CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS
OF THE
ILLINOIS SOCIETY.

PREAMBLE.

Whereas, It is desirable that there should be ade
quate celebrations commemorative of the events of
Colonial History happening from the settlement of
Jamestown, Va., May 13, 1607, to the battle of Lex
ington, April 19, 1775;
Thereyore,The Society of Colonial Wars has been
instituted to perpetuate the memory of those events,
and of the men who, in military, naval, and civil
positions of high trust and responsibility, by their acts
of counsel, assisted in the establishment, defense, and
preservation of the American Colonies, and were in
truth the founders of this nation. With this end in
view it seeks to collect and preserve manuscripts,
rolls, relics, and records; to provide suitable com
memorations or memorials relating to the American
colonial period, and to inspire in its members the
fraternal and patriotic spirit of their forefathers, and
in the community, respect and reverence for those
whose public services made our freedom and unity
possible. 7

IN MEMORIAM.
Whereas, God in his providence has removed
from our midst George Francis Bissell, a Charter
Member of this Society, we desire to .express our
sincere expressions of regret at our great loss in his
death. Mr. Bissell was born June 22, 1827, and died
June 25, 189s, and had resided in this city many
years, where, by his strict integrity, he had won
for himself the esteem and admiration of his fellow
citizens. He was a man of strong religious convic
tions, being at the time of his death a member and
officer in the First Presbyterian Church. He was
a man of marked business ability and great decision
of character.
Mr. Bissell was No. 8 in the roll of membership in
the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Illinois
and will be sadly missed in all our future Counsels.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this Society and also a
suitable page be placed in our year book and the
same be placed in the General Societies' year book.
Resolved, That a copy be also furnished the
bereaved wife and family of our lamented friend.
