Excerpt from Springfield Present and Prospective: The City of Homes, the Sources of Its Charms, Its Advantages, Achievements and Possibilities, Portrayed in Word and Picture
If hereafter some newly adopted citizen shall ask "What did this man that he be so firmly held in the remembrance and love of this people?" let the answer be: "Not because he founded that hospital or endowed that library or built that great factory, but because he loved his fellow men, and by his courtesy sweetened the daily life of our streets; by his unselfish service to others, hightened our ideal of beneficence, becoming the trusted adviser of the widow and the orphan, the staff upon which the sick leaned and were upheld, especially the invalid and wounded solders returning from the battlefields and the Civil and Spanish-American Wars. The youth struggling for an education found in him a practical and sympathetic friend. Henry S. Lee, by his honor and perfect integrity, kept alive in many minds confidence in human virtue and faith in God. All this and more he did without seeming to know it. This is why we honor him and keep his memory green."
