beautiful mountain scenery, and the hospi-
tally of the Graceham people. The ls,lics

our place of worship inviting and pleasing

Whereas: 1t hath pleased Almighty God
to call the immortal part of our brother,

n long life of usefulness in the community,
Of devotion to his church, and fidelity to the
principles Of our beloved order, n life which
nearly reached the allotted three score years
and ten Of the psalmlst; leaving n devoted
wife TO mourn the loss Of her companion IN
the pilgrimage of life, and loving relatives
who will most deeply regret the loss of that
tender sympathy with them in times If sor-
row and bereavement, and his fraternal kind

Resolced: That we tender to the bcreaycd
