sion to the affecting dispensations o.
an allwise Providence, We deem i
meet and proper to place in enduring
form, upon the records of our Lodge
testimonial Of the appreciation and
affection in which our deceased brother
Past Grand and Past Chief Patriarch
| Samuel g. Haynie was held by the
membership of our beloved Order, and
especially by Its membership In thu.
city. In this view brief history oil
his connection with and services in the
order is given.
Bro. S. G.. Haynie was initiated il
Milan Lodge No. 90, l. o. o. F. on the
seventh Of January, 1852, the day aftel
its organization. The five degrees OF
the Order were conferred upon him be
tween that date and the eighteenth Of
May the same year.
On the tenth OF January, 1852, he
was appointed Conductor Of the Lodge
and serving out the term was reap,
pointed to the same Office for the sue
ceeding term. III: served in various
| appointive offices until the commence
ment OF the second semi annual Term
| OF 1853, when he WAS elected and in
| stalled secretary Of the Lodge.
On the seventeenth Of January, 1853,
Johnson Eucampment No. 8 was in
stItuted under q charter granted by the
X. w. Grand Lodge of the United
States, Bro. s. G. Haynle being one OF
the charter members.
The first term of 1854 he served as
V. G.. and the second as n. G.. becom-
ing Past Grand at the installation OF
his successor in January, 1865. On
this occasion, Bro. Hsynie was distin-
guished by being the first recipient Of
the thanks of the Lodge by its vote fer
the able and impartial manner in which
he had presided over the Lodge during
his term. Past Grand Hsynie served
second term as secretary from July to
December, 1857, and again as V. G..
the first term of 1853.
On the twenty-filth of April, 1859,
Past Grand Hsynie with Past Grsnds
Millett and Freeman, of Milan Lodge,
received the Past Official and Grand
Grange whittier they had gone to par
tlcipate in the celebration of the For
tieth Anniversary of the Order. On
the same day he had conferred upon
him the Grand Encampmeat Degree
and served, in the absence of the reg
ularly elected officer, as Grand Senior
Warden of the Grand Encampment at
the celebration.
About the latter part of 1860, Milan
I Nl, lafn
HaynIe took charge of all its property
which he carefully preserved during
the war and until 1866, when, having
been principally instrumental in the
resuseitatIon of the Lodge, he delivered
the property oyer to it. He served as
d. d. G. NJ. in 1867, under Grand Mas
terWillard Richardson and was referred
to IN very complimentary terms by that
officer in his annual report in 1868.
He was reappointed d. d. G.. n. in
1868 and served until the session of the
Grand Lodge in 1869. Bro. Haynie
also served as d. d. &. P. from 1868
to 1870.
In 1871 Bro. Haynie attended the
session of the the Grand Lodge and
Grand Encampment at Galveston be-
ing the Representative to the latter
body.
DURING his whole career as an Odd
Fellow Bro. S. G. Hsynie was an ear
nest and Jealous member. Aspiring
to no position, his ambition was only
to advance the good of the order and
to promote its welfare. His fellow
members were not unappreciative of
his worth, as is shown by the fore
going brief history of his connection
with the Order, and though he sought
them not, the honors of the Order
were conferred upon him and he has
borne them well. Therefore be it
ReSOLoed, That in the transfer of our
beloved brother from his work IN the
subordinate lodge on earth to the
Grand Lodge above our Order has lost
one of its most active and Jealous mem
bers, the cardinal principles of whose
life were its sacred tenets, squaring
thereby his whole department towards
his fellow men in all his relations and
duties; the State has lost q worthy,
useful and often trusted citizen; soci-
ETY. an exemplar in every social rela-
ton; learned profession, an hOnored
and honoring constituent; loving and
devoted family, the idol of its affec-
lions.
ReSoloe1, That we tender to the deep
ly bereAved family of our brother the
earnest sympathy of an sffeotionate
brotherhood, and the assurance that,
mindful of the teachings of our Order,
it will be our effort to soothe the wild
owls sorrow and dry the orphans tear.
ReSOloecl, That this report be spread
upon the minutes Of our Lodge and an
enrolled copy of the preamble and
these resolutions be furnished to the
family of our deceased brother, and
that the same be published in the city
papers, and that copy be presented by
our representative in the next session
of the Grand Lodge.
ReSOlred, That the copy of these res
olutions when enrolled shall be tran
scribed for framing, and the same when
suitably framed shall be suspended in
our Lodge room.
Resolpeti, That in respect to the mem
DRY of our brother we wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days,
and that the charter Of the Lodge be
draped.
