 William M. Atwater was a man of simple tastes and quiet disposition, who followed patiently the path which was set before him by his Heavenly Father, serving steadfastly as a private soldier in His army, and as faithfully serving his country in the time of her need.
 He received the respect of all who knew him, and of his life good alone can be said.
 We, the members of the Brooks club of Trinity church desire to place on record our sense of great loss in the leath of Thomas A. Bassett.
 MT. Bassett was a member from it's beginning, and was a chairman of the entertainment committee.
 We fell that the death of MT. Bassett was a loss distinctly felt by all who knew him in this club, in the church and in the city.
 He was one of those rare men who could carry his business to success by hard work, and at the same time keep in touch with his friends in a social way, always appearing light-hearted, cheerful and friendly to all whom he met.
 Although, in the good providence of God, removed from among us in the prime of life, he lived long enough to leave behind him memory of courage, cheerfulness and kindliness of which any man may rejoice. It was resolved to enlarge the execu- tive committee, which was formerly composed of ten members to fifteen. They are as follows:
 Richard F. Lyon, Dr. Horace s. Bas- com, Phelps Montgomery, Arthur w Earle, Professor John c. Schwab, Ed ward o. Gruener, Frederick G. Crabb John Brewster Fitch, Alfred N. Wheel CT, Rev. Charles O. Scoville, Hon. A. Heaton Robertson, George H. Futile, John J. Osborn, Clarence L. Beardsley, David Daggett.
