Resolutions of Respect.
Committee

Whereas, on the first day of January
1885, George a. Patton, the little son o
our brother, G. T. Patton, was called away
by death, during innocent childhood
from the earthly home to the home dieter
nal bliss-the Great Lodge of felicity
where He who loves little children presides
in most excellent glory, thereby enabling
our brother to say: "'Twas better TO
have loved and lost than never to have
loved at ALL" yet we realize that hearts
have been saddened by this departure:
BE it, therefore,
Resolved, 1st. That while we humbly
submit to deaths stern decree, that we
sorrow in the removal of the deceased
that had so often smiled on the faces Of its
parents. We feel, however, that little
children are safe and that the child has
gained in that it has escaped the sorrows
and burdens of this world, and that each
can 90 to the child where the "parting
sound shall be heard no more"
2nd. That we extend to our brother
and the relatives our warmest sympathy
during their hours of sorrow, realizing
that they need not weep as those who
have no hope.
3rd. That copy of these resolutions be
placed on the record of our lodge, a copy
given to the fat her of the deceased, and to
the Tazewell papers for publication.

things well: :" Be it, therefore, Resolved,
1st. That while we bow in humble
submission to the arrangements of all wise
Providence, we lament the death of one
whom all esteemed as Christian lady, a
lovable companion, and one possessing So
many qualities of virtue which caused
others to be bettered by her presence
She will be missed not only in the home,
but by large number of friends and Sun
day school pupils, who loved her dearly,

The parting sound shall pass my lips no
more"
