RESOLUTION OF RESPECT:

At the monthly meeting of the LeMars Ministerial Association recognition was
taken of the death of Rev. J. J. Vollmar, of St. John's Lutheran church,
whose sudden sickness and untimely passing has been such a shock to the
entire city. The secretary, Rev. John Perl, reports the following action:

"Rev. J. J. Vollmar has made an enviable record in his pastorate of St.
John's Lutheran church of thirty years. Too few men is it given to be
privileged to organize and build a congregation and be permitted to serve
that same congregation as an active pastor for the entire period of active
service in ministry. To have built St. John's Lutheran church from its
small beginnings of over a quarter of a century ago, to its present size and
influence in our city speaks eloquently of Rev. Vollmar's ability as an
administrator and promoter of his church. Through his long service in the
community as a pastor of this growing congregation, he has made many
friends.

The LeMars Ministerial Association join the citizens of LeMars in extending
heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. J. J. Vollmar, the bereaved family and
congregation of St. John's Lutheran church in their great sorrow.
