Whereas, death has again entered our
Lodge. On the night Of the 26tb of sNoyem5
Der, be spread his black wings over our city
and lifted into immortality the soul of Brother
WILLIAM RoBERr DELGAR Brother Delgar
was one of the original thirteen charter mem
bers of our Lodge, eight Of whom still retain
their membership therein. He was twice
Dictator of the Lodge, Grand Dictator Of the
Grand Lodge Of the State, and for many
years member of the committee on laws.
At the time Of his death be was Chaplain OF
the Ledge, always being ready to discharge
any duty that would help or benefit the
Lodge. When Representative to the Supreme
Lodge of the World, his vote and voice were
always for the good of the order In bis
death we feel that a shining light has been
extinguished, and that there is no one to take
his place Allowing, afectiona.e father and
husband, an upright, conscientious and pa
,riotic citizen, and devoted upholder of the
principles of the Knights of Honor.
Reso10ed, Thatin the death of Bro. W. R.
Delgar, our Lodge has lost one of its best
members aud workers, MS family a gentle.s
loving parent and companion, sour city,
county and Statea true patriot, whose every:
thought, word and action were for his coun
try's good.
Resolved, That we recognize that the void
caused BY his death cannoe easily be filed.
Resosoed, Tba, we tender our sympathies to
his grief-stricken family, and pray that God
will bless them, one and all.
Rss0lued, That a blank page in our record
book be dedicated to his memory, that our
hall be draped in mourning for the space
of thirty days, and that our city papers be
requested "a. o.publish these resolutions:
Resolued, That the Reporter be instructed to
send copy of these resolutions to the family
our deceased brother.
