in the death OF William Herbert who
departed this life on Thursday, August
goth, 1895. Mr.. Herbert had been a
Trustee of the New Castle Commons
for SO years, during which time he
had given faithful and constant atten-
tion to the duties of his position.
While his natural force continued
unabated and his physical vigor un-
impaired, he was characterized by in
domitable energy and activity, united
with sound judgment and good sense
in every undertaking in which he was
engaged, and he was continually
engaged in affairs either of public or
private interest.
The gradual failing of his powers
and the encroachments of disease
were viewed with concern and lively
sympathy by his fellow townsmen and
friends generally and the following
resolutions express the sense of this
board. M
Resolved, That by the death of Will
liam Herbert this community has lost
an active public spirited citizen whose
animating thotlpht was for the welfare
and improvement OF our city.
Resolved, That as ability and oppor-
tunity offered he was always ready to
assist and counsel those in need of his
services.
Resolved, That this board has lost
the presence and best efforts OF a sensi-
BILE, practical member, which must ever
be seriously felt
Resolved, That while the privacy of
domestic grief should always be re-
spected, We deem it melancholy privi-
lego to extend to his afflicted family
our sincere condolences.
Resolved, That these proceedings be
spread upon the minutes of this board,
and copy be sent to the family of the
deceased, and published in the public
press. John ii. Rodney,
