Meeting Last Evening―Memorial
Sentiments Adopted on the Death
of Dr. Volney E. Spalding.

An adjourned regular meeting of the Society of Pacific Coast Pioneers was held last evening at their hall on B street. President Storer was n the chair, and a lively interest manifested by the entire assemblage.

After the usual routine of business was gone through with, the special committee, consisting of Alf Doten, James Delavan and Lee McGown, appointed at the last regular meeting, submitted the following:

MEMORIAL SENTIMENTS:

Again his death removed from earthly companionship a member of this society. Thus, one after the other, with ripened years, we pass away, and those who remain commemoratively record and cherish kindly remembrances of those who successively leave for the great unknown eternity, whither so many of our brother pioneers have preceded us.

The members of this society, with deep feelings of pleasure and respect, will always continue to remember Brother Spalding, his many genial and good qualities of mind and heart, and his long-time connection with us amid the episodes of life as a Pacific Coast Pioneer.

Most sincerely do we all, in true pioneer fraternity toward our deceased brother, tender our heartfelt condolence with his widow and surviving relatives in their sad bereavement.

On motion, this report of the committee was unanimously adopted, ordered to be entered upon the records of the society, and a copy to be forwarded to the widow of the deceased.

Adjourned until the next regular meeting.
