Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to call away our lamented 
colleague in the pride of youth and at the zenith of his professional 
career, and 
Whereas, The Maryland State Veterinary Medical Society keenly 
realizes in his death the loss of one of its most active and useful mem¬

Whereas, Our duty as creatures leads us to bow to the Creator’s 
all wise dispensation, and 
Whereas, It is our duty and privilege to tender our deep commisera¬ 
tion to the afflicted, 
Therefore be it 
Resolved , That the sincere sympathy of this Society be extended to 
the bereaved widow and family, and 
Resolved , That an engrossed copy of these resolutions be tendered 
the widow, that a copy be spread on the minute book and that a copy 
be inserted in a daily paper and the journals of the profession.
