Lions Hold Memorial
In Honor Memory
OF Walter B. Laurie

The Lions Club last evening held
q memorial meeting in the private
dining room of the Elmwood in hon
or of the late Walter B. Laurie, who
died in this city last Saturday.
Lorimer Dixon, an intimate friend
Of the deceased, delivered an I'M
pressive address in which he point
ed out the splendid qualities OF the
man who had quietly and unosten-
tacfously won III way into the
hearts Of innumerable friends and
acouaintances in this vicinity.
Mr.. Dixon said that Mr.. Laurie
had been q charter member of the
Lions Club and its first secretary.
That he had always found him to
be a willing worker, ever ready to
serve. He remarked on his quiet
and unassuming manner and OF his
pleasant habit of asking every now
and then If there wasn't something
that could be done for someone. or
some cause. The speaker said that
he believed that Mr.. Laurie had
been the Every personif1cation of
service"
John F. Choate, as guest from
the Rotary Club, then rendered a
beautiful solo entitled There Is NO
Death" by Jeffrey O'Harra. The
words were soul gripping and the
air solemnly majestic. Mr.. Choate's
deep, clear voice seemed peculiarly
in sympathy with the burden 81 the

song, which stirred everyone pres
emit. The singer was accompanied
on the piano by Lorimer Dixon.
The Rev. Leopold H. r. Hass was
then called on as a personal friend
of Mr.. Laurie during his life, to
express his regard for the man who
had been a friend to all. Mr.. Hass
said 1t was not easy to sum UP a
mans life In words. He said first
that Mr.. Laurie was quiet man
and that although at one time he
thought that the big voiced fellow,
the go-getter, was the man who pro-
duced things, who attained results,
he no longer felt this to be true.
Quiet men he believed rendered
more real service than noisy men.
Mr.. Laurie was man who could
always be depended on, man who
would always do things we'll and
quietly.
The second thing that impressed
him deeply was the courage of the
man. He was always brave, ready
and willing to meet the problems
and vicissitudes of life. Ever cheer
full, Notwithstanding the fact that
for many years he suffered pain al
most daily from that deadly disease,
cancer.
Third, he was a man of quality,
hundred percent genuine, who had
no place in his heart for sham, who
was broad enough to love everyone,
regardless of race or creed, and that
he was not only an honor to the
Lions Club but to the entire COM
munity.
The meeting closed with the sing
ing in chorus of beautiful fellow
ship song to the memory of their
dead friend and brother.
