Permanent LinkRepresentative Andrew Jackson Jewell View All Years
TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE THIRTY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY, EXTRA SESSION:
Report of your committee appointed on the part of the House to draft suitable resolutions on the life, character and public services of the late Honorable Andrew Jackson Jewell, who passed from earth on May 14, 1908:
He was born in Ohio February 14, 1830; was a resident of Iowa fifty-three years, and was a member of the regiment of Union soldiers that became famous in history as the “Squirrel Hunters.”
His occupation was that of an active and successful stock raiser, being extensively engaged in raising fine sheep, and a practical farmer in every way.
As an ardent Republican in politics he was elected and faithfully represented his constituency in the Twenty-third General Assembly of Iowa. As an old pioneer, a successful business man, an agriculturist, a conscientious Legislator and a faithful friend and neighbor he lived an honorable life and died a triumphant death, leaving a wife, two sons and a host of friends to mourn his passing and cherish his memory.
Resolved, That in his death we have lost an honorable, upright and faithful man.
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered in the Journal of the House and that an engrossed copy be furnished the family of the deceased by the Chief Clerk.
