HON. STURGIS WILLIAMS.
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee appointed to draft resolutions in memory of the life and public services of the Honorable Sturgis Williams of Fremont County, Iowa, beg leave to submit the following report:
The Honorable Sturgis Williams, a member of the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth General Assembly from Fremont County, departed this life January 18, 1905, at Sidney, Iowa. He was born in New York June 1, 1837. He came to Fremont county in 1856. He served four years in the Civil War as a member of the Fourth Iowa Infantry. He was with Grant at Vicksburg and followed Sherman in his March to the Sea.
Resolved, That in his death the community in which he lived as well as the State at large has lost an estimable citizen, one whose life was above reproach and whose character was beyond the control of contaminating influences. The church has lost a faithful worker and his family a kind and loving parent. The purity of his life was known and recognized in military as well as in civil life.
That these resolutions be printed in the Journal and a copy be sent to his family.
F. M. LAIRD,
WM. COBB,
JOHN S. STANBERRY,
Committee.
Adopted Feb. 7, 1906.
