IN MEMORIAM.

HARPER W. SNYDER. Born, Nov. 14, 1852; died June 22, 1886. HALL OF SCHUYLER LODGE. No. 248, I. O. O. F. Remington, ind., June 23,1884. Brothers: Again, we have been called upon to perform the last sad rites over one of our members. But yesterday, death laid his relentless hand upon our beloved brother, Harper W. Snyder, and suddenly called him from the scenes of earth, never more to receive or extend the fraternal greetings of our order, or mingle with us in the social walks of life,

It is one of the prominent teachings of Odd Fellowship to extend sympathy and comfort, not only to those of the mystic tie, but to the sorrowing ones about us, applying the balm of friendship and love to the bleeding heart in times of affliction, thus exemplifying the truth of our profession. Therefore, be it resolved, that the members of Schuyler Lodge, No. 284, I. O. O. F., do extend to the wife, children and relatives of our departed Brother, our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their sad and sudden bereavement.

Resolved, That our Lodge Hall and Charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days. Resolved, Tnat these resolutions be spread upon the records of our Lodge, a copy presented to the family of our departed Brother, also a copy each be furnished the Remington News Rensselaer Republican and Odd Fellows Talisman for publication.
