SCARBORO.
Scarboro, July 22.-At regular meet
ing of Nonesuch Lodge No. 81 Knights
of Pythias, the following resolutions were
unanimously adQptcd:
Whereas, Our Divine Father above has
seen fit in His infinite wisdom to remove
l..
II. Allen, who, during the short time
that he has resided among US has made
himself through his wonderful ability as
physician and kindness of heart as
friend and associate, almost indispensa-
BILE to our existence, and
Whereas, We, as members of Nonesuch
Lodge, Knights Of Pythias, have met with
an irreparable loss in the death of our
Brother, who, through nature was SO
richly endowed with that rare gift VIII ich
he possessed in making himself SO entirely
agreeable to all, whether in the home OF
the humblest resident, or the home of the
richest and most affiuent, was
always welcomed as skillful, kind
and faithful physician and loyal and true
friend, and .
Whereas, This, his adopted town, hos
through the hand of death lost valuable
citizen and physician, one who yet very
young, but who, through his mature
Judgment and skill had gained place
in the confidence Of his townspeople in
the few short years of his residence here,
that few men could acquire in many
years; and we feel that he was pre-emi-
nently fitted for the profession that he
had chosen; and that while we may have
come to our rsmidst skilled physicians and
good citizens, we can not have man
that will fill all places in the same accept
able manner as our departed Brother.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That while we as brothers of
Nonesuch Lodge, have met with severe
loss, and bow in humble submission to
Him who overruled all, we extend to the
widow of our late Brother our sincere
sympathy in this her sudden and terrible
bereavement, and commend her to the
kind mercy of our Heavenly Father. And
while unable to understand this dispen-
sation of His providence, we believe he
doeth all things well. And be it
Resolved, That we extend to the moth
er and family of our late Brother. with
whom we have been permitted to associ-
ate and respect for his many excellent ac-
complishments, manly bearing and pro-
fessional ability, our heartfelt sympathy
in this, their great aff1iction. And be it
Resolved, That out of respect for the
memory of our late Brother the Charter
of this Lodge be draped for the space OF
thirty days. Also a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent 10 the widow and mother oil
the departed Brother; a copy sent to the
press for publicati on. and that these reso
lutlons be spread upon the records of this
Lodge.
Respectfully submitted in F. C. and B
