CHARLES C. CHUBB.
MR. PRESIDENT—Your committee appointed to draft resolutions commemorating the life work and public service of Honorable Charles C. Chubb, begs leave to report the following:
Honorable Charles C. Chubb, who was a member of the Senate in the Twentieth and Twenty-first General Assemblies, died at Algona, May 21, 1911. He was of New England ancestry and was born October 2, 1840, in Waukesha county, Wisconsin. There he was reared and educated and there enlisted in the 3d Wisconsin Infantry, early in the war. He served with the Army of the Potomac and participated at Antietam, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, Chancellorville, and other hard battles in which that army was engaged. When his first term of enlistment expired in 1864 he entered the 20th New York Heavy Artillery, remaining in the service nearly another year. After the war he removed to Kossuth county in this state where he built up a reputation of being an important factor in the promotion and establishment of substantial business and public affairs. He served as county supervisor a year or more, and was elected to this body in 1883, serving one term of four years.
Resolved, That the Senate of Iowa is appreciative of the loss the state and community in which he lived sustained in the death of this enterprising man, one who in his early life gave so much of his years to the cause of union and liberty.
Resolved, That a copy hereof duly engrossed be transmitted to the family of the deceased veteran.
L. E. FRANCIS,
JOHN F. WEBBER,
F. A. HEALD,
Committee.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously by a rising vote.
