The board of directors of the Indiana So

was president, met last night and adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas, Charles E Thornton, who has
served as president of this society since
its inception in 1893. departed this life in
the city of Indiana polls on Friday evening,
March I. 1902, therefore be it
Resolved, That we express what is so
deeply felt by US, that in the death of Mr..
Thornton we have suffered a great loss. Il
Is a profound sorrow to US that his life
should be so untimey ended In the prime
of years, with a wealth OF experience, with
q large and increasing circle of friends and
always pure, high-minded and generous in
his acts, his life was wholesome and use
ful to others, and his type of a man, when
known and appreciated as he was, has Il
quiet influence for the better things of life.
He was so absolutely loyal TO the trusts
committed to his charge that even at the
peril of his health he would turn his back
on the suggestion of his friends to not APP
ply himself SO closely to the care of those
interests. His conviction was unchange-
able that those who trusted him would al
ways md him in charge of trust. That
principle was so imbedded in his cOnvic-
tions that only when his physical strength
gave way did he relax his firm adherence
To il. Not only in his stewardship of the
things of this life was he minuteiy faith
full, but he was in all things gentleman
and by whatever test As his associates
under both pleasing and trying circum-
stances, we came to know the purity and
strength of his character, and now, in his
loss we have some realization of his i'm
mediate family and friends, and to them
we extend our deepest sympathy; and be it
further
Resolved, That the board of directors
as body attend the funeral service of our
beloved member"
