Senate Resolution No. 11.
Senator Patton sent up the following resolution:
Whereas, On Sunday, February 4, just as the crimson of the
sunset faded into the grey of the evening, the last summons came
for our friend, Henry L'. Lewis, and with the sunset and evening
star he heard the one clear call.
Senator Lewis, although a native of Alabama, had spent the greater
portion of his life in Grimes County, Texas, and the people of that
district honored him by electing him to the Thirty-seventh, Thirty-
eighth, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Legislature as Senator from that
district, and at the time of his death he was still rendering public
service to his community as city attorney of Navasota. The fearless
and upright manner in which he ever discharged his duties as a
public official endeared him to the hearts of the people whom he
served, and won for him the admiration and respect of people over
the entire State. Texas mourns with his family in their loss, for
Texas has need of men such as was Henry L. Lewis. Therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Senate of Texas, Its members extend to the
bereaved family their sincerest sympathy, and that a copy of this
resolution be sent to his wife, son, brother and sisters; and be it
further
Resolved, That when the Senate adjourns today it do so in com-
memoration of his memory, and that a page of the Journal be set
aside for this resolution.
