Andrew B. Wallace 



Death's invasion of this body gives quickened sense of how much 

 Springfield has gained by service through the City Library Association. 

 Andrew B. Wallace, attentive to all the duties of citizenship, gave him- 

 self freely in this relationship. His sympathetic appreciation of the best 

 community interests, his shrewd sense of values, and sound business 

 judgment helped give poise and wise direction to our deliberations and 

 action. 



The Scotch birth and training that kept Mr. Wallace in touch with 

 the people, also equipped him with the sensibility to appreciate the 

 finer phases of life in books and art, of which he was a lover and patron. 

 He had understanding of all the helpful purposes that are taking shape 

 in this institution, and gave generously toward their advancement. 

 The appeal of nature and of fine craftsmanship enriched his life and 

 quickened the fellowship which was so genuine and kindly, and is so 

 sorely missed by all who knew him. 



Adopted by the Board of Directors, January 10, 192 4. 



A. Willard Damon 



In the death of A. Willard Damon, the City Library Association has 

 lost a friend of long standing, who held strong views as to the usefulness 

 of its work and had contributed generously both of his time and money. 

 For the last ten years Mr. Damon served as an Auditor, and in that 

 capacity showed the same fidelity and sense of public obligation that 

 were evidenced in all his activities. As an officer of the Association, he 

 will be missed no less for his genial and kindly presence than for the 

 service, which he rendered so faithfully. 



Adopted by the Board of Directors, January 10, 192 4.
