John Jacob Decker.
a special meeting of the Piano Manufac-
turers' Association of New York and
vicinity, held last Tuesday, to take action on
the death of the late John Jacob Decker, the fol-
lowing resolution and minute were adopted :
Whereas, An inscrutable Providence has called
from the scene of his earthly labors our honored
friend, John Jacob Decker, one of the original
members of this Association, the father of our
treasurer and senior member of the firm of
Decker Brothers ; and, Whereas, it is the wish
of the members of this Association, regularly
assembled, to give public expression as an
Association of their deep sorrow in the loss of so
old a friend and fellow member, and of their
sympathy for his widow and daughter and his
son, William F. Decker, sole surviving member
of the firm of Decker Brothers ; be it resolved,
that the following minute be adopted and entered
upon the records of this Association, and that an
engrossed copy thereof be sent to the family of
the deceased.
MINUTE.
We, the members of the Piano Manufacturers'
Association, of New York City and vicinity,
fully appreciated in Mr. John Jacob Decker those
sterling qualities that never fail to make a man
honored in life and mourned in death. Honest in
his dealings with men, earnest in his work, true
as a friend, faithful as a husband and father,
eminently successful as a manufacturer and man
of affairs, he leaves a large and thriving business
that will, we trust, ever remain a monument to
his individual worth. The entire piano trade
has sustained in his death a loss which time
alone can heal, and this Association, more
especially, will ever cherish the memory of one
long to be honored.
