ment.
The following are the resolutions In
memory of Mr.. Millnan that have been
prepared by the press CLUB committee
appointed for the purpose:
1t is with feelings OF sorrow and regret, too
deep for adequate utterance, that the mem
beers of The press OF Minneanolls think OF the
death OF Wliilam H. Millman, their late
friend and fellow worker.
In giving this formal EXPRESSION 10 the re
gard i'll Will n our friend was held, and in
acknowledging the brotherly love that we
have all felt for him, We feel sure that the
sentiments herein expressed will be endorsed
by a silent prayer and q fervid amen from
the heart of his every acquaintence
William II. Mlllman, was a man whom 1t
was an honor TO know. OF cheerful dis
position until his late bereavement, he full
filled well the duties of life and added to the
genial. sincere, helpfIl and hopeful. He
was an honor TO his profession, and his life
was such as to make him an exemplary citi-
zen and valuable member OF society. His
presence was everywhere welcomed, and
his personal modesty and retiring DISPOSE
ton could not prevent his true merit from
being discovered and properly estimated.
In the death of William ii. Millman the
public has lost a faithful servant. his en-
ployers Woodworking, conscientious and
absolutely reliable employe, and his fellow
workers Il friend and companion whose good
qualities IL would be impossible to Overesu-
mate. The loss that mother sister, and
younger brother sustain no words can ex
press. Their grief speaks only the language
that tears can interpret. The members of
the press can only bow their heads in the
presence of the unwelcome messenger of
death. and assure those whom their friend
most dearly loved that they have the full
sympathy of the entire community in this
hour of universal sorrow.
