~:
THE Washington Board of Trade for
the first time in it's career of twenty
| three years mourns the loss of it's presi-
dent, and the first one to hold that office
who has died.
president of the Washington Board of
Trade, was essentially of Washington and
identified with it. Born here, January IA,
1865. practically his whole life was spent
here. Educated In our public schools,
at Mr.. Wright's Academy and Princeton,
| liberal course of study fitted him for
his future career.
HE was elected a member of the Wash
ington Board of Trade November =, 1899.
| at the prime of his manhood
He was elected second vice president
November IA, 1908; first vice president
November 10, 1903, and president No
vember Is, 1911. He died August y,
1912.
Passing away at the early age of
forty-four, Thomas Clarence NOyes SO
far as citizenship in the country's capi-
tai affords. was among the prominent
ones of our city, and to human ken had
before him a distinguished career. But
the great leveler cut short this career,
and the grief of city was shown in
the concOurse of friends who thronged
the sacred building at his funeral and
the lavish floral tributes which crowded
chancel and choir with mass of
flowers exceeding anything which the
city had ever before seen at private
obsequies.
But to those who knew him, even
since childhood's days, it is more than
the citizen who has gone. 1t is not
given to all to know those who are
about us, even in the nearness Of our
daily rounds. The glance of the eye
is more than the word of welcome, the
pressure of the hand is more than the
handshake itself.
THE Washington Board of Trade
mourns president dead, but those of
its members who really knew Thomas
Clarence Noyes have lost friend"
