lucky, there passed to his eternal re-
ward, our worthy and beloved brother
P. |. Mccarthy.
I'LL, -
press, with heartfelt feeling, the deep
sense of personal loss which we realize
and sustain. He had not been'in very
good health for some months past,
but his demise was a severe shock to
the officers and members OF this lodge
and to his many other friends, which
include practically the whole commu-
nifty.
For many years he was an active
and honored member of this lodge, hav
ing filled the chair of Exalted Ruler
and other Offices at various times with
marked ability and which reflected not
only great credit upon himself but
more than justified the confidence ever
reposed in him. At all times he was a
jealous and earnest member, one who
by his broad and comprehensive knowl-
edge, untiring efforts, wise counsel,
loyalty and unselishness gained for
him that love and esteem which we so
deeply feel.
His. was truly lovable character.
the best and truest of friends, kind
hearted, generous, sympathetic and
with it all he had that broad and noble
charity of thought and action, which
shall ever cause US to regard him and
cherish his memory, as one who was
worthy of the highest tribute as a
man. With all the cares of busy
life, he was never SO occupied, but
what he had time to extend friendly
greeting to all. He had a vein OF
humor at all times that was part Of
his nature and which added rare
charm to his personality. There is
abundant testimony at hand TO show
that ne has left behind him that
"wortheir thing than tears :" The
love of friends, without single foe.
In the death of our brother, the
Lodge has lost one of its best and most
faithful members, which will be deeply
realized by ali; this community one OF
It's brightest, most useful and highest
type of citizens, whose labors were not
in vain and whose example. influence
and Christian life will be living mon
ument of his citizenship.
To his bereaved family, we extend
our heartfelt sympathy in their great
loss and the assurance that we morun
with them in the loss of one whose in
fiuence for good was felt by the entire
community. 1t is resolved by Paris
