Excerpt from Proceedings of the Legislature of the State of New York Commemorative of the Life and Public Services of Frank Wayland Higgins, Late Governor of the State, Held at the Capitol, Monday Evening, April 8, 1907 Bovernor State Of New York, Executive Chamber, Albany, Febraaiy 13, 1907.To the Legislature: Tis with deep sorrow that I announce the death at Olean on February 12 th of Frank Wayland HiGGiNS, recently Governor of this State. His public career and the distinguished services rendered by him to the State are fresh in your memory. For eight consecutive years he sat in the Senate and by the nobility of his character, his sagacity, and his conscientiousness in the discharge of every duty he won the friendship and high esteem of all his colleagues regardless of party affiliations. Later, as Lieutenant-Governor, he presided over the deliberation of the Senate with dignity and impartiality. His administration as Governor was characterized by honesty of purpose and by painstaking fidelity, and was made notable by the achievement of most important reforms. As his health failed he continued his work without flinching, counting no personal sacrifice too great which would enable him to perform his duty. No soldier on the battle field ever exliibited greater herosim than was his when, at the peril of his life, he made his public appearance to discharge what he conceived to be his public duty on the occasion of his successors inauguration. He was a man of the highest integrity and he has left to the people of the State the precious memory of a character without blemish. Li recognition of his services I have ordered that the flags upon the public buildings be displayed at half mast, and I recommend such further action by the Legislature as may be deemed appropriate.
