Resolved, That the Syracuse Press Club inscribe this sentiment to the cherished memory of its late member, the lamented George D. Mumford:

He was a man of large heart and quick intelligence. His genial, sunny nature, his ready wit and his regard for the sensibilities of his fellows made him a choice companion. Those who knew him best loved him most..."

"...Whereas, it has pleased God to remove from amongst us our friend and fellow club member, George D. Mumford, and
Whereas, he was a charter member of said (Players') club, over actively interested in its welfare and honored and esteemed by its members..."
