LOVE.
Proceedings of the Medical Associa-

ton. |
In our issue of yesterday, we briefly an
nounced the death of DIR. Joseph E. Man. |
love. He died at half past one o'clock |
yesterday morning, and the sad intelligence
was received just as our paper was going to
press. For some days past he had been
steadily sinking under disease, and all
hopes of recovery had been abandoned by
his most intimate friends. But the COM
munity at large were notprepared for such
a shock. Living here from boyhood, his
name was as familiar as household words,
and his friends could be reckoned by the
thousands There was not village or
hamlet in the county where he was not
known. and there was not hill top or
valley for miles adjacent but what was
as familiar to him as the street In front OF
his own home. He was III truth man OF
the people, and in all probability had
more general acquaintance than any resi-
dent of the county.
In former wears DIR. Manlove was a poll
tician of the old Wing school, and at one
time prominent leader of his party in
this county, and in a manner controlled
public sentiment in his entire neighbor-
hood. Although never disposed to neg

ton of 1S47 for Representative from
this county. He consented, received the
nomination, and was elected by large
majority. During his Legislative career
he served with distinction and ability,
and was regarded as one of the most pop
ular men in that branch of the General
Assembly, retiring at the end of the term
with honor to himself and the approval
Of his constituents at large. ~.
DR.. Manlove was one of our oldest and
most highly respected physicians. and oc-
cupied front rank in his profession. At
the last meeting of the State Medical So
ciety, he was honored with the position OF
President of that body, being unanimously
chosen. This distinction conferred by
those who knew him best, shows the es-
TEEN in which he was held by the members
Of his profession. s-a
The last sad offices of respect and af-
lection have been paid to the deceased by
the sorrowing friends who yesterday fol-
lowed his remains to their last resting
place. Sudden and fearfully swift was the
sweep of the dark-winged spirit in sum-
moning him from his earthly home. He
was one justly loved and justly honored,
and his good deeds and virtues viii ever
dwell greenly in the memories of kindred
and friends. He was tenderly affectionate
in the home circle, peculiarly genial in
social companionship, and sterling integ-
rity pre-eminently marked the long years
of useful life. Peace to his ashesl
The Medical Society met yesterday to
pay the last sad tribute of respect to the
memory of the departed. Below is the
action of that body:
PROCEEDINGS STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY.
Tennessee Medical Society met yester~
day morning at DR. W Z Bowlings Office.
On motion DR. Bowling was called to the
Chair, and DR. d Plunkett appointed
Secretary.
The Chair explained the object of the
meeting to be to take such action as may
be deemed appropriate relative to the
death of our late President, DR. Joseph Z
Manlove.
Drs T L Maddin, D Winston and
Thomas Menees were appointed Com
mittee to report suitable resolutions
During the time the Committee had re-
tired, Drs G K Winston, Paul F Eve and
W K Bowling made remarks before the
meeting highly but justly eulogistic of the
deceased.
The Committee returned and submitted
the following:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Divine Provi-
dence to remove from our midst our dearly
beloved friend and professional brother,
DR.. Joseph E. Manlove by the visitation of
death, we wish to pay last tribute of re-
spect to his memory by this public &C.
acknowledgement of his great merit both as
citizen and physician. As citizen he
was man of unblemished integrity, al
ways honored by those with whom he was
associated, and leader in all matters of
public enterprise. He was trusted coun-
sellor among the people ID times of pros
peTity and adversely. AS doctor OF med
icine he occupied front rank in the pro-
fession, recognized by his professional
brethren wherever he came in contact with
them. This fact was illustrated by his
unanimous appointment as President OF
this society at its last annual meeting. In
his professional intercourse he was always
polite and liberal; firm in his support of
honorable medicine, he happily illustrated
in its practice the highest code of profess
sional ethics. In all things he was es-
teemed a model Christian gentleman, with
fine abilities AID great energy of character.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we regard his death as a
public calamity and his loss to the pros
fession as irreparable.
Resolved, That we the State Medical
Society in a body will show our respect
for the honored dead by attending his fu-
neral obsequies at 2 o'clock P. NJ.
Resolved, That we extend TO the family
of the deceased our sincere sympathy and
coincidence in their great bereavement,
Resolved, That the Secretary be ordered
to furnish the family with copy of these
proceedings.
