early life and of his various literary labors, and of his in- 

 terest in the establishment of the State Normal School 

 in Salem. 



Gen. HENRY K. OLIVER of Salem made some very 

 appropriate remarks on the death of Mr. Upham, and in 

 conclusion offered the following resolutions for the con- 

 sideration of the meeting. 



Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Ruler of events 

 to remove by death our honored and venerated associate 

 and fellow citizen, CHARLES WENT WORTH UPHAM, long 

 connected with the Essex Institute, and for half a cen- 

 tury identified with this community in many relations : 



Resolved, That the members of the Institute, deeply 

 feeling the irreparable loss it has sustained, enroll his 

 name with unfeigned grief among the most eminent of its 

 past associates. 



Resolved, That while we mourn the loss of so valued a 

 member of our society, and so justly esteemed a citizen, 

 our sorrow is tempered as we look back upon a life, so 

 true to all the purposes of life, and read the record of 

 the varied virtues and singular excellencies, which char- 

 acterized the whole career of our departed associate. 



Resolved, That in his career as a faithful and earnest 

 minister of the Gospel, in his zealous labors as a citizen 

 for the best interests of our community, as a patriotic 

 officer in state and nation, as a successful laborer in the 

 fields of literature, biography and history, he has for 

 himself fully won the highest reputation, and conferred 

 increased distinction upon our ancient municipality. 



Resolved, ,That as we review the long and inspiring 

 catalogue of the great and good men, who from its earli- 

 est days have adorned and illustrated our historic city, 

 our just pride receives a new impulse, in adding to the 

 honored roll the name of one so fully entitled to receive 

 reverent admiration and honor, among % the most highly 

 honored and revered.
