therefore be it
Res0lred, That the county lost a
pure, upright and patriotic citizen,
that his friends have lost asafc coun-
sellor, his family a loving, tender
and devoted husband and father, and
the Grange one Of its brightest, most
earnest and able advocates.
ResoEred, That his sudden and UNI
expected death comes with crushing
force to every true Patron, all of
whom had learned to regardhim with
the affection of children or parent.
Resolced, That the example of his
life and his many noble virtues be
emulatcd by every member of the
order, and that we deeply sympa-
thize with the family and friends of
the deceased, in their irreparable
loss of husband, father, friend, adyi-
ser and companion.
Resotrcd, That the vacancy created
in this Grange, through the death Of
our much beloved Brother, while it
causes general sorrow, shall yet chas-
ten our spirits to greater devotion
to the principles of our noble Broth
erhood and to lead more perfect and
blamcless lives.
Resolrcd, That these resolutions be
published in the Point Pleasant Reg
Saer and Farmers Friend, and a copy

ceased.
