brother and friend as an expression of
the high esteem in which we held him
in life, the regret we felt at his death,
and the honor in which we hold his
memory, and ask that the same be
spread upon the minutes of this court.

..-. E. L. Mcmillan,
Committee.
Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan then paid a
tribute to the memory Of the late Mr..
Dickey, and his remarks appear here
under:
If the court please, think it is al
ways a more or less trying thing for
the members of the bar to present a
memorial Of this character and on an
occasion of this kind, and perhaps pc
culiarly so in the smaller cities and
villages of the state. We are but few
in number and we come to know each
other better, perhaps, than in larger
cities. We become acquainted with one
another's foibles and little crotchets,
and adjust ourselves to them. We
come to know and like each other bet
ter probably than in larger communi:
ties. We can all testify that Mr.. Dick
ey was peculiarly genial and COM
panionable and lovable man; that he
was always accommodating to the peo-
pie at large and particularly to his
brother attorneys I do not think that
any attorney at this bar can recall of
any instance of any proper request for
accommodation that has ever been re-
fused. do not know of much else that
l can say that has not been said in
this memorial than perhaps to call at
tention to what seems to me a strik-
ing characteristic Of his later days,
and that would be the bravery with
which he met his seeming fate. Some
years ago he was attacked by pecu-
liar maEady, one which would not yield
to the best efforts of medical science
and which medical science was unable
even to diagnose. He did not even
have the poor satisfaction of knowing
what was the matter with him, but he
knew that as the. daysaand months and
years went by it seemed to get more
firm grip on him, and yet there was
never any whimper or any word of
complaint. He stared his fate straight
in the eyes. And he has gone and
taken with him our respect and loving
memory; and I ask the court, if there
are to be no other remarks, that the
court as a mark of respect do stand
adjourned. III.
Judge Parsons. then briefly but
feelingly voiced his sentiments as fol-
lows:
My acquaintance with Mr.. Dickey
was slight, and when I first came to
know him he was even then under the
grip of the nlalady which finally termi-
mated his life. knew him we'll enough
and saw enough of him, however; to
feel a deep sympathy for him and a
strong admiration for the courage with
which he faced the situation. Since his
death, upon talking with those who
knew him well here in the village
where he passed the greater part of
his life, I have learned enough to be
able to say that the court agrees in all
respects with what has been said
touching his life, in the Memorial
which has been presented, and in the
remarks which have been made at this
meeting.
It is ordered that the memorial
which the committee has presented be
spread upon the permanent records Of
this court, and that as a mark Of re-
spect for the memory Of Mr.. Dickey
that this court do now stand adj
journed.
