 
 
 The workmen from Roebling’s wire mill. 
 
 Several Companies of the Fire Department, and 
 citizens, with many from other cities. The pro- 
 cession, nearly a mile in length, passed through 
 Broad, Greene and State streets to the Mercer 
 Cemetery. Here the solemn and beautiful service 
 for the dead, in the Episcopal Liturgy, was read by 
 the Rev. Albert U. Stanley and the Rev. John C. 
 Brown, and the mortal remains of John A. Roebling 
 were committed to the bosom of mother earth, 
 ‘ashes to ashes, dust to dust,” awaiting the peal of 
 the last trumpet, and the resurrection morn. 
 
 
 
SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND WORKS 
 
 or 
 
 MOLN A: ROEBELING. 
 
 Mr. Joun A. Roesrine, a native of Prussia, born 
 June 12th, 1806, in the city of Mulhausen, in 
 Thuringia. He received the usual academic in- 
 struction, and after a course of study in the Royal 
 Polytechnic School at Berlin, he graduated with the 
 degree of Civil Engineer. It is noteworthy that so 
 early in his career as these college days he began to 
 give study to the question of suspension bridges, and 
 made them the subject of his graduating thesis. His 
 degree from the Royal School required him to serve 
 three years in the service of the State, and these he 
 spent mostly in the superintendence of public works 
 in Westphalia. Shortly after the close of this 
 service, he emigrated, at the age of twenty-five, to 
 this country, and settled in the State of Pennsyl- 
 vania, which his genius was to do much to make 
 prosperous and prominent in manufactures and 
 trade. His home was made near Pittsburgh, where 
 the Monongahela and Alleghany unite to form the 
 Ohio. This region was then almost the frontier of 
 the advancing pepulation of the United States. Mr. 
 Roebling bought a tract of wild lands, and set him- 
 self with much vigor and persistence to reducing 
 
 
 

 
 them to tillable condition, and to building up about 
 him a village of frontiersmen. About this time, the 
 energies of what were until recently the ‘“ Middle 
 States,” were turned to the aim of improving trans- 
 portation by a system of canals and slack water 
 navigation on the rivers. In this work Mr. Roebling 
 first engaged as an engineer in America. His first 
 engagement was on the Beaver river, a tributary of 
 the Ohio; and he was subsequently connected with 
 an enterprise for uniting the Ohio river with Lake 
 Erie, by what was known as the Sandy and Beaver 
 canal, an enterprise which failed before the rising 
 popularity of steam railways. He next entered the 
 employment of the State, loeated a feeder for the 
 Pennsylvania Canal, on the Upper Alleghany, and 
 then was engaged in surveying and locating routes 
 for what is now the Pennsylvania Central route 
 across the Alleghany Mountains, from Harrisburgh 
 to Pittsburgh, the work being commeneed by the 
 State. 
 
 At this point in his career, Mr. Roebling, with a 
 rich experience in the ordinary departments of his 
 profession, and a recognized reputation as an accu- 
 rate, able, and original engineer, made in his occupa- 
 tion in life, which was to mark it decidedly thence- 
 forth, and which brought him more boldly into view 
 in connection with the great growth of intercommu- 
 nication in our conntry than any other single man, 
 | unless it be the discoverer of steam or the inventor 
 j . of its application to land and water transportation. 
 He engaged in the manufacture of iron wire, a 
 business which he has never yet abandoned, and in 
 
 
 
 
 
7 
 
 which he acquired that unequalled knowledge of the 
 # nature, capabilities, and requirements in the use of 
 | wire which has enabled him to revolutionize the 
 } building of bridges. It was twenty-five years ago 
 that Mr. Roebling first applied wire to the support 
 of weights which had been before entrusted only to 
 stone piers or arches; and the boldness with which 
 he made the application is characteristic of the man. 
 The problem before him was to erect a wooden 
 aqueduct for the Pennsylvania canal across the Alle- 
 ghany river, in the period of nine months, including 
 the winter of 1844—45.. Mr. Roebling took the con- 
 tract, as the lowest bidder, and proposed to carry 
 across a wooden trunk to hold the water, supported 
 by a continuous wire cable, seven inches in diameter, 
 on each side. The proposition was unusually 
 ridiculed by the profession, who prophesied that it 
 would only need that the water should be turned 
 into it to effect the instant and disastrous ruin of the 
 ‘structure, Mr. Roebling ‘new differently. Within 
 . the specified time, in spite of the rigors of the winter 
 and the complicated difficulties encountered in the 
 novelty of the machinery by which his cables were 
 made in place, Mr. Roebling completed successfully 
 the task allotted. About the same time, or soon 
 after, Mr. Roebling built the Monongahela bridge 
 across the river of that name at Pittsburgh. It is 
 erected on the piers of a former structure. and con- 
 sists of eight spans of 188 feet each, supported by 
 two four-and-a-half inch cables; a peculiarity of the 
 bridge is the pendulum principle applied to counter- 
 balance adjoining spans under the action of unequal 
 
 
 

 
 8 
 
 loads. The bridge cost $54,000 only, and is still a 
 stable and permanent structure, being more used 
 now than ever before. 
 
