submission to the will Of him who ordereth
all things we'll we cannot feel other than the
deepest regret, for the loss of one who devoted
his talents and best energies to the service of
his Country, and who was numbered among
our most valued and worthy members.

highest esteem and respect of all who knew
him,
RESOLVED, That trusting in the goodness

that the exercise of his will is for the welfare
of men; and that our brother has been called
to enjoy the happiness of a home where eter
