PETER HADLEY.
MR. SPEAKER—Your committee appointed to memorialize the life and public services of Peter Hadley, an honored member of this House in the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth assemblies, and who died at his home in Fort Dodge, Iowa, the nineteenth day of July, 1918, beg leave to submit the following report:
Whereas, In view of the loss the state has suffered by the decease of Honorable Peter Hadley of Fort Dodge, Iowa, and the still heavier loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of the Honorable Peter Hadley, the state laments the passing of a valuable and honored citizen who was ever ready to proffer the hand of aid, to give voice in the counsels of his fellows, and to offer sympathy to the needy. That in the long and active residence in Webster County, being identified with its educational, commercial, and political activities, he enjoyed a large acquaintanceship through the county and the state, which he deeply appreciated and profoundly respected.
Resolved, That it is but a just tribute to the memory of the departed, to say that in regretting his removal we mourn for one who was worthy of our respect and regard.
Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best and whose chastisements are meant in mercy.
Resolved, That this heartfelt testimonial of the sympathy and respect of the state and of the sorrow of the home city be forwarded to the family of our departed friend by the chief clerk of the House of Representatives.
