Mayor of Green Bay: 1908-1916
WINFORD ABRAMS
The death of Winford Abrams, while not unexpected, will be received with universal regret and sorrow. Perhaps the greatest regret of his many friends is that he did not concern himself more seriously with his health in time to have prolonged his life and possibly brought about recovery. Mr. Abrams was one of the most faithful public officials that ever served in Green Bay. He was deeply absorbed in municipal affairs and problems and threw his energy and heart into them, to a degree, we fear, which impaired his health. No person in Green Bay was ever better informed on city administration than he, and in the transaction of public business he was efficient and progressive. Perhaps the strongest qualities of Mr. Abrams, which brought him widespread esteem and respect, were his integrity and honesty. Few public officials were to be found who enjoyed more complete confidence in these respects. Mr. Abrams believed thoroughly in Green Bay and saw its future a commanding city. In his personality, he was one of the most likable of men. Kindly, courteous, enjoying humor, strong in his own convictions, he nevertheless respected the opinions of others and was charitable in his views. He possessed unusual moral as well as physical courage, and was ever ready to go down in defeat for sake of his principle. He met his Maker in the same way, showing that the qualities which attached him to others and which marked his public life were genuine. "Win" Abrams never quailed before difficulties or dangers. He met them all with resolution and strength. He gave Green Bay the best there was in him, and the city will always be indebted to him for his conscientious service and the many improvements and constructive policies for which he was responsible. His death is a real loss to the community. We are all sorry that he is gone. The tributes to the memory of Winford Abrams will be many and sincere.
