of our personal friend and former

city, and desiring to express our in
dividual and united appreciation Of
our departed friend as an employer,
as a man and as personal friend,
we do hereby unanimously subscribe
the following resolutions, to-wit:
Be it resolved. that during the life
of Fred j. Bullock as foreman and
superintendent of the firm Of John
Morrell &, Co., Ltd, Of Ottumwa, we
recognized in him those fraternal
qualities Of gentlemanly manhood, pa
thence and justice so often absent in
one long in authority; that we have
felt, do feel and will feel his absence
from the packing house and in our
midst as we would the long separa-
tion from brother, and that we have
suffered with him, in sympathy, In
his last illness and its attendant pain.
Be it further
Resolved, that we commend the life
of Mr.. Bullock as foreman and
friend to all men especially the pack
ing house men, and that we extend to
his sorrowing family our mute SYM
pathy, knowing that the great Father,
only, can assuage the anguish of their
bereavement and praying that in it's
place and in due time, He will leave,
only the cherished memory of their
absent husband and father.

scream and rushed to the barn only
