REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
MEMORIALS.
The Committee on Memorials beg
leave to make the following report.
In the course Of events it has hap
pened that death has again entered
the fraternity Of Teachers in this
County and has laid his cold hand
upon two of its members. We as
teachers are first called upon to mourn
the loss Of our fellow teacher Merick
M. Evans. He began teaching while
yet young and had taught but few
years when his untimely death occur
ed. He was young man quiet and
reserved in his manners, nevertheless
he was faithful and persevering in his
profession and gave promise Of great
future usefulness.
