Resolutions on the Death of
George A. Murrell.
. Adoptod iby tho Board of Direc
tors of tho Wood &. nuaton Bank,
of Marshall, Missouri, Dec 12th,
101L
Tilila Iboard loams with deep re
grottof tho death of Mr. George A.
Murrell, who was elected President
of tho Wood Si Huston Bank In
1890, and -who lias faithfully serv
ed ifcho bank in tills capacity for
twenty-ono years, untU his death
on (December 7, 1911.
Of Kentucky birth, Mr. Murrell
came to Sallno County In 1852. Ho
was thus ono of tho pioneer set
tlers lof this co.unty, and during
practically two generations has
held a leaditur part in the develop
ment -of tho community in which
J Jived; His suberb Judgment, his
powerful intellectual grasp of ibusl
tieM propositions, and Ibis splendid
personal, character, all, fitted him
for leadership among, men. ' With
Integrity above reproach, with a
hih oor of jhftsMM and evasion
i inuo for ,ood Km oeea
tlon to tho living.
Though his school advantages
were limited to tho common school
of ihis day, ho has ever been n stu
dent 6n the great school of obser
vation and experience, acquiring
information of incalculable value
as the years went by. He had a
Christian heart. He loved his fcl
low 'man, anu has through many
deeds of charity exemplified that
'cMing of love for mankind, which
all his intimate friends knew to
have Ibccn n dominant noto' In his
haractcr. He was a friend of
o'lucation and gave substantially of
ill 'means to that cause. When his
health permitted he was always
punctual in his attendance at the
meetings of this board, and his
opinions and counsel were clearly
expressed anu uniformly conser
vative and fair.
He 'died ripe in years nnd In
honors, yet wc feci that his denth
was untimely, and that we have
lost a slnccro personal friend nnd
companion. Wc desire to now
record tho loaa wo feel, nnd to
extend our slnccro sympathy to
h's family.
