now dead was the spirit of liberality that has marked almost every action. None ever applied to
him for help and left unassisted. Frequently he was imposed upon, but he always explained; 'It is
better to be fooled nine times than to turn away one man deserving of assistance.' ... It is as a
philanthropist that he is known and honored as much as the successful man of affairs."(Galveston
