2364 JOUR:\AL OF THE SENATE.

tertaining me at their good home. There I found an air or quiet r &finement. wi th books and papers and generous hospitality that I shall always recall with pleasure.

Mr. Herriott was a great reader and versed !n history and literature and knew how to entertain his guests as few people are able to do.

He was a kind husband; a generous and watchful father, and his place in the family and the neighborhood can never be filled by anyone else.

GILMAN L. JOHXSON.

Senator Broxam, from a special committee, submitted the following report and moved its adoption:

Jlila. PRESIOEXT-Your committee appointed to draft resolutions commemorative of the life, character and service of the Honorable Gilman L. J ohnson, beg leave to submit the following report:

Gilman L. Johnson was born In St. Lawrence County, N. Y., June 21st, 1848. His father was Willtam P. and his mother A. A. Beli·Johnson. His father's family were old early English settlers, first In Tennessee and then in 1839, in New York. His mother's family was also of English origin, living in Canada and Vermont for two generations. His early education was acquired In the common schools of St. Lawrence County, N. Y. At the age of 16 years he enlisted In the 16th New York Volunteer Infantry, where he entered the 142nd New York Volunteer Infantry and was assigned to Company C. He also served as first lieutenant on the statr ot G~neral N. M. Curtiss. In February, 1864, at John's Island, S. C .. he r &celved a gun-shot wound which necessitated · t he · amputation of his right· arm. ·He was in active service during the siege of Petersburg and the· capture of the latter point, January 15, 1866, he was detailed as depot quartermaster at that point until a!ter the close of the war.

After coming out of the army Mr. Johnson attended the Governeur Seminary of St. Lawrence County, N. Y., from which he graduated In June, 1871. He waa admitted first to the New York bar in June, 1871, at the; t.ime of his graduation, then in September, 1871, to the Iowa bar, and for a. few months was associated with Cha~. Rich at Maquoketa. He then formed a partnership with F. C. Richmond which continued practice alone for about ten years and was afterwards associated for five years with F. D. Kelsey d't this city. From the time of the close of this partnership he r.onti.nued his practice alone until about two years ago. when he retired from active practice. Mr. Johnson was a member of the House In the nineteenth General Assembly from the twenty-third district; a lso a . !Dember of the Senat"' in tlle twentieth and twenty-first assemblies from the same dlstnct.

Mr. Johnson was a lawyer of exceptional ability, a citizen of sterling worth, a splendid neighbor and a loyal friend, and a man who will be::: missed in professional circles as well as by the commonwealth in which~ he lived.


JOURNAL OF THE SE:>IATE. 2365

Th..erejore, Be It Resolved, That in the death of Gilman L. Johnson the state and county in which he resided lost a worthy and upright citizen, a valient soldier and and an honored statesman, and we hereby extend to thE' bereaved family and friends our sincere sympath.

4nd Be It Further Resolved. A copy of these resolutions be printed in the journal of the Senate and that the Secretary of the Senate be directed to forward an engrossed copy to the family of the deceased.

H. C. WHITE.

The resolutions were adopted unanimously by a rising vote. I_~ mo\'ing the adoption of the resolution. Senator Broxam spoke

i~:~rt as follows:

I believe that I am the only member of this senate that was person· acquainted with Mr. Johnson, and I feel at this time there is

.ling that I might say that will add to the luster and glory of Mr. Jobllston' life.

As a lawyer be was a leader in his profession, always standing for what he thought was right regardless ot public opinion or what other people might think. Politically, he was a democrat of the old school, lllWayS loyal and true, and now that he has gone to that great beyond, that Home not built by hand, eternal in the heavens, the greatest tribute I can pay to him at this time is that to know him was to honor and love him.
