sudden untimely and lamented death Of
John L. Chamberlin, for Is years its
faithful and efficient cashier. They wish
especially to record their high respect
for Mr.. Chamberlin as a man, and their
warm attachment to him as an associ-
ate. His fidelity, good sense, and vigil
ance as man of business, his probity
and worth as a gentleman, his unfailing
courtesy and kindness of disposition,
his loyalty and geniality in every rela-
ton in life--as son, brother, friend and
citizen, have endeared him in an I'M
usual degree to all who have enjoyed
intercourse with him, whether in bust
ness, social or domestic relations We
offer to his sorrowing family particular
ly to his aged parents. the assurance of
our deep and heartfelt sympathy, with
| the hope that in this hour Of sore Attic

/ ton may soften in some measure the

We, the members of the Worcester
Clearing House, have heard with feel
! ings of profound grief Of the death Of
our honored associate, John L. Cham
berlin, cashier of the Quinsigamond Ma
tional Bank. For Is years he was q
member of our association, and by his
experience, practical insight and know
ledge of bank administration contribute
ed his full share to its decisions. Taken
from us in the prime of life, the banking
fraternity loses a member of great use
fitness and promise. He was not only
devoted to his profession, but ever mani
tested an enthusiasm in it which all
young men may profitably emulate.
Kind, genial and social in disposition,
courteous and affable in manner, he en-
deared himself to those who knew him
intimately and won the respect of all
with whom he was brought in contact.
To his family, in their bereavement,
we extend our heartfelt sympathy.
Resolved That this expression of our
regard be entered upon the records Of
the Clearing House, and copy thereof
be sent to his afflicted family
Mr. Chamberlin's funeral will be held
at All Saints Church, on Thursday at
ternoon at 2.3O o'clock.
