and loving son and an affectiOnate and in
dulgent father.
ResoEUed. That in the death of Grand
Secretary and Grand Scribe, Barry, the
Order in the State has lost one of its
brightest gems-a faithful worker and an
efficient officer-one who during the peri

of both offices with promptness and
fidelity. .-.. -.--
Resolved, That in all his connections, as
q member and officer of the Order, as a
friend and citizen, his conduct was found
ed upon the purest principles his motives
were pure and upright, his heart and hand
ever ready at the call of the distressed and
needy, prompted as they ever were by his
kind and generous nature, which called
around him scores of true and warm heart
ed friends who were bound to him by his
manly dignity, his gentle courtesy and his
ardent zeal in the cause which he espOused
in early life with warmth of fraternal
love which made him an exemplar in the
Order worthy of future imitation.
ReSOtUed, That we fully endorse the
action of our r. w. Grand Lodge at its
recent session in Nashville, in re-electing
brother Barry, at his request, to the office
of Grand Secretary, although at the time
they were fully apprised of his physical
condition, and that in all probability he
would be unable to perform the Onerous
duties of the office-yet his long and faith
fol ses.,ions jtIctlS- ontitlnd him To the sad
satisfaction of passing away" with all the
insignia of office about him.
ResogUed, That our Lodges drape their
charters and Lodge-rooms for thirty days
as small token of esteem and respect for
for our departed brother.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to the family of our late
brother, and to Tennessee Lodge, No. l,
Nashville, Tenn, Of which he was an hon
ored member, and that they be spread up
on the minutes of our Lodges and Encamp-
ment, and that the city papers be request
