The Board of Directors of the First
National Bank OF Paw Paw appointed a
committee To draft resolutions on the
death of Capt. Edmund Smith. Follow
ing is the report of the committee:
Gentlemen of the Board of Directors
of the First National Bank of Paw
Paw, Mich:
Your committee on the death of Ed
mund Smith, late president of said
Bank, who died at his residence in this
village Jan. 2Sth, 1894, respectfully SUBJ
nit the following resolutions:
Resolved, That by the death of its
president the First National Bank has
lost an efficient officer, large stock
holder, and one of its firmest friends
and patrons. He was man of sterling
integrity, indomitable will and large
business capacity. Punctual and sys-
temati i'm his own business, he exacted
the same virtues from his employees or
others with whom he dealt. Commence
ing here in 1912 with little means, he at
once entered vigorously into business
the building up of our village. He was
in fact one of our most successful bust
ness men, growing up with the country.
He was treasurer of this township in 1916
and township clerk in 1S49 and 80. He
was president of this village in 1876 and
president of this Bank for ten years
previous to his death His association
with its directors has always been most
amicable, and the present Board whose
mournful privilege it was to assist in
bearing the remains of their esteemed
president to his final resting place on
the hillside, deeply sympathze with the
bereaved wife, the lifelong companion
of the departed.
