Ing of the association last night:
John F. Stanley came into this
association in the spring of his
manhood, fresh from college years
at Seton Hall. and since those
bright golden days of young prom
Use, when the seeds of his charae-
ter were roofing in the soil of his
early life until the sadness of this
December night, we have been
gathering the fruitful harvest of a
lifetime which has been ardent, de-
voted and faithful in every duty
imposed upon. him by membership
or office in our association
''Time calls our futile pen to write
the last word of sadness now that
the eternal night has fallen. Not
content with the assistance that
he had given to us in the long
struggle for existence which this
association mad in its earlier
years the generosity of his big
heart flowed over in his love for
{ us and abou ten years g he
made us a present of the munif-
cent sum of $1,000 and donated to
this association the mortgage with
which he had been assisting us and
cancelled forever OH recuniary in
debtedness to Aim. Thus relieved,
we approached oGr golden jubilee
celebration OF fifty years activity
with a new heart and fresh with a
vigorous hope. The cancellation Of
his monetary debt left us more
pledged and bound to hin with
8 hoops of steel than ever before.
His intimate encouragement and
energetic assistance never waned
through the incessant calls of many
years, n his passing from among
us is a keen sorrow SO great that
words fail to measure 1t and leave
silent he~artgasps reluctant in their
efforts to realize it.
He was distinguished among the
citizens of Newark. as a model
Catholic gentleman, possessing in
abundance a nobility and integrity
of character which endeared him
to all who were privileged to meet
him. The State has lost one of it's
civic prides and the commercial
world a man of marked ability.
His was a unique and powerful
figure in the life of the city of New
ark, and his death will point to an
example that will be enduring and
: permanent.

sacred to the sweetness of his chiv-
alrous manhood, was radiant with
happiness and his family has -four
