Representative Samuel Burnquist View All Years

WHEREAS, We have heard with sorrow of the death of Samuel Burnquist, member of the House of Representatives of the Twenty-fifth General Assembly from the Sixty-second District; therefore, be it

Resolved, That in his removal from the scenes of earthly activity the State of Iowa has lost a good citizen, the members of the Twenty-fifth General Assembly have lost a valued associate, and all within the circle of his hearty sympathy have lost a true and loyal friend. Coming to this country as a boy, without money or influence, he exemplified in his honorable and successful career, the possibilities of this land to the earnest and deserving youth.

We tender our sympathy to the bereaved family and commend the virtues which won for him the respect and affection of his neighbors to the emulation of all. Be it further

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread at length upon the Journal of this House and an enrolled copy be furnished the family of the deceased.
