MR. PRESIDENT: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable I. G. Chrystal, begs leave to submit the following memorial:
I. G. Chrystal was born in Wapello County, Iowa, on September 27, 1885. Public school work, hotel business and farming were included among his occupations.
He was elected Senator from the forty-eighth Senatorial District of Iowa and served until 1939 during the Forty-fifth, Forty-fifth Extra, Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh General Assemblies of Iowa. He was very active in county politics in the Democratic Party. He was also a Director of the Iowa Savings Bank at Coon Rapids for many years. He made his home on bill farm north of Coon Rapids, although he was retired from active farming.
He died December 25, 1963, at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Carroll, Iowa.
In addition to his widow, Julia, Mr. Chrystal is survived by two sons, John Chrystal of Coon Rapids, Iowa; Tom Chrystal of Scranton, Iowa; and one daughter, Mrs. W. R. Davis, Salt Lake City, Utah. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Dorothy Garst, in 1936, and one daughter, Mary, in 1929.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixtieth General Assembly: That in the passing of I. G. Chrystal the state has lost a valuable, loyal and honored citizen, and by this resolution tenders its sincere sympathy to the members of the family.
Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the Senate and the secretary be directed to send an enrolled copy to the members of his family.
