It was resolved that the Society attend the funeral in a body.
Whereas, Dr. Carl Frederick Burkhardt has this day been stricken by the pitiless hand of death, we, the members of the New Hanover Medical Society, in honor of his memory and as an evidence of our esteem, adopt the following resolutions:
Resolved, That his professional attainments, his cultivated mind, his kind heart, his genial manners, deservedly won for him, who came among us a stranger, our respect and affection.
Resolved, That in his decease we lament a valued member of our profession, a good citizen and a gallant friend.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes; that they be published in the North Carolina Medical Journal, and in the daily press of this city; and that a copy duly attested, be presented to his family with assurance of our sympathy,
Wm. J. Love,
Wm. W. Lane,
Thomas F. Wood.
