RESOLUTIONS. 



The Vermont Dairymen's Association extends its hearty 

 thanks to the railroads of the State, to the people of BurHngton, 

 and to all others who have aided in making this one of the most 

 successful of the annual meetings of the Association. In par-

 occasion long to be remembered.

 the death of Hon. O. M. Tinkham of Pomfret. As President and 

 Secretary, he long served the Association with devotion and

 death. 



During the year just closed, the Hon. J. O. Sanford of 

 Stamford has passed to his reward. As President of this Asso-

 remembered.

 great loss to the Association, we regret, and desire to express the 

 sincere sympathy of the Association to the surviving families and 

 friends of the deceased.
