RESOLUTIONS or RESPECT
Passed by the Harwlck Board Of Trade On
John S. Holden.


Resolutions OF respect on the death
OF Hon John s. Holden. who died in
Pasadena, CAL, March 22, 1907.
Adopted by Board OF Trade, Hardwick,
Vt March 20, 1907.
AS we are assembled today, repres.
eutatives Of Hardwick's varied inter.
ests, business and professional, social
aud religious, gathered together for
mutual action by the direct impulse Of
a common and overwhelming sorrow,
we are conscious OF an overpowering
sense OF the magnitude OF the loss
which we have sustained In the passing
over OF our esteemed friend and bene-
factor, John 5. Holden.
We appreciate, perhaps as never be-
fore, that the ten years OF his business
life among us have abounded in good
things for Hardwick and her citizens,
and we realize more fully how largely
the prosperity OF our community has
been dependent upon the operations OF
the institutions OF which he was the
head.
Although II seemed at first we'll nigh
impossible to become rcconciled 10 the
loss OF q friend and citizen, whose
best efforts have ever been heroically
exerted for good, and whose noble ex-
ample OF manly, Straightforward bust.
ness dealing may we'll be emulated by
each OF US, yet we are able TO find con
ISOLATION In the very fact that the grim
messenger has summoned John 3. Hol.
den while he was In the full possession
OF those powers which have been exert
ed with such benehcent results.
In this case, decrepit old age has
been robbed OF the pain OF her intirmI.
ties, while the memory OF his command
log, yet kindly presence, his powerful,
yet gentle spirit, and his forceiul, yet
sound and honest advice, remains to
inspire every weary toiler up the rug.
49, AeNAA0Nf VII "bOst abAAAiAt - ~
scrlbed Success, Who has been for
tunate enough 10 come within the
sphere OF John S. Hplden's influence.
Therefore be IL, Resolved, that while
words OF ours afford small cheer TO
that circle OF loved ones who formed
so large a part OF Mr. Holden's very
aud whose lives we're inter
woven with his In so remarkable q de-
gree, yet we offer these expressions OF
our sentiments from the fulness ofhon-
est hearts, and such sympathy as may
be ours TO give, goes forth 10 the Der.
eayed family 10 full measure.
May that Being who INVESTED our
late associate with so much strength
OF character, wisdom OF purpose, and
energy Of execution. DOW diffuse these
and Mr. Holden's many other talents
and virtues, among those upon whomhis
now falls, and who must take
up his life work where II so suddenly
cgded, Ia full measure, as their needs
may require.

had to travel longer time than that.
