Excerpt from James Schoolcraft Sherman (Late Vice President of the United States)James Schoolcraft Sherman, Vice President Of the United States, died at his home in Utica, N. Y., at O'clock on the evening Of October 3oth, 1912. In his death the Nation has lost one Of its most illustrious citizens and one Of its most efficient and faithful servants. Elected at an early age to the mayorship Of his native city, the con tinned confidence Of his community was shown by his election for ten terms as a Representative in the National Congress. As a legis lator he at once took and retained high rank and displayed such attributes Of upright and wise statesmanship as to commend him to the people of the United States for the second highest office within their gift. As presiding officer Of the Senate he won the respect and esteem Of all for his fairness and impartiality. His private life was noble and good. His genial disposition and attractiveness of char acter endeared him to all whose privilege it was to know him. His devotion to the best interests Of his native land will endear his memory to his fellow countrymen.In respect to the memory, and the eminent and various services Of this high Official and patriotic public servant, I direct that on the day Of the funeral the Executive Offices of the United States shall be closed and all posts and stations of the Army and Navy shall display the national ¿ag at half - mast, and that the representatives Of the United States in foreign countries shall pay appropriate tribute to the illustrious dead for a period Of thirty days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
