IN MEAoRlAM.
We. the members Of the bar and officers
Of the courts Of Ohio county, feeling deep.
" shocked BY the unlocked for death Of
our friend and companion, C. W. B. Alli-
son, do adopt this testimonial of our re-
gard for our deceased brother, and Of our
sympathy for his family in their sad be-
reavement.
Death brings always a solemn warning,
but it ia when the good, and useful, and
noble, are taken, that'we feel the loss
most keenly. To the world that life is
dear which is spent in faithful labor at
any honest employment; but deater still
is the life spent in labors directly Affect
ing the interests OF the many, and spent
with power in aid Of truth-in aid oil
right against the wrong. 1t is the loss OF
such life We mourn.
Colonel Allison came TO our bar with
ripe experience aud a high reputation
as a lawyer, and was soon recognized by
his brethren "a a man worthy OF the es-
teen in which he was elsewhere held.
He was faithful to his clients and fair TO
the court, and to his opponents. His life
aud example did much 10 elevate and sus:
tain, and nothing 10 lower the dignity OF
the profession. He had just concep.
ton OF public and private duties, and
with full measure OF devotion did we'll
his part. He was pure aud honest in
speech and action. Hc was kind friend,
and TO no one an enemy.
From the qualities OF head and heart
so commercially shown in his profession
al and social relations, we are enabled in
some degree to appreciate the great loss
to his family Of one so kind and exempla-
~, and in that loss we tender them our
sincere sympathy.
Rssolred, That "a a mark Of our respect
for his memory we will attend the funer-
al in body.
Res0lusd, That We request this testimo.
NAL 10 be entered on the records OF our
county and city, and be published in the
newspapers Of the city Of Wheeling; and
Resogusd, Further, that the Secretary Of
this meeting communicate 4 copy TO the
family Of the deceased.
