Am Lodge No, AZ. +. 4 A. NJ. held on the
4th day Of August 1881 the following
obituary preamble and resolutions were
adopted,
WHEREAS, The silent messenger
OF the grave has again visited our little
family circle, and again he has sum
moncd one Of our number down to the
company OF the unnumbered millions OF
them that sleep. We did not see him enter
our guarded door; we did not hear his ap-
preaching footstep; but be came. and his
message WAS to our old and well beloved
brother Noble J. Purdy. Sudden. but
not wholly Unexpected TO us. was tho sum.
mons. We had seen the erect form
gradually bending with the weight Of
years. and the firm step OF sturdy man
hood become shorter and fssbler
and faltering with age; and we knew that
in q few years we should be called to lay
the remains Of our brother with the silent
dead; and yet tho summons was so sudden
that it cast gloomy shadow over our
whole body, and we stand before tho
dread messenger and with bowed heads
and blanched lips silently ask "Who merit"
But while We keenly feel the blow that
has clothed Us in the emblems Of mourn
ing it is earnestly fitting that We remem-
Der the virtues OF the dead and that we
place upon the records Of our Lodge ex-
pressions Of our love and yeneration OF the
noble traits that adorned every life page
Of him We mourn: therefore,
Resolred, that by the death OF our Brother
Noble ]. Purdy this Lodge has lost one Of
its Oldest and most devoted members A
man whose pssceable and harmless walk
in lie made no enemies and many friends.
Resolrei, that We do sadly miss the genial
and warm hand grasp OF our
brother and that while wa mourn his loss
NO will emulate his virtues,
Resoired, that We deeply sympathizc
with the relatives and friends OF our de-
parted brother and we commend to them
q consolng thought that although death
came suddenly il found our brother ready
and waiting the transfer TO immortal light
and glory,
Resolred. that these resolutions DO spread
upon our records. aud be published in the
JuRSAL; and certified copy
hereof sent TO tho berssvsd widow.
