An interesting document,

resident of Smyrna.

script of that period, will be
laminated and preserved In the
files of the company.
The resolution is signed by
Benton v. Weldon, Henry D.

The words of the resolution re-
fleet the period in which they
we're written:
'Whereas, The inscrutable
hand of over-ruling Providence
hath removed from this life on
April 9th, 1889 comrade Thomas
E. Humphreys, an active
member of this company, and
one whose response to the call
of duty was instant and un-
wavering,
Therefore, In full council
assembled, as a mark of re-
spect, be 1t ordered that the uni
form of our late comrade be
draped for thirty days, and
be it resolved, the coincidence
of this company with the in
dividual sympathy of its mem :
bers is hereby extended to the
bereaved family"
Miss Humphreys was at one
time an employe of the Smyrna
Post Office. With the document
she also sent a contribution to
