Sketches report the following:
The West Virginia Bar Association
has learned with deep regret and sor-
row nf the death OF TWO OF its most dis
tinguished mem bers and ardent promo
ters, which calls for an expression dif-
fering from the ordinary set phrase Of
grief or customary resolutions Of re-
spect.
Judge Alpheus f. Raymond, who
recently died at his home in Falrmont,
tull Of years and Of honors, surrounded
by his relatives and friends, was a man
who filed up She full measure OF the
stature OF a man and public servant.
| Fourteen eventful years he discharged
with honor TO himself and great benefit
20 the State the duties OF q Judge Of
the Court OF Appeals, portion OF the
time being It's President. He
erected for himself in the volumes
OF reported cases monument more en-
during than brass. His labors are i'm
pressed on our Jurisprudence and will

able supporter, and a wise counsellor as
lawyer, legislator, executive and Judge.
Judge Jacob filed every position with
satisfaction 90 bis people and honor 10
himself His industry was remarkable,
his character above suspicion. He
adorned every position Of trust he
filled snd merited the respect and
encomiums Of bis fellow citizens.
Men and communities are always ssl-
fsh IN their grief. We mourn the loss
We have suffered by the death OF these
two eminent patrons Of our profession.
They were our brethren and friends.
For the still greater benefits we might
have received from the continued SER
vices Of these two eminent and good
men whose death we deplore; for the
loss Of personal partnership which
had become dear 70 Us as our most
treasured possession; for all the heart
ache and woe with which we long "for
the touch OF a vanished hand and the
sound OF a voice that is stul:"
We therefore resolve that this Asso-
