Of October 10th, a Committee was appointed to draft
resolutions Of coincidence for the loss Of Brother Her
mann Won Holt, who died at sea ON the 10th Of June
last, on a voyage to Germany, where it was hoped
that his sufferings from n long and painful illness
would be relieved, and his health restored.
Nh. Won Holt had been a resident of these Islands
for about sixteen years, and n Brother Mason for
over ten years. His a~miability of character, his
uniform kindness. his unerring devotion to his family,
here and at home, TO moral principles, such ms are
cherished by al good Masons, had not only proved
him to be an excellent man, but had endeared him to
all who knew him. The community lost in him a
useful member; the Brotherhood, n worthy compan-
ion; those nearest to him, a dear relative and friend.
Unassuming as he was, he was also Considerable in his Kind
ness to those who were afflicted, doing good 10 the best Of his
ability, and in that spirit doing what all might emulate, not let
Ting the LETT hand know what the right hand doeih, never did
distress knock at his door without such being widely opened.
With ulat patience worthy Of a good Christian, he endured
many bitter hours AMI days Of most severe suffering, he
rests Ina peace now, and leaves behind him that inheritance. the
beet Of all sr ones children and friends, more enviable than
riches and other distinctions Of the World, a good name and a
memory In the hearts Of all, honored and respected.
