WASHINGTON, o., Dec. 10th, l870)
WHEREAS, Death has deprived this
Board of one. of its members, by the de-

kan; therefore,
Resol0ed, That we sincerely deplore the
| loss OF our late associate, and that this
| Directory feel that the void created by his
| decease will indeed be difficult to fill. His
sterling worth as citizen, in public as
well as in private life, is worthy of the
highest, noblest emulation. In council
careful, prudent, wise-in resolution un-
swerving, steadfast, firm; never courtinR
applause, but by strictly upright conduct
winning the approval of others; always
aiming to do right, never striving to do
wrong In his departure to the other, bet.
ter world this community loses useful,
highly valued and greatly respected citi-
zen, and our county is deprived of judi
eious, efficient and capable public officer
one whose practical good sense and sound
judgment was conceded and acknowl
edged. But of our Board he is no longer
member: his spirit hath fled to brighter,
purerrealms than ouls--to its home beyond
the skies--where, life's perplexing cares
and engrossng duties laid aside, the weary
soul finds rest We shall cherish him in
memory, and endeavor to emulate his many
virtues.
ReSOlDed That this Board, as a body,
will accompany his earthly remains to the
tomb at 10 o'clock to-day, and that the
bank doors be closed until the funeral OBJ
sequies are concluded "
Resolved, That certified copy of these
resolutions, signed by the members of the
Board, be delivered to the family of the de-
ceased, and that we tender our coincidence
to his family and relatives in this their
hour of afliction. ....-
ResOrled, That these resolutions be pub.
hshed in each of our county newspapers,
and that record thereof be made in the min.
ute book of this Board. +.
