Resolutions of Condolence.

Hall of Rensselaer Lodge, No. 346, D. of R. We, the committee, appointed to draft resolutions of respect to the memory of our beloved sister, Alvena P. Antrim, who departed this life Feb. 6th, 1894. do hereby submit the following: Whereas, Death has again invaded our lodge and taken from our midst our beloved sister and has left behind to mourn her loss, a loving husband and son of tender years, and Whereas, knowing the warm heartedness of the deceased and the noble life she has lived, the bright example she has left us, it is but fitting that we should give expression to the high esteem in which she was held. She was a noble woman, a devoted Christian, a true companion, and a loving mother. She now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, her life work is done. Her home is with the blest. Therefore be it Resolved, that we extend to the bereaved family our sincerest sympathy in this affliction and commend them to the fellowship and lone of the Heavenly Father who doeth all things well. Resolved, that in token of respect for our departed sister, the charter of this lodge be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days and that these resolutions be entered on the records of this lodge, and a copy be sent to each of the county papei’s for publication. A little while our loved ones with us linger. A little while of mingled joy and pain. Then at the signal touch of Death’s cold finger They leave us never to return again. Amanda W.
