To the Fraternal Order of Eagles: We, the undersigned, your commit tee, appointed to draw resolutions of respect on the death of Judge A. B. Grace, submit the following:
 Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in His wisdom, love and mercy to take from Our midst Judge A. B. Grace; Whereas, as man, Citizen and judge, he was respected and loved by all, whether rich or poor. high or low. proud or humble; as man he hewed his character that stood like a mighty oak in a great forest unafraid of the winds of criticism and unswayed by the plaudits of the people; as citi- zen he was the exsmplar of all that went to make good citizenship; as 8 judge, he was an eminent jurist; just fair and impartial judge whose court was one of dignity and in keep- ing with the best traditions Of the olden times: justice in his court was ever blind. because no distinction was made between rich and poor, white or black, proud or humble: all receiv- ed what the law decreed as theirs. He Jeff, the position he so long filled in life at high standard of effi- ciency. so much so that long time will elapse before it will be filled with the same degree of satisfaction to the people of this district. He was during his lifetime lover of outdoor sports. His friends were made up of men in every walk of life. On the bench and in the court room he was one man. and on the street among his friends and acquaintances he was, another Standing for all that was noble high and pure in the court, rigid in the enforcement of the laws. yet withal ,ovable man. faithful friend and such citizen that his life just closed should prove an example for others to emulate and thereby profit for themselves the things that go to make up manly man. an up- right citizen. He was not only emil nent as a jurist bu'. he was just, honest judge.
 His pres ance will be missed in this community and district. No words of eulogy from us can add to a life we'll spent He fought the good fight out tc the last and alone. His indom- itable will never gave up. He has written record that will live in the hearts of those who know him hest and those who know him, loved him most It is a record that built up for him in life, that which remains a golden heritage to his good wife and children a good name
 "The moving finger writes; and hay ing writ,
 Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
 Shall lure it back to cancel half a line.
 Nor all your tears wash out a word of it."
 All his loved ones were with him when the unbidden and .unwelcome guest called him to his just reward. ! We mourn his loss as a fraternal body of men. as citizens and as his friends in life. May we not, therc- fore do all in our power to soothe and sustain the bereaved family by the assurance to them Of our genu. inc sympathy and sincere grief at his death. May we profit by the study Of such life.
 Judge Grace was not a member of this fraternal order, but we adopt these resolutions out of respect to his memory as a man. as a citizen and a public official who has served us long and faithfully.
