Mr. President—Your committee appointed to prepare and present resolutions commemorative of the life and services to the State of the late Hon. Wm. O. Schmidt, of Scott county, desire to present the following report:
Whereas, Since the close of the Thirty-second General Assembly death has claimed the Hon. William O. Schmidt, of Davenport, Scott county, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Senate of the State of Iowa has learned with profound sorrow and regret of the death of a former member of this body and a distinguished citizen of the State.
Hon. William O. Schmidt was a citizen of the highest ideals, and ever ready with generous purse and kindly hand to advance the welfare of his countrymen and fellows.
As a public servant he was ever faithful to the high trusts reposed in him and at the shrine of duty he was ever a faithful devotee.
In his native city, Davenport, he contributed freely of his time and money to advance every worthy cause for bettering the conditions of the people and substantial evidences of faith in his native city remain as monuments to his judgment and love for the beautiful and the good.
Be it Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the records of the Senate.
J. A. DE ARMAND,
E. P. MCMANUS,
L. B. PARSHALL,
Committee.
Adopted.
