This Honorable Court having adjourned over for one day upon the 22d inst., as a tribute of respect for John F. Smith, Esq., deceased, late a member of this bar, and his Honor the presiding judge having appointed the undersigned to draft suitable resolutions to be inscribed upon the minutes of this Court as a permanent memorial of the lamented deceased, they respectfully submit the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, the Almighty in his inscrutable providence has removed from our midst our friend and brother John F.

OBITUARY.
Died, at his residence in Grand Coteau, Oct. 11th, 1883, JOHN F. SMITH,
aged 67 years and 5 months.
Scarce ten months have elapsed since we consigned to their last resting place the remains of the loving companion of his old age, ere we are called upon to perform the same sad duty to the worthy subject of this notice.
A few days since he was among us enjoying apparent good health, but death gives short warning.
After a brief illness of ten days, he died a death characteristic of the life he had spent, peaceful and happy, surrounded by his devoted children, kind friends, and solaced by all the comforts of religion.
A loving father, a sincere friend, a true Christian, an honest and upright citizen, he leaves a void difficult to be filled.
A FRIEND.