 In 1848, three yéars after the construction of the 
 Pittsburgh aqueduct, Mr. Roebling carried on the 
 erection of four similar works on the line of the 
 Delaware and Hudson canal, connecting the great 
 anthracite coal region with the tide waters of the 
 Hudson river. They were as follows: 
 
 Lackawaxen aqueduct—2 spans, 115 feet each, 
 and 27-inch cables. 
 
 Delaware aqueduct—4 spans, 134 feet each, and 
 28-inch cables. 
 
 High Falls aqueduct—l1 span, 134 foot, 8 8% inch 
 cable. 
 
 Neversink aqueduct—1 span, 170 feet, 94 inch 
 cable. 
 
 All are permanent works, and require only the 
 replacement of the wooden portions as they wear 
 out. 
 
 Mr. Roebling, who had now removed his works, 
 and established them and his residence at Trenton; 
 New Jersey, was called on to undertake the first of 
 the series of great bridges with which his name 
 became subsequently so intimately connected. For 
 a long time the need had been felt of bridging the 
 chasm of the Niagara river, to connect the Central 
 Railroad of New York and the Great Western Rail- 
 way of Canada, a purpose that could only be accom- 
 plished by what was at that time a complete novelty 
 —ua railway suspension bridge. In 1851, Mr. Roeb- 
 ling undertook the task, working at it uninterrupt- 
 
 
 
9 
 
 edly for four years, in spite of the fearful Canada 
 cold, until, in March, 1855, the first locomotive and 
 train passed. This remains to this day, so far as we 
 now recall, the only example of its kind—w. e., of a 
 railroad suspension bridge of any magnitude. The 
 bridge has a clear span of 820 feet, and is supported 
 by four wire cables of ten inches in diameter, It 
 has two floors, the upper one for railway tracks, and 
 the lower for ordinary vehicles and foot passengers ; 
 these two rods are connected by struts and diagonal 
 . tension rods, so that the superstructure of the bridge 
 forms, in fact, a continuous hollow girder, stiff 
 enough to support the action of a rolling load, the 
 weight, however, being supported by the cables. 
 
 About the same time, Mr. Roebling undertook a 
 railway suspension bridge across the Kentucky, on 
 the line of the Southern Railroad, leading from 
 Cincinnati to Chattanooga, which, if it had been 
 completed, would have been more important than 
 the Niagara bridge, the Kentucky at this point being 
 wider and deeper than the former river, and re- 
 quiring a clear span of 1224 feet. 
 
 The towers of the bridge were erected, the an- 
 chorages completed, most of the wire and other 
 material was delivered, when the railroad company 
 collapsed. 
 
 Mr. Roebling’s next most important work, and, 
 with the exception of the Alleghany bridge, at Pitts- 
 burgh, his only remaining important work, was the 
 Cincinnati bridge. 
 
 This connects two cities, two States, and was 
 meant, at the time of its inauguration, to make the 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 10 
 
 link between the free and slave territory in the 
 United States. It lies between Cincinnati, on the 
 northern side of the Ohio, and Covington, on the 
 southern side. The idea of its erection originated 
 with a few enterprising men in the smaller town, 
 who raised some $300,000 towards its completion. 
 This was in 1856, and work was commenced and 
 carried to the completion of the towers to the level 
 of the floorway. Then the crash of ’57 gave a 
 check, which was not overcome for five years. In 
 1862, in the gloom and ‘depression of the war, these 
 brave western cities again took up the great task, 
 and carried steadily forward to completion the only - 
 
 public work then performed by private capital in’ | ra 
 
 the Union. In December, 1866, the bridge was 
 opened for foot-passengers, and in January, 1867, 
 for trains and vehicles. 
 The bridge is 1005 feet clear span from the outer 
 edges of the towers, and 1619 feet between the 
 abutinents or anchorages. The floor is 103 feet 
 above low water mark in the centre, and 91 feet at 
 the towers. The roadway is twenty feet wide, and 
 the sidewalks seven feet each. The roadway is 
 traversed lengthwise through its centre by two 
 wrought iron girders, one eighteen inches deep, the 
 other nine inches deep, together making a combined 
 girder of twenty-eight inches in depth. At each 
 side of the roadway is a truss ten feet deep, thus 
 giving great stiffness and strength to the arch itself. | 
 The flooring is suspended by two wire cables 12 1-3 | 
 inches in diameter, which pass over the towers and 
 are anchored firmly in the abutments. This is, in 
 
 
 
Il 
 
 
 
 brief, a description of the construction of the bridge, 
 of which further details would not interest or inform 
 the average reader. Mr. Roebling regarded it as a 
 perfect structure, not only the best yet attained in 
 any country, but erected on a principle which never 
 can be superseded. 
 
