Arthur St. Clair Smith

Linn County

WHEREAS, It has pleased our all wise but just Providence to remove from our midst by death Hon. A. St. Clair Smith, of Linn county, a member of this House in the Twenty-fifth General Assembly, and call him to a higher and nobler life; therefore, be it

Resolved, That in the death of A. St. Clair Smith, the members of this House feel that they have lost the wise counsel, genial companionship and courteous treatment of a patriot and able legislator, and a gentleman.

Resolved, That in his death the people of this state have lost a brave soldier, an able lawyer and a wise and conservative legislator.

Resolved, That we hereby express our appreciation of his valuable and honorable public services, and one with whom it was ever pleasant and agreeable to meet, who was ever ready to discharge the duties entrusted to his care in a manner becoming the highest character of a pure and noble life, even sacrificing his own health and comfort for the best interests of others, unselfish to a fault, thereby exemplifying an instance of a moral and upright life before God and man.

Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his afflicted family and herewith tender to them our sincere condolence.

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the Journal of this House, and that the Chief Clerk be instructed to send a copy of the same to the afflicted widow and family.
