Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of John N. W. Rumple (Late a Representative From Iowa): Delivered in the House of Representatives and Senate, Fifty-Seventh Congress, Second Session Mr. Lacey. Mr. Speaker, it is my sad duty to announce the death Of my colleague, Hon. John N. W. Rumple, who, at 4 O'clock this morning, after a long and painful illness, was called to his final reward. Iowa has lost one of her most distinguished and pure-minded citizens; this House has been deprived Of one of its ablest and worthiest members, and the veterans Of the civil war have lost an earnest friend and comrade. I will not now speak further Of his life and character, but at some future time his colleagues will ask the House to set apart a suitable time for the purpose Of paying tribute to his memory. Mr. Speaker, I move the adoption Of the resolutions which I send to the Clerk's desk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
