RESOLUTIONS UPON THE DEATH OF
HON. cHAs. A. LELAND:
To the Hon. Dan'l H. McMil-
Ian, Judge of the Fifth Judicial
District Court of the Territory of
New Mexico, sitting within and
for the County of Socorro:
Your committee appointed to
draft suitable resolutions upon
the death of Hon. Charles A.
Leland respectfully beg to submit
the following resolutions:
Whereas it has pleased the Su-
preme Judge of the Universe to
remove from the cares and sor-
rows of this life the Hon. Charles
A. Leland, a former Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of
New Mexico and Judge of the
Fifth Judicial District Court,
whose death occurred at his home
in Caldwell, Ohio, on the 18th
day of February, 1901, be it
Resolved, That it was with
feeling of profound sorrow that
the Bar of Socorro County learned
of the death of Judge Leland,
while still in the prime of man
hood at the early age of forty
three years.
During his term of Office Judge
Leland resided in our midst and
the members of the Bar of this
county had perhaps a better op-
portunity than their professional
brethren elsewhere in New Mex
leo of forming a just and appre-
ciative estimate of his character
and ability.
At the time of his resignation
and of his departure for his old
home we passed resolutions ex,
pressive of our appreciation and
admiration of Judge Leland,
both as a man and Judge, which
resolutions are spread upon the
records of this court. We desire
at this time to renew the expires
sions of esteem and affection
contained in those resolutions
with the added expression of oul
deep sorrow that the separation
which at that time might have
proved to be only temporary ha,
been made permanent by the
hand Of death.
In looking backupon the RECORD
of a life that has been thus clos.
ed, there is always some one
prominent characteristic which
impresses itself most profoundly
upon the recollection of hi,
friends and associates; and in re
B viewing the official career o.
Judge Leland it is the careful
painstaking and conscientious
discharge of the arduous duties
of his position during a tim
when his i'll health rendered tn,
discharge of such duties doubl,
arduous that has impressed itsef
most forcibly upon our mind
