THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION BY
THE COY ERNOR.

The Governors Thanksgiving
proclamation is as follows:
A Proclamation: BY the Governor.
The President of the United
States, in accordance with custom,
by proclamation. has requested the
people of this nation to observe
Thursday, November 81. as a da,
of festival and thanksgiving &c
God.
West Virginia is now in the forti.
eth year Of its existence as a State.
Born amidst the struggles of a grea,
civil conflict its earlier years gave
little promise of the fruition Of the
marvellous material development,
and growth of these later years.
To. day West Virginia is probably
more largely in the eye of the bust
ness and investing world and is de
veIoping more rapidly than any OF
its sister States.
So far, therefore, as material we'll
being is cause for gratitude and
thanksgiving the people of this State
have much, indeed, for which to be
thankful. Fortunately, our bless.
ings are not TO be measured alone
by our notable material prosperity.
As people we have been protected
during the past year from pestilence
and great disasters. Good health
has been our portion and peace
re,gns throughout our borders.
We have been favored so abundantly
by the Giver of All Good that ouI
hearts should go out to Him in the
spirit OF thanksgiving and praise.
Therefore, / request that upon the
day above mentioned the citizens Of
our Commonwealth meet. in their
respective places of worship and
there give thanks unto Almighty
God for the great blessings which
We, as nation and State, have
enjoyed during the past year; and
may our benovelences to those
about us less fortunate than our
selves attest the sincere gratitude
which comes from the heart.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the State, at the Capt.
tol, on the tenth day of November,
in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and two, and in the forueth
year of the State.

JUDGE BERKSHIRE DEAD.

Hon. Ralph l.azief Berkshire, one
of the most prominent residents of
West Virginia, died at his home in
Morgantown last Friday night, from
diseases incident to old age. He
had been in declining health for
some time past, and his death was

Mr.. Berkshire was one OF the first
three judges of the Supreme Court
of Appeals of West Virginia, and the
presiding judge for part Of the
time. ex-State Senator, and an
eminent practitioner of Morgan
town. He was born in Allegheny
cornty, Maryland, April s, 1916,
and was of Welsh ancestry. His
ancestors had been natives of
Monongalia county and his father
removed to the county shortly after
the judge was born. The latter has
lived continuously in the county
since that time. During his young
er days the family lived near town
and he worked on the farm. Later
he came to town and learned the
trade of carpenter which he followed
for several years after he had gained
his majority.
In 1898 he began to read law in
the Office of Guy X. c. Allen and
was admitted to the bar two years
later. When the war broke out he
was very active in opposition to the
secession movement and drafted the
resolutions which were adopted by
the citizens OF this county as show
ing their stand on the question.
In June 1861 he was elected
judge of the 10Th Judicial district
and was an incumbent of the Office
for two years when he was chosen
as one of the members of the Court
of Appeals of the "restored" state
of West Virginia. In this he drew
the short term and was made presi-
dent of the court. When the state
was formed in 1868 he was elected
again as member of the court and
served until 1866. Later through
appointment to ill the vacancy

William A. Harrison and being elect.

he had several years more on the
bench.
A term Of four years was served
in the state senate by Judge Berk-
shire.
In 1888 he was delegate from
this state to the Chicago convention
and ardently supported Gen. Harri-
son for the nomination. The eight
ballot saw his wishes gratihed.
On the question of the second term
he was equally ardent.
Judge Berkshire was married to
Maria l.. Chadwick, daughter of
James Chadwick Their marriage
occurred in r84a Five children
blessed their union. Three of them
are now living. They are Mrs. !.
c. Wagner, Mary r. and Charles p.
Judge Berkshire was the oldest
member of the Mcnongalia County
bar, where he practiced for 60 years
except while on the Circuit and Su
preme Bench to which he was three
times elected.
The funeral of Judge Berkshire
took place on Monday after noon.
The services were conducted by DR..
M. F. Compton his pastor. The
local bar attended in body. There
was very large concourse of friend
present. The interment was in OAK
