John J. Lytle,
General Secretary.
At a meeting of the Acting Committee, held 10th month, 18th, 1900, the Committee on Memorials for deceased members presented the following, in relation to our late fellow-member, Henry M. Laing.
In Memoriam.
Henry M. Laing, our late esteemed Treasurer, died at Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 1st, 1900, in his 80th year. Funeral ceremonies were held at Friends’ Meeting House, 15th and Race street, Monday, August 13, several members of our Acting Committee attending.
It seems fitting that there should be a minute of record of our esteemed brother, who for nearly 20 years—1873-1892—served the society so honorably and so well, as Treasurer, in the care of its funds, and who had been an active member for many years, beside also being a life member. We revere his memory, as one whom we desire to think of, whose manly disposition and straightforward conscientious dealings led us all to regard most favorably.
Full of years the Lord called him, and we hope to meet him beyond the river of death.
May this note be recorded, and a copy sent to the surviving children by our Secretary.
