At recent meeting of the Mystic Star
Lodge, +. and A. M, Marcus Peck, q. III.
Bigeiow and q. A. Clark, committee re-
ported the following preamble and resolu-
lions in memory of Marshall K Peck, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cassius Peck, who died
March l, in the twenty-third year of his age:
"That unwelcome messenger has again
alarmed our outer door. Amid peaceful
scenes we learn to contemplate death as
something that must come, yet we place the
time for each of us in the far distant future.
We mourn when our friends fall by the
wayside, yet we cannot say but it is better
for them than to struggle on, ever knowing
that the end is not far distant to the most
strong and healthy among u.s. For us who
have gathered here the present is more than
usually solemn time, and reminds US of
the truth OF the words of Holy Writ that
in the midst of life we are in death. We
have nothing left in the present case but
the memory of our friend. When we remem-
Der that genial smile, manly form, and
warm, hearty grasp of our late brother,
may it ever be reminder to us to copy his
virtues, and ever have pleasant word for
all we meet, in the short journey of life.
With such thoughts filling the minds of
your committee, the following resolutions
are submitted for the consideration of Mys-
tic Star Lodge, #. and A. M: ReSOlved,
That in the death of Brother Marshall X.
Peck, this lodge has lost worthy member,
his wife loving husband, the parents de-
voted son, the brothers and sisters true
pathy of this lodge is hereby rendered to
the wife and relatives in their great grief
RESOLVED, That as a memento of respect the
charter and jewels of this lodge be draped
IN mourning for three months, these res
olutions be spread upon the records and a
copy, under seal of the lodge, presented to
the widow and parents OF our late brother"
