acquaintance of an entirely new genus

DILIGENCE, RELIABILITY AND
EFFICIENCY CHARACTERISTICS
OF GEORGE f. GEYER.

During the "A years that George f.
Geyer lived in South Bend he exem-
plified superbly the high qualities of
lever in mans duty to do useful
things and to achieve benefcient re-
suits. His conception of personal
duty was happily blended with a keen
unier standing OF public obligation.
he realized that by industry and fru-
gality he made it possible to rear an
interesting and justly esteemed fam
lily, in itself helpful and advantageous
to society; hence he came easily and
righttully within the category of the
useful citizen, and thus contributed
nObly TO the advancement. and pros
perity of the city of his adoption.
For 80 years he was secretary of
the South Bend rn-Verein. In this
capacity ne proved himself a model
officer Accuracy was with him an
inviolable law. His records were
models of absolute correctness When
Sec'y Geyer said a matter Of record
was so and so, the members of the
Turn-Verein accepted it as such with
out mental reservation. This in itself
constitutes a splendid tribute TO his
integrity, his trustworthiness, his
veracity. The very fact that he held
this position uninterruptedly for more
than a third of a century. without
even a thought of displacement by
the membership, bears eloquent testi-
mony TO the sterling qualities of
George r. Geyer.
The passing OF such men is a dis
tinctive and irreparable loss TO the
community. While it is mOurned and
lamented as such. il likewise serves as
a comforting reminder of South
Bends good fortune in having had
such an estimable man as a part of
its sturdy citizenship.
