rem of Plain Dealing Lodge No. 237, F. and A. |
NJ, Plain Dealing, La.
We, your committee appointed to

ceased brother, w. H. Meares, beg leave
to submit the following:
Brother Meares was born in Chatham
County, N. c., October Is, 1886; moved
to Pine Bluff, Ark, in 1859, and in 1861
joined the Confederate Army and served
with distinction throughout the war. He
was always ready to fight for his country
or the principles of right. After the
close of the war Maj. Meares (as he was
known moved to Bossier Parish, where
he resided up to the time of his death
and was one of our best and highly res
pected citizens.
On August II, 1895, Maj. Meares made
application to Plain Dealing Lodge No.
237, F. and A. NJ, and was in due course
initiated, passed, and raised on Novem-
Der II, 1895, to the degree of Master
Mason. He remained true and faith
full member up to the time of his death,
which occurred in Plain Dealing on
April I, 1909, and his remains were laid
to rest in Plain Dealing Cemetery by
Plain Dealing Lodge No. 237, F. and
A. NJ, April s, 1909, in presence of
large gathering of friends, with the
usual ceremonies. He was Past
Master of his lodge and lived Masonry.
Whereas, the Grand Master above has
in his wisdom summoned our beloved
brother to higher lodge, and
Whereas, our lodge has lost one of it's
faithful, true and tried brothers, his rel
atives a loving friend and the State and
parish one of it's highest esteemed citi-
zens, therefore
Be it resolved, That We, the members
OF his lodge, realize that we have lost
one of our best and highly respected
members.
I'd. That to his relatives we express
our heartfelt sympathy.
Sd. That our lodge hall be draped in
mourning and the members wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
4th. That copy of this report and
resolutions be spread on the minutes OF
our lodge and a copy furnished to the
Bossier Banner, Square and Compass
and Shreveport papers, all of which we
most respectfully and fraternally submit