 The only bridge of Mr. Roebling’s it remains to 
 refer to is that over the Alleghany, at Pittsburgh, 
 which is suspended on three towers in two spans. 
 
 The last great work on which Mr. Roebling was 
 engaged was the Kast River Bridge, a project more 
 magnificent in its dimensions, and more important 
 in its certain influence on the prosperity of the vast 
 population in and near New York, than anything of 
 the kind ever before undertaken in this country. 
 Mr. Roebling’s plans for this great undertaking 
 exhibit the same boldness in scope, the same solid 
 confidence in the splendid ability that had never 
 failed him, that were shown in the first suspension 
 aqueduct at Pittsburgh, the first railway suspension 
 bridge at Niagara, and the greater undertaking over 
 the Kentucky. It is sufficient to say that his repu- 
 tation, world-wide as it may in all moderation be 
 said to have been, sustained the gigantic project 
 before the people, and carried it to the success which 
 has thus far attended it. It is certain that in the 
 _last ordeal to which the plans were submitted, the 
 inspection of the Government Commissioners—most 
 accomplished and competent, as well as conscientious 
 officers—Mr. Roebling’s name was all-powerful.

 Whereas, the melancholy tidings have reached the members of this 
 Board, that their President, Joun A. Rogesiine, has departed this life 
 _ in consequence of an injury accidentally received while superintend- 
 ing an important work of civil engineering in the city of Brooklyn, 
 they have met together for the purpose of giving expression of their 
 feelings in regard to this most sad event, which has at once deprived 
 a worthy and estimable family of a most excellent and affectionate 
 husband and parent, and a community of a most valuable citizen ;

 DR. HALLS REMARKS. 
 
 
 
 Dr. Hatt spoke in substance as follows: 
 
 This is not the time to speak at large of the char- 
 acter and services of the deceased as a public man. 
 The daily press has already furnished a sketch of 
 his interesting history, from his birth and education 
 in Europe to his career after adopting our country as 
 his home. Of that career the best monuments are 
 found in what his genius and skill accomplished—first 
 in the canals, railways and aqueducts of Pennsyl- 
 vania, and then more conspicuously in the great 
 specialty of his talents, the suspension bridges over 
 the Niagara and the Ohio, and it may well be added, 
 the complete plans for one that is to connect New 
 York with Long Island. These great works tell of 
 the intellectual and practical engineer, and the sci- 
 entific manufacturer of the materials of which his 
 works are constructed. But here, in his home, in 
 this host of sad and many weeping faces, we find 
 the memorials of another and a higher character; 
 one that was built up silently, with no demonstra- 
 tion of what was going on except the good that was 
 done and the example that was set. Here are the 
 
 
 
16 
 
 
 
 witnesses of his integrity, liberality and benevolence. 
 Here are those who were the almoners of his bounty 
 to orphans’ and widows’ institutions, by annual ap- 
 propriations of an amount that of itself secured 
 their efficiency. These bands of workmen—coming 
 not alone, but with their wives and children—testify 
 that they knew him, not only in the workshops or 
 by the pay-roll, but as the friend of their families. 
 Here is the lesson which men of capital and em- 
 ployers are summoned by Providence this day to 
 learn, to admire and to practise. This scene is a 
 touching rebuke, in corroboration of what all true 
 social science teaches, to those who look upon the 
 ‘laboring classes as only so much machinery from 
 which they may obtain as much work with as little 
 cost as possible. 7'hAis man was the friend,:as well 
 as the employer of his people, and they knew they 
 could at any time appeal to him as such. [ am glad 
 to have the opportunity of making these remarks in 
 the hearing of the numerous representatives of the 
 wealth and enterprise of the American metropolis, 
 who have done themselves, as well as their deceased 
 coadjutor, honor in coming to his burial. 
 
 And they, and all of us, have another lesson to lay 
 to heart from this scene; and in presenting it [ am 
 supported by his own authority; for it was his be- 
 lief, and reiterated by him within a few weeks, that 
 the Divine Providence is never superseded by what 
 is commonly called chance, whether in disaster or 
 success. Whatever place circumstances may have 
 in the immediate cause of our friend’s decease, the 
 light in which we are bound to regard it for our own 
 
 
 

 
 
