We do not suppose it is necessary to
make more than aformalannounccmen
of the death of our esteemed co-laborct
and treasurer, Mr.. II. Fl. BoUGHToN.
All assembled here are but too well
aware of the fact. Mr.. BOUGHToN
was not only n fellowcraftsman, but
q true and sincere friend; and when he
went down into the dark waters OF the
River of Death, all experienced that
sorrow which only true friendship can
feel, when deprived of its object. The
enumeration of his virtues at this time
is unnecessary, for all here know him
for what lie was-A MAN, aud take
him for all in all, we ne'er shall look
upon his like again. We would
therefore offer the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, this body has been offici-
cially informed of the demise of its late
fellow member and Treasurer: There
fore be it
Rcso,rcd, That in thedeath of RICH.
ARD II. BoUGHToN this Union has lost =
laborious, self-sacrficing member, aud
an efficient officer. the craft at large
one who always labored for its advance
ment, and the cause generally q wise
and sterling friend. ...s
Resoircd, That these resolutions be
published in all the city papers, the
Kansas City Journal of Commerce, ard
that copy of the same be transmitted
to the paper at the home of his relatives
for publication.
