Dr: S. A. Morgan, President, was in the chair. 
The Association’s recent loss by the death of Dr. Mac- 
donald and B. EK. Charlton, Past Presidents, was brought 
before the attention of the members by H. B. Witton, a Past 
President, who referred to them as two of the most estimable 
members of the organization. He said there should be a 
record on the minutes of the profound grief and heartfelt 
sorrow of the members at their passing away, and the record 
should express appreciation of the services of the doctor and 
Mr. Charlton to the society, also sympathy for the bereaved 
friends. Mr. Witton paid an eloquent tribute to the worth of 
the two departed members, and his feelings almost overcame 
him while speaking. He linked their names with those of 
Judge Logie, Prof. Wright, and other deceased members of 
the Association whose connection with it had been of great 
benefit. 
Mr. Witton moved the following resolution, seconded by 
George Black: That the Hamilton Association deplores the 
loss sustained in the death of Dr. J. D. Macdonald and B. E. 
Charlton, and gratefully records its appreciation of their tireless 
efforts to promote the principles of the Hamilton Scientific 
Association, and the officers and members desire the Secretary 
to respectfully tender the bereaved families their profound 
sympathy. 
Dr. Morgan, in a few words, supplemented the remarks 
of Mr. Witton on the loss to the society, and the resolution 
was carried.
