A Tribute in Memory of James E. McCullough of Keene

We pause to consider the death of a distinguished member of this House who succumbed in the service of his state while engaged in the execution of his duties on the Committee on Appropriations.

In paying tribute to our distinguished member we wish to bear witness to his character and pay a small measure of tribute to his sacrifice and to his contributions. In the emotions of such an announcement we respectfully audit the virtues of this gentleman of marked character and of pronounced qualities of distinction. We recognize an unsullied purity in his private life, the tragic loss of his wife, his inflexible integrity in his legislative conduct, his condensed energy in his conservatism, his mathematical quickness of perception, his vigor of deduction, his wholesomeness of deportment and his genuine and steadfast belief in the democratic processes, all of which made up his character.

His contributions to our infinity of members chosen from the most varied natures and composition stand out as distinctive. In our small, intimate and prolonged meetings we are all of us personal friends, and coming as we do from divers walks of life we all recognized the sound and deliberate contributions he made to our deliberations. In our special fields of interest, we respected his honest and affirmative conservatism and his philosophy and experience.

The loss of James E. McCullough creates a gap that is irreplaceable to the state which he loved and to his beloved Keene which was his especial concern. And when we adjourn by motion of his friend, may we do so in memory of one who, loyal to his beliefs, and motivated only by the best interests and welfare of his state, died in its service.

After one minute of silent prayer the resolutions were unanimously adopted.

On motion of Mrs. Cooper of Nashua the House adjourned in memory of James E. McCullough at 1:01 o'clock.
