political work he bec·ame acquainted with many men of national prominence and was entertained at Washington by President Theodore Roose· velt. In 1903 he was elected to represent the district in the state leg_is· lature. During his term in office he served as chairman of the judiciary committee and was connected with much valuable legislation."

The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. John R. Rex and Rev. Alexander Wimber:y, assisted by the Masonic Order. Interment was made in the Union Cemetery near Guthrie Center.

Thus we chronicle the ending of a beautiful life that is gone from our midst. He established a pioneer home and did much to build up our county and state. During his fifty-five years' experience in law practice he made many acquaintances all over the land, from north to south and from east to west, who deeply appreciated his friendship and judgment. At the time of his death the sun was just sinking in the west, the week had drawn to its close, his book commemorating the Jives and works of prominent citizens of Guthrie county had just been completed and his earthly life ended almost at the close of the year.

Ther~fore, Be It ResoLved by the House of Representatives of the Fortyfifth General Assembly, That in the passing of the Honorable Elbert Wright Weeks the state has lost a valuable citizen, and this House by this resolution tenders its sympathy to the family surviving him; and

Be It Fu,·ther Resolv ed, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the Journal of the House and the Chief Clerk of the House be instructed to have an enrolled copy sent to the family.

HONORABLE THOMAS J. WILSON

Committee.

MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare memorial resolutions commemorating the life, character and public services of the Honorable Thomas J. Wilson, a former member of the General Assembly of Iowa, begs leave to submit the following:

Thomas Jonathan Wilson was born in Washington county, October 23, 1854, and came to Mahaska county in February, 1882, to take up residence on a farm near Eveland, Iowa. He served as township trustee for twelve years, was a member of the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors for a number of years and numerous other county activities. He was elected as a member of the House o:f Representatives in 1914 and served through three sessions of the legislature, the Thirty-sixth, Thirtyseventh and Thirty-eighth, and was returned to the County Board of Supervisors in 1924, serving with distinction until ill health forced him to resign in 1929.

He was actively associated with the highway development progress in his county and assisted in the first graveled highway in the county; he was always interested in the betterment of Mahaska county and the state.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Frances E. Wilson, and two daughters. Funeral services were held at the home on Thursday afternoon, April 4, 1932, and burial was in Forest Abbey, Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of R epresentatives of the Fortyfifth General Assembly, That in the passing of the Honorable Thomas J. Wilson the state has lost an honored and valuable citizen, a man of high ideals in Christian living and useful citizenship.

B e It Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon lhe Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased. ·

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 1555

Whannel and Margaret Brown of Traer; Agnes Galloway and Dalton K. Wilson of Waterloo; Catherine Creswell of Reinbeck; William D. Wilson of Grundy Centet·; J ohn Wilson of San Francisco, California, and Sara Wilson, who lives in Scotland.

Mr. Wilson was a man among the foremost in the development of Mitchell county and was for half a century one of the foremost citizens of the county.

Mr. Wilson was reared in Tama county, near the boyhood home of Billy Sunday, world-famed evangelist. Both were members of the Marshalltown hose team in the early 'SO's and were noted for their speed as runner s. It was always a boast among "Tug's" boyhood fri ends that he could equal the famous Sunday on the running paths. As a matter of fact, it was his athletic ability that first focused public attention on young Wilson when he came to Mitche ll county. Tremendously strong and unusually swift, he was an outstanding figure in the athletic events of his day, and stories of his performances have become traditions.

Mr. Wilw n was always prominent in civic and political affairs. He came to Mitchell county a democrat, and was elected to the office of sheriff on that ticket in 1S90, holding it fo r three terms. Disagreeing with his party on the "free s ilver" issue in 1S96 he became affiliated with the republican party, and r ose high in its councils. F or a long term of years there was none in Mitchell coun ty who wielded so great an influence politically.

Early in the 1900's he served on the city council of Osage, and from 1914 to 191S he represented Mitchell county in the state legislature. This was the Thirty-sixth and Thir ty-seventh General Assemblies.

His business career has embraced a number of projects. Always his main business was that of buying and raising livestock, and he was re· garded as an expert judge of stock. In the 'SO's he operated a meat market, from 1903 to 1907 he was associated with T. M. Atherton, Jr. , in the publication of the Mitchell County Press. F or a number of years he was engaged in the quarrying and sale of stone with the late Dr. M. A. Hansen.

Few men in Mitchell county were as well read as Mr. Wilson. None exceeded him as a student of economics, history and government and his ~nowledge of classic and scientific li terature frequently surprised those mterested in those lines.

Mr. Wilson had been actively engaged in far ming and livestock raising up until the time of his last illness. For years he was a lso engaged in the livestock buying business in this community.

Mr. Wilson passed away on October 12, 1932, at the age of 74 years and 3 months. His death has been keenly felt by all the citizens of Mitchell county.

Th,e-~·efo?·e, B e It Resolved by the Honse of ReJ)?·esentatives of the F o?·ty· fif!h Genenz,l Assem.bly, That in the passing of Hon . Henry Lusk Wilson, this assembly take this occasion to express its appreciation of his char ~cte~ and public services and tender to his surviving wife and children Its smcerc sympathy in their sorrow, and

Be It Fttrther R esolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon
