Resolutions of Respect on the Death
of James H. Neville.
Whereas it has pleased Divine
Providence to remove from our midst
Hon. James H. Neville, judge of the
Circuit Court of this the Second Judi
cial District, and
Whereas in the death of one who
was so prominently identified with the
very best interest, morals and uplift
and safety Of our people and society
in general, this county, the Coast and
the district as a whole has sustained a
severe loss, therefore,
Be it resolved, That in the death Of
James H. Neville the Board Of Super
visors in regular session wishes to go
on record in appreciating the high
and useful services that have been
rendered by this distinguished citizen
and jurist, who, at all time during
his long and useful career in the 81
dietary, first as district attorney fo- a
term of many years, and subsequent
ly and at the time of his death, Judge
of the Circuit Court of this county
and district, was fair and impartial;
eonsifierate at all times, and true to
his trust. No man who has served
the bar has left record such as his
-untarnished, unsullied, and it will
remain, as his memory will, a price
less heritage.
Be it further, Resolved by the
Board of Supervisors of Hancock
County, that the death of Judge
James H. Neville is deeply deplored,
and that expressions of sympathy and
regret be transmitted to his family;
that a copy of these resolutions be
sent to his family; that a copy be
spread on the minutes of this body
and copy appear in the official jour
nal of this county and board.
