Early Settlers
|
Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers in their
generations. The Lord apportioned to them great glory, his majesty
from the beginning. There were those who ruled in their kingdoms,
and were men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their
understanding, and proclaiming prophecies; leaders of the people in
their deliberations and in understanding of learning for the people,
wise in their words of instruction; those who composed musical tunes,
and set forth verses in writing; rich men furnished with resources,
living peaceably in their habitations-all these were honored in their
generations, and were the glory of their times. There are some of them who have left a name, so that men declare their praise. And there are some who have no memorial, who have perished as though they had not lived; they have become as though they had not been born, and so have their children after them. But these were men of mercy, whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten; their prosperity will remain with their descendants, and their inheritance to their children's children. Their descendants stand by the covenants; their children also for their sake. Their posterity will continue forever, and their glory will not be blotted out. Their bodies were buried in peace, and their name lives to all generations. The Apocrypha, Ecclesiasticus, 44:1-14 (R.S.V.) List of Sanilac's Early Settlers Biographies
