during his life and members told Of
his work in cooperation with the club
in matters Of education, civic i'm.
provement, literature, health and pub
lie welfare. A number of citizens

widow, who told of his home life and
his tender affection and kind consid-

Of a public library building as a mem
orfal to Mr.. Tiff was discussed at
this meeting and it is very probable
that an effort to erect a memorial to
him will take this direction.
