engrossed and framed and signed by
the warden, treasurer and clerk and
presented to Mrs Adamson on behalf
of the council ;
The County Council of H. Bron in
session assembled desire to express
their deepest sorrow at the death of
the late Peter Adamson, Esq., county
clerk, and to place upon record this
memorial as a tribute to his long and
faithful services to the county of
Huron ; Commencing with the year
1855, 'at which time the deceased
resided in the township of Stanley, he
continued for a period of thirty-six
years to serve the people of the county
in various positions, In the council
board of his township, in the office
of clerk of the county, in the school
board,• as a magistrate, and in every
place he filled he succeeded in making
the impress of his strong individuality
felt by those with whoin he came in
contact, For a quarter of a century
the late clerk filled the important
office to which he had . been, whilst
serving as a co.0 ty councillor, une
anunotlsl.y elected by his fellow,coun-
citlors, and which he still held at the
time of his death, with such faithful-
ness to his duty and so just a regard
for the -public interest that every mem-
ber of successive councils and every
person having business with his office
bore willing testimony to his uniform
courtesy and his official thoroughness.
These qualities which he so thorough
ly displayed twice induced the county
council without any request on his
part to increase his salary, thud
spontaneously giving evidence of the
place he held in the estimation of
its members, During his long public
career, whilst occupying these many
important places of trust, the deceas-
ed by his unvarying kindness, by his
readiness and by his uprightness and
honor secured the good will and the
esteerx, of all who knew him. Every
public position he held he esteemed to
be "a sacred trust," and as such he
filled it with devotion' and integrity.
Genial in disposition, honest -hearted'
and true, firm in principle and faith-
ful to duty, he leaves behind him the
record of one who wore the white
flower of a blameless life, and an ex-
ample worthy ot emulation by al
l
those who seek to serve in any pDai
tion their fellow men.
