Excerpt from The Veteran Hero: A Funeral Discourse, Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church of the City of Detroit, Michigan, on the 18th of April, 1831, at the Interment of the Remains of the Late Hugh Brady, Brevet Major General of the United States Army

2 Sam. xiv. 14 - For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground which cannot be gathered up again: Neither does God respect persons; yet doth He devise means that His banished be not be expelled from Him.

Another, and a veteran hero has fallen! Death has numbered with his victims, the gallant soldier, the honorable citizen, the lofty-minded patriot. We gather round his mortal remains to deplore our loss. Both in his social relations - as the affectionate father, the warm-hearted friend, the kind and pleasant neighbor, and the generous helper of the needy and distressed; and in his public - as the ornament and pride of our city, the boast and delight of the army, his country's treasure, and a bright jewel in her fame - we have much in this loss to mourn. Tears become us when we approach the tomb, especially when we convey "the mighty man and man of war" to the house appointed for all living.

It was near the cemetery of Bethlehem, where two sorrowing sisters went to weep over the grave of a brother beloved, the blessed Redeemer met them, and, mingling his tears with theirs, preached that memorable discourse, in which He spake words of consolation and of hope to their afflicted hearts. We would follow this divine precedent; and here, assembled to weep by the bier of one so deeply, universally, and justly beloved, would extract from the text a few thoughts appropriate to the scene, and prefatory to a short sketch of his history and character.
