RESOLUTIONS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

[Res. No. 4, A.]

RESOLUTION NO. 1.

Relating to the death and public services of Hon. William Arnemann.

William Arnemann, the representative in this house of the second district of Winnebago county, died suddenly on December 10, 1917. His unexpected death has taken from us one of the most substantial members of this body, and we would here record our sorrow at his going.

Mr. Arnemann was born October 14, 1850, in Hanover, Germany, but removed with his parents to this country in 1855. The family settled at West Bend in Washington county, where William was educated. For nearly fifty years however he had made his home at Neenah and had taken a prominent part in the public work and business life of his community.

Mr. Arnemann had served as an alderman and for three years as mayor of Neenah. He had been a member of the county board in 1890 and 1891, and since 1902 he had served continuously as a member of that body. He first came to represent his district in this assembly in 1903. Again in 1915 and in 1917 he was called upon to give of his time and efforts here at the capital of the state.

Mr. Arnemann had always devoted his best energies to his duties when called into public service and had won a deserved place as an influential and efficient worker for his community and the state. Therefore, be it

Resolved, That this assembly spread upon its records this recognition of the services of Hon. William Arnemann and this expression of sorrow at his untimely death, and that a copy of this resolution suitably engrossed and duly attested be sent to the family of Mr. Arnemann.
