Representative Lemuel Rose Bolter View All Years

WHEREAS, On the 29th day of June, 1901, Senator L. R. Bolter of the Thirty-fourth Senatorial district, died at his home at Logan, Iowa, be it

Resolved, That the Senate has learned with regret of the death of Senator Bolter, and that in his death the state has lost an able and high minded legislator, who at all times was a staunch and untiring advocate of the interests of the masses and his follow citizens.

As a lawyer Senator Bolter achieved an eminent position at the bar, and his deep and well founded legal knowledge made him a master of those principles of popular government, which the fathers of the country established, and which were developed by the great mind of Marshall and his associates.

As a legislator, Senator Bolter ever found guidance in the teachings of the great builders of our country, and his public career reflects the life of one, who was so ennobled and enlightened, and who from first to last retained the highest ideals.

He was a fair and honest man in all relations with his associates; his sense of right always permitted and demanded that the position of his political opponents be fairly stated.

We hereby record the recollection and deep impression which our departed associate made in this chamber on the last day of the Twenty-eighth General Assembly, when he bade us and the people of this common wealth whom he loved so well, a touching farewell, anticipating as he probably did that his days were numbered.

Be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread on the records of the Senate, and that the President and Secretary are requested to send an authenticated copy thereof to members of his family.
