General Benjamin H. Bristow 



From the Club Minutes of January i6, iSqfj 



The chairman gave expression to the club's sense of loss in the 

 death of the president, and it was voted that an entry be made in the 

 minutes of the meeting, as follows : 



General Bristow was a man who was distinguished in 

 many walks of life. He was an accomplished lawyer, a 

 brave soldier, a statesman pre-eminent for ability and 

 integrity ; he represented true American citizenship in 

 its highest and best sense. 



As a member and officer of the Boone and Crockett 

 Club, General Bristow was devoted to the interests of 

 the organization, and to the wider public interests with 

 which it is concerned. By sentiment, influence and ex- 

 ample he stood for what is highest and most worthy in 

 sportsmanship. His membership in the club, his warm 

 interest in its work, and his devotion as a presiding offi- 

 cer will be cherished in its annals as an abiding honor. 



General Bristow was a singularly pleasant companion, 

 and a most staunch and loyal friend. While it is fitting 

 that the club should make note in its minutes of the loss 

 of a member and officer whose death is deplored, no 

 such formal record can express in any degree the regret 

 and the keen sense of personal loss felt by all its mem- 

 bers who knew him.