 16 
 
 instruction is this: That lifeless body was but lately 
 the very seat of intelligence, energy and expectation; 
 he was in the act of beginning the greatest work of 
 his life; he was, at the very moment of his fall, 
 searching for the right spot to lay the first stone of 
 the structure that was to crown his honorable ambi- 
 tion, and to reward the immense intellectual appli- 
 cation of years; and just at that moment—at the 
 humble, unobserved point of its beginning, and not 
 at the celebration of its perfection—the trivial inci- 
 ‘dent took place which resulted as we see. “ Man 
 dieth, and wasteth away; yea, man giveth up the 
 ghost, and where is he?” What befel Roebling may 
 befall us. The lesson is not to discourage enterprise, 
 to write folly on our great undertakings, or to con- 
 demn the application of our minds and hands to 
 works that we may not live to complete, but it is to 
 make us feel, as I believe he felt, that we and all our 
 projects, our capacities. our existence, are in the 
 hands of God—God the good, the wise, the merciful, 
 as well as the Omnipotent, and that we are not act- 
 ing according to our true position and best interests, 
 unless we recognize this fact in practice, as well as 
 in theory. We are responsible to Him for our prin- 
 ciples and our conduct, in the daily business of our 
 lives. He has given us His law and gospel, His writ- 
 ten word and Incarnate Son, for our instruction and 
 direction; and it is only as we live in accordance 
 with this fixed system of truth, that we are faithful 
 men, Those who knew Mr. Roebling well, feel as- 
 sured that the reason why, in the midst of prevail- 
 ing corruption of morals in regard to public and pri- 
 
 * 
 
 
 
 
 
 s 
 

 
 
 17 
 
 vate transactions, he held fast his integrity above all 
 suspicion, was not merely that he had what is known 
 as common honesty, but that which is produced by 
 a manly, Christian fear of God. It-is death that at 
 once terminates our work on earth, and carries us to 
 meet its retribution ; and the sudden, violent end of 
 this man’s course, safe, as we trust it was for him, is 
 the admonition to each one of us to be ready for our 
 great account at the most unexpected moment. 
 
 And I should not speak so hopefully, if not con- 
 fidently, of his example in this respect, if I had not 
 the best testimony that, concurrently with the sci- 
 entific and mechanical subjects which occupied his 
 thoughts and studies, it was a habit of his mind to 
 meditate upon the subject of practical religion. That 
 he could, would and did find time for such investiga- 
 tions, is another of the suggestions which the occa- 
 sion brings tous. To all of us here present, whether 
 our occupations be more intellectual or manual, 
 whether we belong to one class or another of the 
 workers in busy, life, the lesson comes home that no 
 amount or kind of employment can excuse us for 
 neglecting the inquiries that pertain to our souls, 
 their duties and salvation. Except that of the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, “there is none other name under 
 heaven given among men, whereby we must be 
 saved.” He is “the way, the truth and the life; no | 
 man cometh unto the Father but by Him;” and He 
 is accessible to every penitent, believing and obedient | 
 one, without the neeessity of any other mediation, 
 whether in the persons of men, or in any organiza- 
 tion of men, whether called priests or church. At 
 
 
 
 

 
 18 
 
 
 
 the cross of this Redeemer—at the throne of this 
 
 Intercessor—each one of us may find all we need, if 
 
 through his Spirit, we bring a broken and a contrite 
 heart, and follow him as our Lord and Teacher, as 
 well as Saviour. 
 
 As a husband, father and friend, this circle of rela- 
 tives await no testimony from strangers; and no 
 words of ours can comfort them now so well as their 
 knowledge of his character, and the remembrance of 
 
 his affection and fidelity. It is but a few weeks* 
 
 since some of us witnessed in this mansion the genial 
 
 position he held in his family, as we were present 
 
 with him at the marriage of a daughter. But pain- 
 ful as is the contrast of the two assemblages, there 
 was a character in ¢hat which gives tenderness to the 
 
 emotions of ¢hzs. It was a strong, fatherly heart 
 
 that was then rejoicing in the happiness of those he 
 most loved—it is such a heart they do now and will 
 everremember. Only let them all honor his memory 
 and example in the way which they know would be 
 most pleasing to him—-by receiving this affliction as 
 a Divine intimation that the first and the last end of 
 being is to have our life hid with Christ in God.

SERMON. 
 
 
 
 PREACHED BY REV. J. C. BROWN, AT ST. PAUL’S CHURCH, 
 SUNDAY, AUGUST 8TH. 
 
 
 
 He being dead yet speaketh.— Hrsrews, xi—4. 
 
 Standing as I do to-day, within sight of the 
 earthly mansion, and surrounded on all sides by 
 those who were intimately acquainted with the 
 worth and virtues of him whose departure from us 
 to the better land is so universally deplored, I feel 
 it both a privilege and a duty to testify before you 
 this day, to the memory of one so greatly beloved, 
 and have chosen the words of the text as eminently 
 suitable to this solemn occasion. 
 
 The text, brethren, is applicable to every member 
 of the human family, when removed from the scenes 
 of earth. Whatever may have been his position in 
 society, high or low, rich or poor, learned or un- 
 learned, gifted by talent or undistinguished from 
 the mass of his fellow men, we know that when the 
 “silver cord is loosed, and the golden bowl broken,” 
 man’s influence for weal or woe still continues, and 
 an effect goes forth, shaping the current of many a 
 future event—“ He being dead yet speaketh.” 
 
