Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of William Mutchler: A Representative From Pennsylvania, Delivered in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, Fifth-Third Congress, First Session Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania: Mr. Speaker, since the adjournment of the House, a few short months ago, Death in his inexorable tyranny has laid claim to one of the most hon ored and faithful members of this body, and it becomes my painful duty to formally announce to the House the death of our late lamented colleague, Hon. William mutchler, a Representative in this House for many years from the State of Pennsylvania. In doing so it is not my purpose or that of his colleagues at this time to indulge in any eulogy on his life, his valuable services, and his high character, but we propose to ask the House at an early day to lay aside its public business and pay such tribute to his life and character as his memory deserves. On the 23d of June last, at his home in the city of Easton, surrounded by his beloved family, his Spirit passed away. Pennsylvania, that great Commonwealth which he so much honored and so long and ably served, has in his death, as has his country at large, suffered a great, irreparable loss. I think I may say that there never has_been shown by the services of a member of this House any higher degree of zeal, fidelity, and ability in the discharge of duty than characterized the life and services of Mr. Mutchler on this floor.
