Resolutions.

Whereas, God's Messenger has borne from our midst our beloved brother Clarence Anderson; and,

Whereas, we may not henceforth know the edifying effect of his person, yet may feel the influence of a life lived for God and humanity; therefore be it

Resolved, That by his decease the church has, lost one who has been an
inspiration that has helped mankind and glorified his Creator; further

Resolved, That the Sunday school of which he was superintendent for years has lost one who, many though absent in body, yet lives in the memory of teachers and pupils whom he taught with a most Christ like spirit; further

Resolved, That the community has lost a man in whom was found such traits of character for honesty and good report as make us keenly feel his vacancy; further

Resolved, That his family have sustained the loss of a father, and husband whose manliness,exemplary life and gentleness of nature endeared them to him, further

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be printed in our city papers, and a copy be sent to the bereaved family, with the prayer of us all that in looking up to their father's God they may find the "peace that passeth all understanding," which he found in Christ Jesus.

======================

CLARENCE ANDERSON, one of the first photographic artists in the State of Kentucky, is the second of three children born to the Rev. Henry T. Anderson and Jane (Buckner) Anderson. [For sketch of Rev. Henry Anderson, see the history of the Hopkinsville Christian Church.] He was born in Caroline County, Va., in 1835. He received a fair education largely under the care and teaching of his father. He began in early life as a druggist's clerk, and in this capacity worked for some years in the cities of Louisville and Chicago. In 1860 he established himself in the drug business in Harrodsburg, Ky., where he continued to conduct that line of merchandise until closing out some time after his removal to Hopkinsville, in 1877.

Notwithstanding the fact that he has devoted twenty years to the drug trade, he has taken rank with the best photographers in the State, and is now devoting his attention to that business, with marked ability. He was married in 1862, in Harrodsburg, Ky., to Miss Mary, daughter of Dr. C. H. Spilman, of that place. She was born in Jessamine County, Ky., in 1842. Both are honored members of the church and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. Their children, six in number, are Charles H., Clarence, Jr., Alyett B., Genevieve, Trabue and Mary Stilman Anderson.
