In Memorium
Thomas C. Hockridge, a member of the Board of Directors of the Farmers Elevator Co. of Arthur for twenty years, and a resident of Cass County for over forty years, died at his home in Hunter July 20th, 1930.
In his going the County and the Board of Directors have sustained a great loss. He was one of the pioneers; he was always a good citizen, and as a director, his record was one of which any official might well be proud. As a farmer he understood and appreciated the needs of the farming community. A good citizen, a valued associate and a true friend, we deeply mourn his going, and record in our proceedings this expression of our appreciation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this Memorial be sent to the bereaved family, and placed in our records, with expressions of deepest sympathy.
Signed, J. E. Sommerfeld, Pres., Jessamine S. Burgum, L. S. Burgum, Committee.
