To the Worshipful Master, War
dens, and Brethren of Pole Star
Lodge No. 22+, +. u A. M:
We, the committee, appointed to
draft resolutions on the death of
Brother Richard Holt, who departed
this life June II, zoos, A. l.. 590s, at
his home near Lead Hill, Boone Co.,
Ark, submit the following
Whereas, the great Creator having
been pleased, out of his infinite wis
dom to send his death angel and
claim as his own our cherished and
beloved brother, Richard Holt, and
removed him from the cares and
troubles of this transitory existence
TO state of endless duration, thus
severing another link from the fra
ternal chain that so closely binds us
together as Il band of brothers in its
bonds of love and affection. Brother
Holt was loyal and devoted member
of the NJ +. Church South at Lead
Hill, was one of the charter members
of Polar Star Lodge No. pa f. &
A. Nj. at Lead Hill, and was an exem.
plary member, who lived up to the
teachings of the order in all that Ma
sonry is, viz Friendship, Charity
and Brotherly Love.
His loss to society, the church and
the lodge was irreparable, and his
family has sustained a loss that is
deplorable in the extreme, which can
never be filled this side of the great
white throne of God. To know
Brother Holt was to love and admire
him. and his life was BETTING one
for all good Masons to initiate. There.
fore be it resolved, first, that we bow
in humble submission to the will and
and decree of the Allwise Ruler of the
universe in the translation of one of
our brightest jewels, and praying the
Great Spirit to guard. guide and pro.
tect the family from the stormy blast
of colo aud wicked world, that they
may make an unbroken family on the
hill of eternal glory.
Resolved, second, that we extend
our sincere and heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence to the family, and
point their weeping eyes and aching
hearts to Him, who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb, as the only source
from which comfort and consolation
can come.
Resolved, third, that the lodge be
draped i'll mourning, and its members
wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days.
Resolved, fourth, that copy OF
these resolutions be rendered to the
family and also be spread on the re,
