"WHEREAS, it has pleased God in His wisdom to call from among us our late superintendent, Mr. John Ferdinand Zwilling, therefore be it resolved, that we deeply deplore the loss of one who, as an employer, was ever considerate of the welfare of his employes, and whose even discipline and kind treatment gained for him the respect and affection of his men. We regret the loss to the commu- nity of an able and enterprising business man and citizen.

solved that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of the deceased."
In 1879, May 1st, in Denver, Colorado, Mr. Zwilling was joined in wedlock to Miss Mary Marcella Thayer, a native of Springfield, Pennsylvania. The Rev. Father Howlett performed the ceremony. He instructed the bride as a convert to the doc- trines of the Catholic Church, and she received her first Holy Com- munion on her wedding day. She has since remained faithful to the graces received, exhibiting at all times a constancy in the per- formance of her religious duties. Mrs. Zwilling's father was Mr. Ruel Thayer, of Vermont, and her mother was Miss Salina Brewer, born in Pennsylvania, but descended of a New York family who originally owned the present Trinity Church property in that city.
Mrs. Mary Marcella Zwilling is a lady of rare intelligence and culture, who has succeeded in bringing up her family of three in the way in which they should go. She has educated them thor- oughly, not alone in domestic arts, but also in music. Mary Luella, who is Mrs. S. G. Brown, of Toledo, is the oldest. She inherits the qualities of her mother and is an excellent musician. Frances Louisa is attending an academy, in New York city, where she is finishing her literary and musical training. The youngest, Rose Marcella, is at home and is a pupil in the Ursuline Convent. The family is well provided for in this world's goods and are rich in the inheritance of talent, and in the faith of the Catholic Church.
Mr. Zwilling was a man of note, not merely as a business man of great enterprise, but especially as the possessor of fine mental and social qualities. His excellent natural capacities and talents were many, while his supernatural virtues evidenced both grace, training, and the faithful practice of religion. He won esteem by his kindness and generosity, and by the happy accord of his life with the teachings of the Church. Although a sufferer from a complication of physical ills, it was his daily effort to obey the poetic advice :
"Sing notes of love, that some who hear Far off inert may lend an ear, Rise up and wonder and draw near, Lead life of love-that others who Behold your life may kindle too With love, and cast their lot with you."
