John j. O'Farrell, and
Whereas, We, realizing the great loss
that the family have sustained and the
overwhelming bereavement that has fallen
upon them, and the manifold charms of
person n beauties of character OF him

ing charity OF the departed member OF that
household. Therefore, be 1T
Res olved, That we, the workiDgmen of
this, the greatest mining camp ON earth,
are deeply sensible of the Unreasonable
loss that has befallen us in the death of
Sapt. John j.. O'Farrell; that in his
death our cause has lost a respecting
friend and sympathizer and the camp Of
Butte has had stricken from it's midst one
calculated to shed an honorable lustre
upon it's record, and that mankind is
shorn OF a veritable flower and the mining
profession is deprived OF an ardent devotee.
Resolved, That we tender to the grief
stricken family our deepest sympathy in
this hour OF trial and sorrow, and while
realizing the impotency of mere words of
sympathy to cheer the saddened hearts of
those bereft OF a son and brother, it is still
the only Offering which a devoted, heart
stricken public can bestow. May the God
OF the bereaved and the Father OF Life
cheer and succor that bereaved family and
give them strength to bear up under their
great tribulation.
Resolved, That we beg leave to assure
the family OF our departed friend that they
have our united coincidence and commiser-
alton; and while we are not unmindful OF
the utility OF human sympathy or ability
y IN 0th Uh0 iObU JIG, We O6Slr6 TO as.
sure the relatives OF the deceased that our
hands are willing and our hearts anxious
to do all that human power can accom-
plish to support them in their sorrow, to
console them in their anguish and to as
suage the ~poignancy OF their grief.
Resolved, That as a testimonial OF our
sympathy and commiseration, a copy of
these resolutions be presented to the pa
rents OF the deceased and one to his uncle,
Marcus DAILY, and that they also be printed
in each OF the city newspapers, the daily
liner. daily Inter Mountain and semi
