L. l.. Hames. A faithful soldier on
the field of battle, an unpretentious
citizen in the private walks of ife, u

lst. That in the death of brother
Hames our State has lost good citi-
zen, the church faithful servant,
the Sunday School faithful az d
efficient Superintendent and his fam
lily gentle, kind and loving husband

End. That while we keenly feel
the irreparable loss VIC have sustained
and bow submissively to the will of
Providence there is consolation in
the fact that our departed friend
having performed his appointed work
on earth has gone down to the grave
honorabiy, peacefully and quietly to
reap the reward of the finally faith
full.
3rd. That these resolutions be
inscribed in the Sunday School Re-
cord Book and page therein dedi-
Gated to his memory.

sent to the county papers for publ
cation and copy delivered to the

was pious man and lived and labor
