The undersigned committee, appoint
ed at a private meeting of the Lodge,
held at Odd Fellows Hall on Thursday
Evening, Oct. 3Oth, 1856, to present
resolutions, expressive of the feelings Of
the members of the Order, on the death
of the wife of Brother Jules Vautrot-
Beg leave to report the following.
Whsreos, In the d~ispensations OF
Providence, a Brother of our order has
been called npon to mourn the death Of
a fond and affectionate wife. The fam
lily circle of which she was the light and
center has been broken up, and the lit
tie ones deprived by death of a mothers
care and attention, the community in
which she lived and moved, Of a valuable
and good member, and our order with
which she was closely connected, of a
true friend. Death is ever solemn, when
in its pathway it cuts down the aged and
tettering, who like the ripened corn are
ready for the harvest, or in its ~visitations
it summons away from earth the Youth
Just opening TO usefulness and enjoy
ments, or when it bears away to the spirit
land the innocent lambs of the flock. it is
solemn in all these, but nowhere does it
leave so whitening a blight upon the
heart, as when it enters the quiet house
hold where every word was kindly spo-
ken, and every act so gently done, and
selects the young, ~confding, trusting wife
and mother, she around whose affection
ate heart cling the hopes of a little
group of innocent and lovely children,
sewers the bonds which has so closely
and pleasantly linked her fortunes with
a kind husband, and drapes the mansion
in habiliments of mourning at a time
when every thing was bright, and life
seemed full of premise. Therefore be it
RESOLVED, That our order in this dis
pensaLion mourn the loss of a departed
sister who Eve cherished a kind regard
and warm feeling for Odd Fellowship,
uniting with the degree of Rebecca in its
early history, she ever strived for its ad-
vancement and usefulness. the place she
occupied in that circle is now vacant,
but her bright example, warm heart and
open hand leaves an impress with us last
irg as time.
ResoEved, That we tender to our
Brother in this trying hour, our heartfelt
coincidence and sympathy, his loss is our
loss, we our her early death, we miss
her presence in our Lodge Room, in the
social circle, in every position of useful
ness in which she was ever prominent,
the little ones thus early deprived of a
mothers care, we commend to Him who
lempers the wind to the shorn lamb, and
and to our Brother we would say mourn
not for the good never dies.
Submitted in the Bonds Of Friendship,
Lore and Truth.
