To Hon. j. C, Scott, Judge of the Dis
trict Court, Brazos County, Texas.
Your committee appointed to report
resolutions expressing the sentiments
of the bar of Brazos County, Texas,

Whereas, on December u, 1912,
death came to an honored member of
the bar of Brazos County, Texas, in
the person of Judge A. G. Board, who
was afflicted for many months before
his death, but who bore his affliction
with great patience and fortitude, and
who at all times was ready and will
ing to submit to the ways of an all
wise providence.
Judge Board was a man possessed
OF fine executive ability and learning
His conception and judgment in de-
termining matters that came before
him as a lawyer, judge and executive
officer of the county were of the high
est order. He possessed many friends,
and those who knew him by associa-
ton held him in high esteem, and any
cause he espoused. We, who have
known Judge Board and associated
with him in the most important rela'
lions of life, knew him to be an up
right man, just and honorable as
Judge and practicing lawyer. AS
man he was kind and sympathetic, and
as a husband and father he was affec.
tionate and tender; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death OF Judge
A. G. Board, Brazos County has lost
an honored and useful citizen and the
legal profession an able and capable
lawyer; that as lawyer he was cour-
teous, faithful fair and honorable;
that as a judge he was just and I'M
partial; that as a man he admins
tered every honor and trust imposed
on him with the strictest fidelity.
Resolved, That we deeply sympa-
thize with the bereaved family in their
affliction, and that copy of these
resolutions be furnished to the family
and the press, and that a page in the
minutes of this court be set aside, and
that these resolutions be spread upon
same.
Respectfully submitted.
