On April 12th, 1905, after a long and painful illness the worthy Presi? dent of our bank, Mr. Horace Harby, passed away leaving a void in the community felt by all, especially by the Board of Directors of the Sum? ter Savings Bank, with whom Mr. Harby's intercourse in the past few years had been most intimate and confidential. Each member of the Board feels a personal loss to the association of a manly man of high character, and one who, brilliant in all business transactions, was socially sympa? thetic, kindly and agreeable. Mr. Harby was the President of this bank from its organization, and his high business qualifications are illustrated by . the successful career of this institution. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED. That is the opinion of this Board of Directors the State and County has lost the services of a true and courageous citizen, and this institu? tion has lost a friend. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be in scribed upon pur minutes, and proper? ly engrossed, be forw?rded to the mourning ' family of our deceased friend^ and be published in the local papers.
