AT the same meeting, the following resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted
WheseGs, 1t has pleased the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe to take from our midst by the
destroying hand of Death, our fellow-soldier,
and true friend, Sergt. j. GAGE RECTOR,
therefore,
ResoLoed, That in the death ofSergt. Rec
tor, we have lost a faithful member of our
Company, and the service of a most devoted
and generous soldier. Words cannot express
our sorrow at his loss. The feelings of our
hearts can be more easily imagined than des-
cribed. In the Company, he was ever ready
to discharge the duties of a true soldier
When duty called him to act, his action were
prompt, and they never failed to elicit the
praise of his commander and the members of
his company.
ReSoJ0ed, That we deeply and sincerely
sympathize with the parents, brother and
sisters of the deceased. That parent has lost
a dutiful end an atfectionate son, that broth
er and those sisters, a kind and loving broth
er. We feel, however, that what is their loss,
is his immortal gain. Though disease has
snatched him from our midst, it is a |consola-
ton to know that he has Joined the armies of
the Skies, where patriots Lice F0reyer. A
true friend and a noble soldier has left us, but
we hope to meet him with that band of pat
riots that inhabit a world where war and
strife shall never be.
ResOIoed, That a copy of the above Reso-
%lutions be publishedin the KenoSha Telegraph
