instant, the following preamble and resolu-
tlons were unanimously adopted:
When Death strikes down member oil
society and removes from amongst his COL
leagues one whom long and familiar assocla-
tion has endeared to them, The broken lies Of
individual friendship awaken sorrow and grief
in the hearts oflhe survivors; but when one is
taken away from rs whom we knew but as
stranger in a strange land, until that portal
was passed which brought him within the pale
of our order, only few months ago, and ere
we had opportunity Of knowing him well, We
are necessarily most impressed with the mel
ancholy circumstance Of his dying far from his
home and those to whom he was bound by
ties O! kindred, while we cannot but feel CRATE
full that we, as Odd Fellows, have been permit
ted to extend to him, in his last days, the
friendly hand aud hearty sympathy Of brothers.
Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in the death Of Brother
Thomas Fox, who died Uf yellow fever on the
25th of August, 1871, Jefferson Lodge. No. 4,
]. o. o. F.. has been deprived OF brother
whom we shall hold in remembrance, because
in his connection with the Lodge and early
death thereafter has been eXempllned the Nigh
est benefcence OF our institution.
Resolred That we are reminded by his re-
moval Of the insecure tenure oil life, and that
we should therefore, the more carefully snow
ourselves TO be "true Odd Fellows" that death
may not come upon us while our work is un,
finished, and that we may meet IN goou
standing" in the Celestial Lodge on High, there

Resolred. That we sympathize with his rela-
tives, wherever they may be, and regret that
we are denied the sad privilege OF cJmmunl'
eating any expression OF our sympathy 10
them.
Resolved, That page in our minutes be

At meeting of Jefferson Lodge, No. 4, 1.
O. O. F., held on Tuesday evening, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
Again. in the space of few weeks, has
Death removed from our midst one OF our
brothers, and we are now called upon to
mourn the loss Of one who, by his courteous
and kindly manners and meritorious deport-
ment. during the short time Of his connection
with our Lodge, had drawn around him
circle OF warm friends from our midst. Thir-
teen years ago both of the parents OF the sub
ject of our remarks fell victims to the scourge
that has SO lately laid our brother low in
death. We feel less called upon to eulogize
his life and virtues than to express our sor-
row and sympathy with his afflicted family.
Therefore, be it
Resolred. That Jefferson Lodge, No 4, /. 0.
o. F., has, by the death OF Brother Charles b.
KonIg, lost member whose conduct, whlle
connected with US, has been in the highest de-
gree calculated TO win our regard and esteem,
and one from whom we are grieved 10 part
RESOLVED, That We shall cherish the remem-
brance of his presence among US as pleasant
to dwell upon, and of his actions as worthy OF
our imitation; and that we look forward TO
happy reunion hereafter in the presence OIL
that Grand Master whose we-done we hope
to merit, as has our departed brother.
RESOLVED That we deeply sympathiZe with
his bereaved sisters in their great aft1ictioD,
and tender to them as sad privilege this ex-
preston OF our sentiments In the time oil their
sorrow.
Rescued, That page in our minutes be in
scribed and dedicated 10 his memory, and That
a COPY OF this preamble and these resolutions
be sent to his family.
Resolued, That these proceedings be PUBLISH
ed in The daily papers,
