Resolutions,

1t is with deepest sorrow that we
are called upon to draft resolutions
concerning the death of our dear
friend and beloved member of the
Board of Directors of the Missouri
State Bank. Clark Wix.
For eight years Mr.. Wix was a
loyal, efficient member, always in at
tendance at the meetings when not
hindered by sickness, or other TN
avoidable circumstances. His alb
sence was always much regretted be-
cause his happy smiles and jolly dis
position brought cheer and sunshine
into the assembly room.
WHEREAS, He was kind and
compromising in all business rela-
tons concerning the Bank, and
WHEREAS. The Board of Direc-
tors of the Missouri State Bank has
lost true and efficient member in
the person of Senator Wix, and
WHEREAS, His able and open
hearted counsel is no longer avail
able, and his chair at the council
table still remains vacant, be it
RESOLVED. That in token of the
high esteem in which he was held by
the Board and all other bank officials
and employees, a copy of these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes Of
the Directors meeting following the
adoption of same, and a copy fur
nished each member of the bereaved
family, also published in one or more
papers of the county.
Respectfully submitted.
