Meier, one of our most respected citizens and former Mayor of this city,,and the City Council of I said city desires to publicly acknowledge the dept of gratitude which said city owes to its departed friend: NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the following testimonial be inscribed in the minutes of the City Couhcil of the City of Azusa, and copies thereof and of this resolution furnished the family: August L. Meier was one of the most respected, honored and loved citizens of the city of Azusa. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, January 3, 18820 and died January 8, 1947, in the City of Azusa. He was a resideit of Azusa for many years, having come to this city in 1907. On May 161 1921 he was appointed to the City Council of the city of Azusa, and served to April 15, 1926. On November 27, 1938 he was again appointed to the City Council, elected Mayor, and served as Mayor of the city of Azusa to April 16, 1934. He remained as a member of council until February 4, 1938, ori which'date he resigned. He served on the City Council with distinction and honor. During the time of his service the City Hell and grounds were laid out and built, streets paved, utilities extended, and a foundation laid for the progress of the city of Azusa throughout the following years. Gus Meier, as we all loved to call him, was capable in business, loyal in friendships, constant in the home. No matter what press of work was upon. ' him, he always had time to turn aside and assist a friend, or to dismiss the cares of the world and renew his strength and vision by communion at home with his wife and family. In 1911 he married Alvina Lepley, one of our local and highly esteemed girls. Two children blessed their marriage, Barbara and Philip. The son, as did his sister, inhereited the splendid qualities of both father and mother. He entered the military service in the great war just ended, served with distinc- tion as a Captain and then Major in the Army in the Philippines, and lost his life in that war. The untimely death of the son was a great loss to us, and an untold bereavement to the family. Now the Grim Reaper who took the son, returns for the father. Our lives have been blessed by this family. The City of Azusa has had untold benefits to come to it through the life of Gus Meier. And in this departed official of the City of Azusa, this friend, this,husband and father, we now subscribe our enduring faith and confidence. The world has been better through the life of Gus Meier, and we have all suffered a great loss in his passing.
