 his life may be a matter of record with this association ;

 of business integrity and uprightness, worthy of emulation to all others ;

 earth, yet we cannot but regret to part with one of our members so 

 favorably known, respected and loved. 



Be it further resolved. That we tender his sorrowing familv our heart- 

 felt sympathy in this hour of their great affliction and remind them that 

 their surest consolation will be found in the unsullied record of his 

 earnest and faithful life.

 Lumbermen's association and copies transmitted to the family of the 

 deceased and to the lumber press.
