HON. JACK MORRISON.
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee appointed to prepare resolutions commemorative of the life, character and public service of Hon. Jack Morrison, beg leave to respectfully submit the following report:
Whereas, The Hon. Jack Morrison, of Hedrick, Keokuk county, Iowa, a former and honored member of this House, has recently departed this life at his home in Hedrick, Iowa, therefore, be it
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to present suitable resolutions commemorating his life and public service to this state.
Whereas, John Morrison was a member of the Twelfth and Thirteenth and Twenty-sixth General Assemblies of the State of Iowa and he had faithfully served his country in the army and had been called to fill many positions in public life, in all of which he had been a faithful public servant and in addition to his public service had been an honored and respected citizen of Iowa, we hereby deplore his death, coming as it did in the fullness of years and at his post of duty. But recognizing that death comes to all of us, we feel that in the death of Hon. John Morrison, his family has lost a good and true husband and father, the community a true and respected citizen, the state a loyal and faithful public servant, and that in the position he was placed he was loyal to his adopted country, faithful to his duties and the whole community could stand and say, “Here is a man.”
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the record of the Thirty-fourth General Assembly of Iowa, a copy furnished the bereaved family and a copy published in the Keokuk County News.