 
 
 
 
 : 
 
But the power with which this voice comes to us, 
 varies with the character, the position and the 
 influence, which the departed may have occupied. 
 The lives of some are like the sea anemone, their 
 bodies confined to one spot they pass the day in 
 waiting for the coming and returning tide, that 
 leaves them ever the same. They speak to us of 
 days misspent, opportunities for usefulness neglect- 
 ed. They leave the world no better and perhaps no 
 worse for their having lived upon it. But there are — 
 others who have mapped out for themselves a new 
 path; whose works shall be their monuments for 
 countless generations to come; whose name shall be 
 blessed and held in memory by the widow and the 
 orphan, as well as by the lover of his fellow man, — 
 and the devotee of science. 
 
 Such an event has just happened in our midst. A 
 great and good man has fallen, and it will be long 
 before another shall rise up and. take his place in- 
 this community, or fill the position he occupied in 
 the engineering and scientific world. 
 
 “ He being dead, yet speaketh.” 
 
 Ist, I would notice the industry and application 
 of the departed as worthy of our imitation. Few 
 men rise to positions of eminence by natural gifts 
 alone. Genius itself can never exert continuous 
 power, without study—intense study. What to us 
 seems easy and simple, graceful and beautiful, has 
 been the labored creation of the brain; requiring 
 sleepless nights, weary days and months of toil. 
 You may gaze in admiration at the graceful structure 
 that, seen from Niagara’s brink, seems in the dim 
 
 
 
 
 
2] 
 
 
 
 distance like a fairy bridge suspended on threads of 
 gossamer. But stand upon it, hear the panting of 
 the locomotive above you, and the rumbling of the 
 heavily laden train, and you will, in faint measure, 
 begin to realize the study, labor and toil, by which 
 alone that mighty chasm was bridged over, and 
 made safe as the solid earth. 
 
 You intuitively appreciate the many years of | 
 close application necessary to the developement of. | 
 the mighty plan, and the skill and patient toil 
 required for its completion. But few men have the 
 commanding genius for the inception and successful 
 prosecution of so great a work. 
 
 Such a man was Jolin A. Roebling. His position 
 in his native land gave him all the advantages of an 
 early education of the highest kind. 
 
 His studies as an engineer, while young, laid the 
 basis of his after life of diligence and greatness ; 
 and so, up to the close of life; whether in the wilds 
 of Pennsylvania, in the crowded city, or in the quiet 
 of his home, he was still found active and diligent 
 in business, whether public or private, never at a 
 loss ; in every emergency wisely suggesting counsel 
 and advice. 
 
 There is here a lesson for all, especially the 
 young. You cannot fill a commanding position in 
 the world as a mechanic, engineer, scholar, or 
 statesman, without long, continuous study and 
 application. You have, in the character of him 
 who has gone to his eternal rest, whose fame is 
 world-wide, who had no enemies, and retained all 
 his friends, I say, you have in his character, an 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 illustrious instance of the worKING MAN-—-a man 
 attentive to and diligent in his business, performing 
 his duty, not for selfish gain, nor interest, nor 
 applause, but in order to fulfill his duty and discharge 
 the trusts reposed in him. And hence, he has 
 earned that which is better than sordid wealth, or 
 tinsel honors, or public notoriety. He lives in the 
 respect and affection of every one in this our broad 
 land, who honors honest industry, and appreciates 
 commanding genius. But above all he lives in the 
 hearts of the widow and orphan; and many a tear 
 has been shed by the humble, the sick and afflicted, 
 at the loss of such a friend. Brethren, he is already 
 missed in our community, and the question has 
 more than once been asked, ‘“ Who shall supply his 
 place ?” 
 
 But the second noticeable trait in the character 
 of the deceased, was his patriotism, his loyalty, his 
 true fidelity and love for his adopted country. He 
 was an American citizen, and proud to be called 
 such, In all that concerned the welfare of this 
 great republic he felt a deep interest. True patriot-: 
 ism is a virtue, and ought to be so esteemed by 
 every citizen in the land, whether native or foreign 
 born. Patriotism takes its rise, not in mere love of 
 race, or in bigotry which is blind to faults, and 
 proud of its very blindness; but it originates in a 
 universal love of liberty—which rightly clings to 
 and defends its own honor and best interests, while 
 it wishes peace and prosperity, success and happi- 
 ness to others. Such was the patriotism of our 
 departed friend. He well knew that the welfare of 
 
 eae } 
 
 
 
23° 
 
 
 
 the whole nation is intimately connected with the 
 conduct of each individual in it, and that the spirit 
 of self-regard and of personal responsibility, are 
 bound up with the true spirit of patriotism, and 
 therefore if the latter be wanting, or if it be neg- 
 lected, trifled with, or abused, collectively or indi- 
 vidually, we must suffer from it. It was this true 
 patriotism, and the feeling of individual responsi- 
 bility which led the departed to propose, at the 
 
 beginning of the rebellion, that the amount of 
 $100,000 should be raised to arm and equip volun- 
 teers for the service. No provision had then been 
 made by the State of New Jersey, and as an 
 individual he felt that something must be done. 
 He himself subscribed liberally, and urged others to 
 subscribe of their abundance. The money, however, 
 was not needed, as the State soon after made boun- 
 tiful provision for the service. But so deeply inter- 
 ested was he that he personally visited Washington, 
 and urged upon the Government decided, vigorous 
 measures. Prompt in action, he was always found 
 doing his best for his country in her hour of peril. 
 He knew the value of one country, undivided and 
 united; whose boundaries the Atlantic and Pacific 
 alone can define, now and forever, one and insepar- 
 able. He knew no North nor South, East or West. 
 Yes, “In this he being dead, yet speaketh.” 
 
