August 8th, 1886. The following set of Resolu- 

 tions, adopted by the Executive Committee at their 

 next meeting after his decease, will best attest the 

 estimation in which he was held and the great loss 

 sustained by the Society through his untimely 

 death : 



Whereas, Death has removed from amongst us, 

 in the midst of a busy career, our lamented asso- 

 ciate and friend, Mr. Edward Hill. 



Whereas, Mr. Hill has been an honored and re- 

 spected member of this Society for upwards of 

 thirty years, holding the position of President, and 

 at the time of his death that of Treasurer. 



Resolved, That by the death of Mr. Hill, this So- 

 ciety loses one of the most earnest workers in behalf 

 of its charity ; one whose influence was wide-spread 

 in the promotion of its object and to whose tireless 

 efforts in its behalf as a worker and contributor to 

 its funds the Society is largely indebted for its abil- 

 ity to cope with distress. 



Resolved, That in our late associate we recognize 

 a man who, by sterling traits of character, has cre- 

 ated for himself a place in our records worthy to be 

 held out as a model to admire and follow. 



Resolved, That this Committee, as a mark of re- 

 spect to the memory of our late friend, attend the 

 funeral in a body.
