The following resolution on the
death of Joseph W. II. Watson, was
adopted:
"In the wise providence of God, our
esteemed fellow-manager, Joseph w.
III. Watson, has been called from our
midst, from labors to rewards. A
charter member of the Ferris Indus
trial School, and always deeply inter-
ested in its welfare, he contributed
largely by his sound judgement and
intelligent labors, to placing the
school upon firm and successful
foundation.
oh common with the community
where his long, useful and public
spirited life made him such an honor
ed citizen, the board of managers feel
they have, in the death of Mr.. Wat
son, sustained heavy loss, but are
grateful that, through the critica!
years of organization, they had the
benefit of his wise and unseltsh CO.
operation.
Resolved. that this minute be
spread upon the records.
