Memorial Address on the Life and Character of Joseph Salyards #272510

During the funeral services, as a tribute of respect to his worth and usefulness, all the places of business in the town closed their doors and suspended active operations. The Board of Trustees of the Polytechnic Institute, of which Institution he was the President and Professor, also adopt ed resolution-s appropriate to his memory. Such is the brief, but melancholy record of the last marks of honor paid to this remarkable man — this prodigy of learning — who in life was revered and in death lamented.
