Jennings, a former member of the House of Representatives, on November 5, 1908, at his home in Boone, Iowa, and it is desired to have properly entered on the record a public recognition of his life and service; be it therefore,
Resolved: That in the character of John H. Jennings, a pioneer, a citizen and a law-maker, we find exemplified the highest types of good citizenship and those virtues which are worthy of emulation.
He became a resident of Iowa in 1852 and lived to see the State of Iowa grow and develop, and rounded out his career of four score and four years keeping pace with the growth of the state at all times. A devout Christian, a fearless advocate of what he believed to be right, and withal an honest man, his memory will long be revered by his state, his friends and his neighbors. Be it further
Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions properly engrossed be duly authenticated by the officers of both Houses of the Thirty-third General Assembly, and sent to the members of his family.
