OBITUABY. 



DEATH OF ISBAEL BOIES, ESQ. 



Your committee on obituary would respectfully report that they are in- 

 formed of the death of one member of the ssociation during the past year- 

 Mr. Israel Boies, late of Genoa, 111. ; and would recommend the adoption 

 of the following resolution : 



Resolved^ That this Association have learned with deep regret of the 

 death of Israel Bois, late of Genoa, 111., one of the original members of this 

 Association. Mr. Boise was an enthusiastic student of all questions relating 

 to the breeding and management of dairy stock, and the manufacture of 

 butter and cheese. He was a man of great energy and intelligence, liberal 

 and benevolent in his disposition, especially endearing himself to all those 

 who sought his help and advice, by his earnest and painstaking labor in as- 

 sisting them. He was for many years among the best known dairymen of 

 the West, and did as much as any other man to make known the extraordi- 

 nary capabilities of the West for dairying and to bring its products into 

 prominence. The dairy interest has lost an enthusiastic friend, the farming 

 industry an intelligent advocate, the community a distinguished and hon- 

 orable citizen. We extend sympathetic condolence to the members of his 

 family, and direct the Secretary to make record of this action of the Associa- 

 tion in its annual report by using a page in the proceedings for that purpose.
