The song at the end is ?Star of Columbia? by Harry Bluff, H. De Marsan, Publisher, ... No. 38 Chatham Street, N. Y.
STAR OF COLUMBIA.
Star of Columbia, fair as the morn,
Unsullied by crime, and in Liberty born,
The Giant of Nations, of Freedom and Art:
The Mirror of Nature, the Bold, Honest Heart!
The Arts fly for favor to this happy land,
From Europe?s famed cities to thy fostering hand:
Here find they a favor to aid and to grace,
And are met like a parent, with smiles on thy face.
Here Genius has vent, here the mind's free to roam,
And the soil to the stranger is turned a home;
No longer depressed by fashion?s dull brain,
He lives, and he feels like a Giant again! ]George married Sarah Elizabeth Arbogast on 10 Sep 1867 in Anna Arbogast, Residence, Pocahontas Co., Wv.