 But in the next place, J. A. Roebling was 
 especially distinguished for his benevolence—his 
 sympathy for the suffering and afflicted. He was 
 not content with idle wishes, fruitless theories, 
 abortive projects for the well-being of his fellow 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 24 
 
 men. He not only thought but acted. He not 
 only professed good will but rendered service. He 
 felt that all his qualifications, physical, mental, 
 spiritual, circumstantial, were not to be limited to 
 self. but were given for the good of others. For 
 this he labored and for this he lived. 
 
 True goodness of heart will always manifest itself 
 in this abnegation of self. It is the first principle 
 in Christian morals, that no man liveth to himself. 
 
 He whose course on earth affords the grand model 
 of holy living, to all his disciples to the end of time, 
 while on earth was as one that serveth. He tells 
 us in so many words, that he came not to be minis- 
 tered unto but to minister; that is to serve, to wait 
 upon others, for their comfort and salvation. And if 
 we would imitate our Divine Master; if we would 
 live a true life, a life redolent with blessings to 
 others, we must, in this respect, be like our Divine 
 Master. And in this respect, he whose memory is 
 so dear to us all, is a bright example. Like David, 
 “he served his own generation.” The life he lived 
 was a blessing to the men of his own time. He 
 acquired a familiarity with the wants and woes of 
 the men and women around him, and it was his 
 delight to supply and alleviate them. Where there 
 was want he strove to supply it; where there was 
 ignorance, he strove to dispel it; where there was 
 sorrow, he strove to soothe it; where there was 
 suffering, he strove to alleviate it; where there was 
 guilt, he was pitiful and tender, if by any means the 
 wrong doer might be reclaimed. How often in the 
 midst of business matters, or in deep study, was he 
 

 
 25 
 
 interrupted by the calls of charity, those who knew 
 him best alone can say. And yet these frequent 
 calls never disturbed him, never caused him to shut 
 his door against the face of any poor man. His 
 request personally to me was to call upon him at 
 any time, when the needy, sick and especially the 
 soldier required assistance. I need not add that I 
 ever found him ready to listen and to aid. And as 
 in my daily walks I pass some house where his 
 bounty has been bestowed, or think of those whose 
 last hours have been soothed by his benefactions, I 
 cannot but exclaim, ‘“‘ Blessed be the man who pro- 
 videth for the sick and needy ; the Lord shall deliver 
 him in the time of trouble.” On the very day of 
 his funeral] in this place, a soldier of his country and 
 of the Lord Jesus Christ passed to his rest, whose 
 comfort was ministered unto by our departed friend. 
 
 And in this respect his example is worthy of 
 imitation by those possessing wealth. He being 
 dead yet speaketh to the living. And'I ask, Do we 
 possess the lively interest we ought to have in the 
 men and women of our time? Divested as they 
 may be of that enchantment, which to many, hangs 
 about the unknown and the remote, can we yet 
 persistently labor for them? Oh, think how soon 
 the opportunity of helping them will have slipped 
 away from us. Our own generation—how rapidly 
 is it passing away! In a very little while we, as 
 members of it, will have disappeared. The graves 
 are ready for us; every moment is precious; then, 
 every call is worthy of our attention; every fellow 
 creature we know and can influence for good we 
 
 
 

 
 
 26° 
 
 should feel bound to serve to the utmost of our 
 ability. This is our work; here is our sphere. 
 Now, in the fleeting present, is our only time—our 
 fitting opportunity. | 
 But, I notice, in the next place, that in J. A. 
 Roebling the working man had a true friend. I 
 need no labored argument to prove this; the multi- 
 tudes of working men who, for hours poured into 
 the chamber of death, to take one last look at the 
 familiar features of him whom they knew to be 
 their friend, proved this. There were saddened 
 countenances, and flowing tears coursing down the 
 cheeks of men who seldom weep. Capital and labor 
 are struggling for the conquest, chiefly because there 
 is not that co-operation aud hearty sympathy ex- 
 isting between the two. Capital is not the poor 
 man’s enemy, but, rightly used, his best friend. We 
 have a noble illustration of this in the history of the 
 departed. By his genius and commanding intellect 
 he opened up a new and extended field of enterprise 
 and blessing to his fellow man. _ Impassable rivers 
 and mighty chasms are bridged ; employment is given 
 
 to thousands ina new field of industry ; large capital 
 
 has been invested, and employment is given to the 
 working man. We can readily see what a benefit 
 has been conferred by this new branch of industry. 
 Not only have the operatives been well paid, but 
 the means have also been furnished for enlarged 
 gifts to the sick and suffering. I know from a 
 conversation with the deceased a few weeks before 
 his death, how dear to his heart the interests of the 
 
 working men were. His prominent thought then 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 27 
 
