TRIBUTE TO DEAD CITIZEN.
by Directors Of Wash

The board of directors of the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Company, at a meet
ing held March 4, 1908, adopted resolu-
tions wherein sorrow is expressed for the
death of Crosby s. Moves. In the course
Of the resolutions 1t is set forth that ''in
the departure of this pubic-spirited cit
izen we keenly feel the irreparable loss"
Noyes' career was unique and the infiu
ence of his inspiring life will be felt at
the National capital as long as the nation
lives; that he was the best type of the
simple. modest yet forceful and resource
full citizen. who does things for the bet
terment of mankind because he truly
loves mankind: that this vas characteris-
tic, in sunshine and in shadow, of the en-
tire life of Crosby S. Noyes.
Even when death was laid with relent-
less grasp upon our friend, he recog-
nized it's touch, and brayely smiled and
said some generous words and died. And
SO he was in all his life, a man of heart,
of noble deeds and kindly words and
sweet contentment. His life ever taught
from day to day that the greatest men
are the simplest; that it is easier to pass
through this world with cheerful spirit
than with a frown; with thoughtful kind
ness than with selfish purpose: and the
generous deeds he dropped into the sea
of life, as he crossed its waters, have
stirred wavelets of hope and cheer in
myriad hearts, which will move on for
ever helpful and uplifting, in the flood
and ebb of human life.
The resolutions were signed by James
T. Dubois. John X. Carmody, Philip
Hichborn and Abram p. Pardon.
