day, the 18th day Of December, 1910.
Whereas, we have heard with pro-
found sorrow Of the death of our fell

lost an able, conscientious and most
upright judge;

lost one who won her love and aifec-
ton by his jealous service as Common
wealth's attorney, member OF the Cen
eral Assembly, senator and ludg
And we, the county officials and
members of the bar, feel a keen per-
sonal bereavement in the loss OF dear
friend, a wiz counsellor, and a King

pleasure to look with pride.

tions be spread upon the minutes of
the board of supervisors, and a copy
