Whereas Mr. Harry A. Wilkie, our esteemed fellow-citizen, after years of painful disease, on the 21st day of September, 1924, passed into life eternal.
Be it resolved that we, the Chamber of Commerce of Tryon, N.C., extend to the bereaved family our heart-felt sympathy. We feel with them that death was a happy release, still the parting brings the sense of loss, and the regret that in this life we shall see his kindly face no more, nor enjoy his genial companionship. Mr. Wilkie was a man who quickly won the respect and love of those with whom he came in contact. His charming personality, lively interest in whatever pertained to the welfare of the community, and his readiness to help by influence and deed any worthy cause will endear his memory to us, while his splendid manhood will be an example for the years to come.
Resolved that this resolution be spread on the minutes of this body, and a copy be sent to the bereaved family.
