Whereas, We desire to give public appreciation of him while living and sorrow because of his death: therefore, be it
Resolved, that in expressing our unfeigned sorrow at this dispensation of Providence, we recognize that the Y. P. T.

Resolved. That the most heartfelt condolence and sympathy of our union is hereby tendered to the afflicted family of our deceased fellow-member. Out of their great sorrow may they look through the clouds of the hereafter, and may they gather consolation from the blessed fact, that when time shall have merged into eternity there will be a glorious reunion in that place of eternal rest, where parting shall be no more.
Resolved, that out of respect to his memory, as a token of our great sorrow, each member of our union shall wear a badge of mourning, and that the temeperance rooms be appropriately decorated for a period of thirty days.
Resolved, That a certified copy of these resolutions be printed in both of the county papers and transmitted to the family of our deceased member and secretary.
