Resolved, That we share in the general sorrow of the community at the 
loss of a useful man and a good citizen. 
Resolved, That we recognized in him one of our most brilliant members, 
and look back with no common pride and satisfaction, not only upon his 
intellectual culture and scholarly taste, but his modesty of demeanor and 
purity of character. 
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his bereaved family, to which 
his loss is irreparable, for it was in the home circle that his virtues were most 
- conspicuous. 
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family, 
which express our appreciation of the deceased as an able scientist, devoted 
husband and father, and of whom it can truly be said, ‘‘ Here is a man.”’