 
 
 was: Educate the working man; give his children 
 the best schools in the country; then we shall have 
 intelligent labor, inventive genius, and strikes, the 
 bane of the working man, will be at an end. And 
 in this connéction he was desirous of having reading 
 rooms opened in this city, and doubtless if he had 
 been spared would have provided them. In all my 
 ministrations in this vicinity, I never yet heard a 
 working man say aught against the deceased. No, 
 “none knew him but to love him; none named him 
 but to praise.” 
 
 But I must pass on; and I think it will be no 
 violation of confidence if I mention, as illustrating 
 the religious views of the deceased, the subject 
 matter of a conversation, some weeks after receiving 
 the injury resulting in his death. A deep thinker 
 on all subjects, the deceased had formed high and 
 exalted ideas of the paternal character of God. He 
 saw His guiding power in the winds and waves; in 
 the mighty fields around us; and also recognized 
 God’s hand in the molecular arrangement of the 
 crystal or the movement of the floating atom. He 
 believed in no doctrine of blind chance, but in all 
 events, even the most trying and afflictive, recog- 
 nized a merciful Father’s direction and care. I well 
 remember, when speaking of the injury that it then 
 was thought would confine him to his chamber but 
 for a few weeks, I remarked: “It seems a strange 
 accident, that at the beginning of so great a work 
 you should be laid up for two or three months.” 
 He replied: “ There is no such thing as chance; all 
 is wisely ordered.” I then recalled to mind a con- 
 versation held two or three months before, when 
 
 
 
 SELLE TDR PT TERS PELE ETT BD 
 

 
 28 
 
 the deceased stated that he felt stronger in spirit 
 and soul then, although his body might have passed 
 its prime. “ Yes,” he replied, “this body may be 
 torn limb from limb, but the soul cannot be injured ; 
 it shall live for ever. Matter and spirit are both 
 from God. All the multitude of animal tribes 
 around us, which fill the earth, air and sea, were 
 created out of nothingness by the word of the 
 Almighty ; and so, also, the bodily part of man ; but 
 it was not so with the soul. God breathed into 
 man’s nostrils the breath of life. The body was of 
 His will; the life was of Himself—life of life. Faint 
 images of Himself were stamped like incomplete 
 creations upon the animal world around him— 
 images of reason—likenesses of the living spirit that 
 was in Him. There are lessons to man even in the 
 brute creation around; but in man only have we 
 the immortal, living principle that shall live on for 
 ever and gloriously expand.” Such, in brief, is a 
 very imperfect relation of some of the views of the 
 departed, and these views are theologically correct. 
 As soon as the soul leaves this clay tenement, there 
 bursts upon it a scene of infinite greatness. Through 
 the low portals of the grave it does pass into the life 
 infinite. The limits of time, and the fetters of space, 
 and the temporary clog that keeps us down, are all 
 gone. In that world all is joy and life. In that 
 world there is no ceasing to be; the separate con- 
 sciousness is not swallowed up into universal being 
 as the rain-drop is swallowed up by the ocean. 
 Such thoughts as these filled my mind as I gazed 
 upon the great and good, reposing so peacefully in 
 the coffin. And, more than this, I thought not of 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 29 
 
 the beauty and comeliness of him that was gone: 
 These have faded, oh! how soon. I thought not of 
 his riches: these are left behind; they were used 
 but for the benefit of others. I thought not of his 
 acquirements, of his genius, of his fame. But I 
 thought of what he was in his inner nature, because 
 that is the index of what he is now. For, if here 
 the departed was true, noble, pure, brave, loving 
 and tender, how must each one of these flowers of 
 heaven have expanded in that their truest country ? 
 Yes, for the departed life is over with its toils, and 
 cares, and perplexities; the calm is won—-the infi- 
 nite, unbroken calm. He rests from his labors, and 
 his works do follow him. Such aman as John A. 
 Roebling always leaves works; sometimes openly 
 evident which every eye can read. I refer not now 
 so much to those monuments of his fame, Niagara, 
 Wheeling, Cincinnati, &c., &.; I refer especially to 
 his labors for the good of his fellow men; his efforts 
 to redress evils, maintain truth, establish justice, 
 relieve the oppressed. 
 
 And can such a man have lived in vain? Think 
 you his life has been purposeless? Oh, no, my 
 friends, every high principle of the life of such a 
 man lives, repeats itself again, lays hold upon some 
 other heart, raises up another to tread in his steps. 
 Every work of love that he has wrought is lifted 
 high above our eyes. While the man lives, the 
 imperfections of his nature in some degree dim it ; 
 but it is lifted up when he is taken from us, and a 
 thousand hearts, in the midst of their struggles, are 
 encouraged to persevere, to be loving, true, tender, 
 kind and benevolent. 
 
