e. Wooters, Champagne, Ill.
| Sincere Resolutions.
The following are the resolutions
adopted:
Whereas, In the recent death OF
Prof. A. w. Stuart, his family has
suffered a sad and distressing afflic'
ton, the city Of Ottumwa, which he
has most faithfully and efficiently
served as superintendent of it's school
system for thirty-six consecutive years,
has lost man whose influence for
the good of the community has been
greater than words can express, and
this board has lost friend and ad-
wiser whose counsel was wise and
whose suggestions were always
timely.
| We deem it fitting that we here
bear testimony to our appreciation OF
his Christian character. his quiet
dignity, his unfailing courtesy and his
earnest devotion to his calling. The
greater portion of his active life was
spent in the public schools Of Ottum-
wa. His life was unselfish; he was
content to let others gain wealth and
power; the accumulation of wealth did
not enter into his scheme Of life. He
chose rather TO give his life to the
cause of educanons good citizenship.
and the building Of character, and
now as We review his finished work We
can but say that he chose the better
part. His legacy to Ottumwa will not
exist in brick and stone. but will long
endure in the lives and character Of
those who passed under his instruc-
ton.
Therefore, be 1t resolved that while
We humbly submit to the divine will
and acknowledge the authority of God
in all the affairs Of men, we at the
same time exceedingly regret the
death of our beloved friend and CO.
laborer. by which the city has lost a
noble and public spirited citizen, the
schools and the cause Of education a
competent and able leader. the teach
ers a trustworthy friend and adviser
and the youth Of our city devoted
teacher.
Be it further resolved, that these
resolutions be spread upon our records
as a permanent testimonial of the
high esteem in which the deceased was
held, and that copy OF these reso
lutions be sent to the members Of the
bereaved family as token Of our
sympathy and their irreparable loss.
