John R. NeedhamView All Years

By unanimous consent Senator Dixon offered the following:

WHEREAS, Hon John R. Needham, a member of this body from the county of Mahaska, a man honored by his fellow citizens by his election to the office of Senator in 1852, Lieutenant–Governor in 1861, and again a Senator in 1867—all of which positions he filled with signal credit to himself, and substantial benefit to the people whom he represented, has been removed by death during his term of service; therfore,

Resolved by the Senate, That it hereby expresses its sense of the public loss—its sorrow at the death of one of its most honored and trusted members—and its sympathy with those more immediately bereaved, by ordering this preamble and resolution to be spread upon the journal, and a copy thereof engrossed and sent to the family of the deceased.
