May it please your Honor-I am instruc
ted by the members Of this Bar, to announce
the decease Of the Hon. Samuel w. Bos-
twick, late Judge Of this honorable Court,
and for many years a highly respectable
member of the Bar of the several Courts in
Ohio. He departed this life on the morn
ing of the 9th inst, peacefully and calmly
in the presence Of his family. and in the
quiet scclusion ofhis home. He was resi-
dent of this county, and practitioner or
Judge in its Courts for near half century.
He largely enjoyed the confidence and re-
pect Of his fellow citizens, and was trequen-
tly by their suffragas elected to honorable
and responsible trusts. | knew him in my
childhood, in my youth, and in my mars
hood. For years he was my immediate
nighbor, and it gives me pleasure to say
that he was gifted largely with the qualities
and virtues Of intellect and heart, which
ennohlc aud adorn human character. In
the fell maturity of his life, having filled
the measure of days usually allotted to our
common humanity, he has passed away, we
trust, to better life, rcr hiding us ALL
by his sudden demise, what shadows we
pursue.
1t only remains for re, may it please
your Honor, on behalf of this Bar and as
the expression of their respect for the de-
ceased, to present these resolutions, by them
unanimously adopted. to respectfully ask
that they be read by the Clerk. and that by
your order they be entered upon the Jour
nal of this honorable Court.
