Not only on account of his long and valuable service rendered the State while in the various positions of honor and trust to which he had been called, but for the national reputation he enjoyed as a statesman of exalted ability and learning; a citizen whose devotion to duty and principles, as well as what he believed to be for the best interests of his country and state, secured to himself the confidence and respect of all fair and honorable men of all parties; a citizen whose death we mourn as a loss to the community and whose memory though sadly, we delight to honor; and Whereas, It has been decreed by the inscrutable laws of the Supreme Rules of the Universe that our esteemed fellow citizen should be thus suddenly taken from his family and the country while in the maturity of his manhood and usefulness, we deem it not only a duty but fit and proper that we should express our deep sorrow for this great loss to the State and country, and that we should extend our unfeigned condolences and sympathy to his afflicted family, therefore, Resolved, That we the citizens of East Saginaw, without distinction of party, deeply lament the sudden and untimely death of Hon. Jacob M. Howard. That we mourn his loss as one that will meet with responsive regrets from the hearts of the people of the State and nation.

Resolved, That as a mark of due respect to the memory of the distinguished dead, a committee of citizens be appointed to attend his funeral at Detroit, and to present a copy of these proceedings to his family and see that the same are given to the public through the press.
