INNO!! S. COWIISDQIIG. NORTON S. Townsi-:END was born ln England, Christmas Day, 1815, and with his parents came to Ohio in 1830. After some years spent upon a farm he studied medicine and graduated from the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons of New York in 1840. The next year was spent in some of the Medical Colleges and Hospitals of Europe. Returning to Ohio, he practiced medicine and surgery in Lorain County, and in 1878 was elected to the Legislature, and with Col. Morse, of Lake County, secured the repeal of the Black Laws- the opening of the public schools to colored children, and the election of Salmon P. Chase to U. S. Senate. In 1850 he was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Ohio, and the same year was elected to the 32d Congress. In 1853, in the Senate of Ohio, he introduced measures to establish an Institution for the care and training of imbe- ciles, of which institution he was trustee for twenty-one years. During the late war he was Medical Inspector, U. S. A. For eight years a member of the State Board of Agriculture he labored unceasingly for the establishment of the O. A. and M. C., now the O. S. U. He was a member of the first Board of Trustees, and Professor of Agriculture for twenty years. He died at his home on the University grounds july 13, 1895. This warfare is ended. His busy career is closed, and we can sum up his characteristics safely now. Brave, frank, sincere without disguise, unselfish almost to a fault, never touched by the greed of gain, he lived all his life in the open, and could afford to live so. No one was ever in doubt as to the opinions he held or the ground he took on any subject of general interest. He kept his place in the ranks till the end, and when the summons came to join the innumerable throng, he responded like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. 24
