A very worthy Negro Tom Lee with his boat "Zev" saved thirty-two lives when the steamer U.S. Norman sank about twenty-miles below Memphis May 8, 1925 but he has a finer monument than this-an invisible one-a monument of kindliness, generosity, courage and bigness of heart-his good deeds were scattered everywhere that day and into eternity. This monument erected by the grateful people of Memphis.
