dutiful and kind to Sis bereaved parent; and
as Mason, good and true. Therefore, be it
Reso9Ued That we hereby extend to the
deepiy afflicted family OF our deceased bro
ther our sincere sympathy in their bereave-
ment, and offer to them, as, comfort and con-
ISOLATION, that while bright light has gone
ont in the home circle. a new star has been
added to the family constellation in that
world where death can never enter.
Resolued, That q page of our record book
be set apart to the memory Of our deceased
brother, W. 7. Walter, and that 6 copy of
these resolutions together with the memo
rial, be presented, with the most earnest
sympathy and coincidence of the Lodge, to
his widow, and that the jewels Of the Lodge
and portrait OF our deceased brother Be
draped in mourning, and the brethren wear
the usual badge for thirty days.
Resotued, That these resolutions be pub
iished in the daily papers Of Columbia at
least one time.
