Your committee appointed to draft
suitable resolutions touching the death
of the late lamented Joseph Sasser,
member of this Board, beg leave to
report and submit the following:
Whereas, Since the last meeting of
this Board, it has pleased an Advise
Providence in his infinite wisdom, to
take from our midst and his field of
usefulness and labor the Hon. Joseph
Sasser, a worthy, working and honor
able member of this Board; and,
Whereas, In the death of the late
Mr.. Sasser this Board has suffered an
almost irreparable loss, the county
useful, good and true citizen, and the
family, loving husband, kind father
and loving friend,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Board of Supervisors of Lincoln coun-
ty, Miss, that the death of the late
lamented Joseph Sasser, member of
this Board for and from District Num-
Der 4, has taken from our number a
faithful public servant whose place
will be hard to fill, the county has lost
useful and worthy citizen, the wife a
loving husband and the children a
kind father.
Resolved further, that we join with
the bereaved family in extending con-
dolence in their sad affection.
Resolved further, that these reso-
lutions be entered on the minutes of
this Court and copy of same be sent
to Mrs. Sasser.
