resolutions of respect were adopted:
Whereas, Death has again invaded our
fraternal circle and we are again called to
mourn the loss of a worthy sister. Many of
us recall the pleasant hours passed in her
society, and now through these memories
runs q vein of sadness, for we know that
those hours can never be repeated, and
the places that once knew her will know
her no more Sister Andomer E. Tasker
was charter member and always ready to
lend helping hand for the welfare of our
order. What q pleasure to recall the strong
grip OF the hand and feel that thrill of In
spirati0n as we review her noble character.
Resolved, That while we bow in aubmis-
sion to the will OF the Divine Master, We
desire TO extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved husband and children In their
hours Of loneliness and grief.
Resolved, That we as members of Union
Harvest Grange, In remembrance Of our de-
parted sister, that the charter be draped In
mourning for thirty days; that copy Of
these resolutions be presented to the family.
