The LATE MAJOR j. B. MosELEY,-
At a meeting of the "Old Folks at
Home" held yesterday, the following
preamble and resolutions relative to the
late Major John B. Moseley, Secretary
of the Society, were adopted. They are
but just tribute to good man:
WHEREAS, In the dispensation of an
overruling Providence, our friend and
associate for. many years, Maj. John B.
Moseley, late Secretary of this Associa-
ton, has been taken out of this life,
leaving vacancy in our organization
and void in the social relations he
adorned be it
Resolued, That we have heard, with
feelings of the greatest regret, of the
death Of our late friend and associate,
John B. Moseley. For more than a
quarter of century citizen and resi-
dent of Memphis, he was endeared to all
of US in bonds of the strongest friend
ship and affection. Often honored with
official position, he always fearlessly,
yet kindly, performed his duty. As a
gentleman, no one was more true and
heightened as a citizen, none more
public spirited; as husband and father,
none was ever more kind, more devoted
or more true. He leaves behind him no
person who can claim higher title to
the just tribute, that an honest man is
the noblest work of God" Therefore,
ReSolred, That in the death of John
B. Moseley, this community has sus-
tanned heavy and irreparabe calamity,
and the "Old Folks at Home" have lost
an honored, respected and beloved
brother
ReSolued, That we deeply deplore the
loss which the "Old Folks and the en-.
tire community of Memphis have sus
tanned in the eslimable gentleman who
so ably and zealously performed the
duties Of secretary of this association,
and who so fully and faithfully dis
charged the duties of citizen, friend,
husband and father.
ReSoIved, That his name be inscribed
upon the roll of honor, to be kept in our
archives of those who have done well
their parts in life, and that these, and
other proceedings touching his death, be
entered upon the minutes.
ResolUed, That while we deplore the
sudden loss we have sustained by the
death of our deceased brother, and the
severe bereavement which has fallen
upon his wife and children, and surviv-
ing friends, we bow with humility to the
dispensations of an everything Provi-
dence, and commend the surviving mem
bers of his afflicted family to the good
offices OF our members.
Resolred, That John Pollard Treze-
want be unanimously chosen to fill the
vacancy in the Office of Secretary occa.
stoned by the death of Major Moseley.
Resolued, That a copy of these pro-
ceedings be furnished the family of the
deceased, and that they be published by
such of the city papers as are friendly to
the Old Folks at Home.
