THE LATE S. y. LEVY, ESQ.
Your committee, appointed at the December
meeting last Of the Board of Public Education,
to prepare and submit resolutions IN reference
TO the death of Captain S. y. LEVY, beg leave to
report as follows:
Captain S. y LEVY, after brief and sudden
Illness departed this life on the 9Th day OF De-
cember last. He had long been, and was at the
time of his death, an esteemed and hOuored
member Of the Board of Public Education. He
was a lawyer by profession, of eminent stand
ing. distinguished for the rectitude of his pro
fessional conduct and the courtesy of his bear
ing. His clients became his personal friends;
he won the esteem of all who knew him, ana
while his health lasted enjoyed large ana
lucrative practice. He was m-n OF decided
literary ability and culture He wrote WITH ele-
gance and facility; his conversation was lnteii-
gent and ornate, and the character OF MS study
and thought impaired to all his actions ptcu-
liar gentlencss and suavity. Distinguished by
these and other excellent traits, he was elected
a member of the Board Of Public Education on
the eighth day of December, 1870 De was
greatly interested in the work OF the Board, ana
devoted himself with alacrity TO the discharge
of every duty. In all matters requiring legal
advice or assistance, his servlc $ were or great
value. He was, during his period OF healtn
always prompt and regular in attendance upon
the meetings of the Board To his associates he
was ever courteous, cOnsderate and KIND, ana
his entire bearing and department tended to
preserve that harmony Of thought and action
so promotive of the comfort, and often the sue
cess, of a public body.
After long and faithful service as a fnenDeF
of the Board his health became seriously i'm
paired and he was unable longer to discharge
the active duties of his position. On May 14th,
1888, he rendered his resignation, but the Board,
recognizing his past service. holding ElS name
and membership in high regard and hoping Tor
his restoration to health, refused unanimously
TO accept the same.
Enjoying the respect and sympathy of every
member his name remained upon the roll. and
was called at every meeting up to the close OF
his life. Be it therefore
Resolved, by the Board Of Public Educdtton;
That in the death of Captain S. Y. LEVY
this Board has lost a valued and esteemed mem.
Der, who during the years of active life aud
health. rendered efficient and valuable service
in the cause of public education in this city and
county
? That by his considerate and kindly deport
ment he endeared himself to his fellow mem
bers. and his demise is felt by each to be per
Sonal loss.
g. That these proceedings be inscribed upon
the minutes of the Board. upon page or pages
specially set apart for that purpose, that an
official copy be sent to the family of the de-
ceased. and that they be published in the papers
of this city. JAS. u. READ,

OBITUARY,

he was, in deed and in truth, worthy repre-
sentative of a manly and chivarous civillza-
ton. Verify it could be said to him as to the
good knight Sir Lancelot. although the stern
est knight that ever put spear TO rest" IN the
performance of duty, thou vert the meekeSt
man and the gentlest that ever ate in han
among ladies'" He treated those advanced IN
years with marked and special Difference, with
a charm and grace of manner that were attrac-
tive indeed He was very tender and consider
ate with little children and quickly won their
confidence and affection. 1t need not be added
that there was nothing weak nor etfemlnate IN
his character. He was one Of the most many
and reS0lute of men, tenacious of purpose, sell
reliant and strong, of high physical and moral
courage.
1t seems strange TO mortal man that man
like this should be taken from world III which
ne was so useful, from loving wife and ms
little boy, from a fond and proud father, from
kindred and friends, from happy home. ne
was still young, he had done much good ana
promised to increase in usefulness as the years
advanced He had much tolye for. II seemed
that he could SO lily be spared. And yet the
"all-knowing one saw fit to call INN hence
The summons was doubtless to higher estate
and 10 a truer and better life than this.
IF it be true, then that the souls of good
men, when enlarged from this corporal prison,
wing their flight into the heavenly mansions
with more or less ease, in proportion 10 thelr
moral attainments, what human spirit can we
suppose to have made its immediate way to the
gods with greater facility than that of ScipioE
This question was asked by a heather who be
lieved in the immortality of the soul ana the
bleSSedneSs of the future estate of the good;
But here a Christian man died, one VINO haq
lived a pure true life, and who had accepted
and trusted him who brought ''lmmortanty 70
life, y and is the resurrection and the HE.
Surely his soul winged its flight to the
heavenly mansions and it is well with him
forever. > B. A.
