Resolutions of Respect

Proceedings of the Board of Directors Of the
First National Bank of St Clairsville, Ohio, at a
special meeting held March 8, 1898, at their room
in sal bank, the following preamble and resolu-
tons were adopted:
HENRY C. WELDAY is dead. With profound
sorrow We receive this sad announcement He
entered and beca ne connected with this bank at
its organization, on February 2nd, 1864, and con-
tinued as its Cashier and general manager until
February lst, 1879 with signal ability and fidelity
at which date he rendered his resignation a 5
Cashier. He, however, became a Director of the
bank, and remained an active member of that
body until his decease.
ResOlred. That we hear with profound grief and
sorrow OF the death of onr colleague and friend,
Henry c. Welday. His high character as man
for integrity, his ripe judgment in his business
life, make it almost impossible to fill his place;
he was citizen above reproach; a manly man,
adevOut Christian, lover of his fellow men, public
spirited in everything conducive to the public
good, and with broad Christian love and charity
for humanity he has lived his honorable and useful
life, loved and respected by all who knew him,
leaving shining example and guide to those who
survive him. He has laid his spirit at the feet of
the Great Master.
ResOlred, That we tender to his widow and rela-
tives our sincere sympathy in this their great be-
reavement, and that a copy of these proceedings
be entered upon the Records of the Board of
Directors of this bank, and that copy of the same
be furnished TO Mrs. Welday, as an expression of
high regard and heartfelt grief at the loss of
our friend. associate, and loving adviser.
Mr.. Welday was born March 23d, 1923. Died
March 9TH. 1898