 
 
 
30 
 
 And this life isin each one before me. There 
 may be differences of position, of intellect, of — 
 ability ; but every one can be true, kind, benevo- 
 lent. God did: not breathe into your neem the 
 breath of life that you might grovel, mole-hke in 
 the dust of the earth, living for self alone; but for 
 higher, holier and nobler purposes. Oh! ye rich 
 men, listen to the whispering voice that rises from 
 the grave ; relieve the distressed, the widow and the 
 orphan; listen to the sorrowful tale of the poor 
 man, and for you shall ascend the prayers of the 
 widow, the outcast, and the oppressed, and your 
 dying moments will have no sad thoughts of oppor- 
 tunities of usefulness neglected, and wealth misspent. 
 
 But time admonishes me that I must close this 
 imperfect tribute of respect to the memory of the 
 great and good. But one thought presents itself on 
 which I will dwell for a moment, and it is this. The 
 time of departure to each one from earth is definitely 
 fixed. It is not an affair of chance. It is not left 
 to the will of men. It is not dependent upon the 
 progress or retardment of disease. It is ordered of 
 God. Doubtless, there is much of truth, then, in the’ 
 statement that “each of us is immortal till his work 
 is done.” Now, this thought may serve to correct 
 an error into which we very commonly fall, with 
 regard to the death of men eminently great or 
 useful. We too often speak of such an event as 
 untimely or as premature; but it can only be so 
 from our point of view—not certainly from God’s. 
 We do not read the secret processes going on in each 
 other’s minds, and, therefore, we often know nothing 
 of the mellowing and ripening for heaven, which is 
 
 
 
 
 
SET EE STS 
 particular measure of work and responsibility has 
 
 
 
 31 
 
 
 
 progressing in the soul. We do not know what 
 
 been devolved upon each, and we are, therefore, 
 incompetent to state when the one has been com- 
 pleted and the other fulfilled. This we know, how- 
 ever, that there is a separate award for each in the 
 future; and we may therefore, rejoice in the belief 
 that God does not take any home till His grace has 
 fully fitted them for their coronation glories and 
 high immortal happiness in His presence. Besides, 
 when we speak of the death of the good as, in any 
 case, premature, we seem to forget that God has 
 other worlds than this, and other spheres of service. 
 May not those who are taken from us so mysterious- 
 ly, apparently before their time, be needed in the 
 court above for employment and offices, whose 
 importance and dignity surpasses all that imagina- 
 
 tion can conceive of? Sure, I am, that wherever 
 
 heaven may be, it has its own arrangement for 
 sacred service and occupation. The soul does not 
 sleep, but goes on expanding in the realms of upper 
 day. 
 
 But I must close. The noble, true, loving and 
 tender spirit has been removed from the scenes of 
 his earthly labor. No monument of towering mar- 
 ble chiselled by the sculptor’s skill is needed to 
 record his memory or his fame. The proud mem- 
 orial of his genius will stretch from the metropolis 
 of our country to her sister city on the adjacent 
 shore. It will rise, stone by stone, step by step, 
 under the loving direction of sons, happy thus to 
 honor their beloved parent. Its every detail 
 already marked out by the deceased and approved |

 by the best scientific men of our country. And 
 when the ‘toilers of the sea,” and the stranger 
 shall inquire, as he gazes on the erial structure, 
 ‘whose the mighty plan that bridged the rapid 
 stream, the name of the departed will be heard. 
 But not only at the entering in of the sea is his 
 name recorded ; it is heard by the mightiest of earth’s 
 cataracts, and Nuiagara’s deep, eternal diapason 
 unites with the AZolian sounds that ever whisper, 
 from the lines and chords of the Suspension bridge 
 as they vibrate to the summer breezes. Our own 
 Delaware, too, has witnesses of his skill, and the 
 great West, the waters of the Ohio, and other 
 streams are spanned by his creative genius. 
 
 But before I close, [ may be permitted to convey, 
 on behalf of those intimately acquainted with the 
 virtues of the deceased, to the bereaved family of 
 the deceased, the expression of our sincerest sym- 
 pathy under the deep affliction. May He who 
 doeth all things well, bring to their relief the conso- 
 lations of religion, and the satisfaction of knowing 
 that, as a friend, citizen, patriot, John A. Roebling 
 lives in the hearts of this whole community. 
 
 The beauties of his domestic hfe remain to his 
 family as sacred recollections. It is not for us there 
 to intrude, or by any attempt to pass them in review, 
 or disturb the melancholy but sweet satisfaction the 
 memory of them must necessarily inspire. It is for 
 us to imitate his virtues, his charity, his kindness, 
 his nobleness of aim in life, so that when we go the 
 way of all the earth, the world may be better for 
 our having lived upon it.
