      From the "Geneva Courier":
      "William Slosson practiced law several years in New York City, but returned to Geneva before his marriage, and proved a most worthy and valuable citizen. He was a leading representative man in his town; his moral uprightness, and nobility of character made him a true man everywhere and under all circumstances; and it was considered a privilege to know him. He left an example that any one could follow and a name ever to be remembered and revered."
