Out of respect for the first casualtythat the Greenwich Mills has suffered, the superintendent Henry F.

That his sacrifice may not have been in vain is the hope and consolation that we express to his famiily. Be it further resolved that a gold star be place in a conspicuous post in the shipping departmant in which he was employed”
