Queen Victoria1
“The announcement just made of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, throws a shadow over the entire civilized world. Genuine grief and heartfelt regret will be experienced by the people of every nation. Her splendid reign, characterized by the highest wisdom and virtue, not alone endeared her to the people of every land, but her beautiful private life made her the subject of emulation for all. The influence of her home life, both as a wife and mother, will ever be felt not only by the present generation but by generations to come. No higher tribute can be paid to the memory of her majesty than by stating that through her influence, human life and human sentiment have been elevated, and all that was pure and noble was exemplified in her every act.”
The St. Paul Globe; “Gov. Van Sant’s Tribute. Expression on the Death of the Queen.”; Jan. 23, 1901; p. 2.
