TRIBUTES OF RESPECT
The Trustees and Faculty of Green
woods Schools ADOPT Resolutions
of Respect to the Late DR..
Whitehead.

At meeting of the trustees of the
public schools of Greenwood, held April
10Th, 1905, the following resolutions were
adopted and ordered spread on the min
utes of the Board:
Since our last meeting DIR. N. e. White
hes d, for many years a member of this
Board, and it's President, has passed
awey. In evidence of our regard and
gre appreciation of him as member
| of slais Board and as Christian gentle
mai:
Be it resolved: that we hereby re-
cognize in his death, not only loss to
this Board, but, a loss to the entire
community among whom he lived so
long, and among whom he was so Justly
honored and respected. He was in all
things just, manly and generous, teach
ing by his example the highest type of
the American citizen and Christian gen
tlemen. His life was one from which
the young could and did, draw an in
spiration to reach that ideal of Christ
ian citizenship around which clings the
loftiest hopes and highest aspirations
OF youth. His influence is still with us,
and its benefcient effects will long be
recognized and felt, by those with whom
he came in contact. 1t is not the langu-
age of hyperbole, to say, that in him was
realized all the qualities necessary to
make the ideal man. Tender, smypa-
thetic and courageous, he was at all
times, the same genial and hospitable
man, the like of whom we shall not soon
see again.
Resolved further, that to his bereaved
family we extend our deep sympathy,
with the hope that the "softening hand
OF time will assuage their grief, and
sustain them in this, their darkest hour
Of life.
Resolved further, that copy of these
resolutions be handed to his family and
that copy be given to each of the
newspapers of Greenwood for publica-
ton.
S. r. KEEsLER, President.
S. L. BRISTER, Secretary.
Whereas, an all-wise Providence has
seen fit to take from us the ever ready
counsel and steady guiding hand of our
sincere friend, and Trustee, DR.. N. E.
Whitehead. Be it resolved,
First: That the community has been
bereft of citizen of the purest type.
Second That the School has lost
director, who guarded carefully it's in
terests, AMI was always foremost in
every movement toward it's upbuildings.
Third: That the Faculty mourns deep
ly the loss of beloved FRIEND and wise
counselor; and extends to the bereaved
family heartfelt sympathy, reminding
them that, sorrows like clouds,-the
black when passing over us-when they
are past, are as if they were the gar
ments of God thrown off in purple and
gold along the sky
Fourth: That these resolutions be
published, and copy sent to the fami- |
ly.
