 membership since its first organization, we mourn the loss of a wise coun-

 indulge the hope that his sterling character, his unswervuig devotion to 

 duty and the best interests of the community in which he lived, his wisdom 

 in planning and success in achieving worthy enterprises, may prove a stim- 

 ulating example for imitation to those who come after him, and that the 

 noble heritage of a good name may rest upon his only son, to be perfected 

 with ever increasing lustre to coming generations; 



That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Academy, and 

 that a copy of the same be engrossed and presented to the family.
