Token OF Coincidence.

On the 23d day of March 1888, death
made the first inroad in our order at this
place. and removed from our midst our be.
loved brother, James NJ. Franks in his fifty
third year, casting deep shadow of sad.
ness and bereavmeut over our Alliance and
the entire community where he lived.
Whilst in humble submission. we bow to
the will OF our Heavenly Father, yet we feel
that we have sustained great loss there.
fore, be It Resolved, that the members OF
Science Hall Alliance, No. 1885, realize
that they have lost worthy and exemplary
member, and his family kind, devoted
and indulgent husband and father.
Resolved-That in this painful atlliction
we extend to the bereaved family of our de-
parted brother our heartfelt sympathies
and commend them to the care of his, their
and our God.
ResolvedThat these resolutions be pub
lished in the Southern Mercury" and the
County papers.
