Brandon Royal Arch Chaper, the bar
and the community loses a member,
whose loyalty to every duty life i'm

all who were so fortunate as to come
in contact with his christian infiu-
ences.
Resolved, That while we realize
that human sympathy lily alleviates
the pangs of such loss, we tender tc
his loved ones our sincere coincidence

friend and brother, Henry Sims Cole;
and whereas it is right and proper for
us to manifest our loss by some unmis-

for the many virtues that characteriz

it therefore,
Resolved, That we deeply deplore
the death of Henry Sims Cole, who
was SO long identified with us, as our
brother, neighbor and friend; that he
upheld the ethics of the profession
that he was true Confederate soldier
and he bore upon his person the evil
dence of his devotion to the Cor fed

ed; that the great suffering he endur-
ed for many long years did not
abate his zeal for his beloved
southland; that he was a devoted
and indulgent husband and father,
kind neighbor, good and useful
citizen; that having filled many re
sponsible offices, he acquitted him
self with honor, serving the people
with ability and fidelity.
