He -was one of the builders of this institution, and gave his heart 

 and soul to the progress of agriculture in this state, believing, as he 

 did, that it was the foremost industry and the basis upon which our 

 future welfare must rest. As an officer of the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture, he devoted his entire energy to the success and up-building of this 

 great institution. Willison W. Morrow loved his life's work, content with 

 the progress that he had shared in the making of citizenship. His 

 industrious life, coupled with his love for the up-building of this depart- 

 ment, will stand as a monument to his wisdom, and those accomplish- 

 ments we, as officers and members of the State Board of Agriculture, 

 will most graciously inherit. 



Therefore Be It Resolved, That it is with deep regret and profound 

 sorrow that this board is called upon to chronicle the death of Honor- 

 able Willison W. Morrow. 



Resolved, That the State Board of Agriculture extend to his family 

 and the people of the state of Iowa condolence in their bereavement. 



Resolved, That the secretary of this department transmit to the family 

 of the deceased a copy of these resolutions, with the action of this
