Mr.. Moderator and Fellow Citizens:
| deem this resolution expresses the
proper spirit of appreciation for services
rendered by our lamented fellow citizens
whose mortal remains have recently been
laid to rest In yonder cemetery. For
many years they were prominent in our
municipal affairs and aided US by voice
and vote to solve our problems for the
common veal and with emotions of grati-
tude and pride we recall their unselfish
efforts in behalf of old Lincolnviie, cast
ing aside those petty schemes of ersonal
gain they arose to loftier heights and
conceptions of duty to their fellowmen
and the welfare of our town. May their
devotions to our interests, their earnest
desire for the general welfare be an in
spiratlon to us to emulate their noble
example and enable us to labor for the
prosperity of our town aud the greatest
good of all our citizens. Mr. Moderator,
| second the motion of the gentleman
Parker Young to incorporate those reso
lutons in the town records IN memory of
the gentlemen of whom it may be truly
said-we deeply deplore their loss
