Resolved— That we sincerely deplore the absence of our dear brother from our midst. At all times he was a genial companion whose heart was a perennial fountain of Kind and ennobling impulses. He was a tender husband and a fond father. He was ever actuated by a keen sense of honor, justice and integrity iu his dealings with his fellow men. By his death the state suffers the loss of a good citizen, and society is deprived of an example of morality and virtue. Resolved—That we sincerely mingle our mourning with that of the bereaved widow, the orphaned children, the relatives and friends of our departed Brother, and to them tender fraternal sympathy in this hour of sore affliction. It is recommended that the Lodge room be draped and that the brethren wear the customary emblem of mourning for the period of thirty days,
