We live in deeds, not years, in
thought, not breath,
In feelings, not in figures on the dial;
We should count time by heart tIhrobs
when they beat
For Man, for God, for Duty. He most
lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest,
acts the best.
Thou! Oh, God, who are our Father IN
Heaven,
Thou! Who knoweth and doeth all
things for THE best.
While we do not question Thy Divine
Wisdom, Thy Power
Nor Thy Grace, We fully realize that
Life is but fleeting shadow,
'Tis Thine to give, It's Thine to take.
And, whereas, It has pleased Thee,
oh, Thou Great Spirit, to remove from
this earthly transitory scene, one
whose life was an exemplary one, one
who was respected and loved by all
who had the pleasure of knowing him,
one who will be missed, and whose
many acts Of kindness will continue
to live until time shall be no moe,
one who was a devoted husband and
father, true neighbor and friend,
conscientious citizen and a devout
Christian gentleman, one who per-
formed his every duty assigned him
ever faithfully, one Of whom it can be
truly said: A man Of character.
He was a loyal and devoted mem
ber of Bergell Tribe, No. "A, and
Cateechee Council. No. 4, Degree of

citated Bergell Tribe, No. "a, and who
Instituted Cateechee Council. No. 4,
Degree Of Pocahontas. A true Red
Man at heart, ever practicing the no
bic principles Of our order, Freedom,
Friendship and Charity, filling the
many and various positions Of honor
and trust in his Tribe, in his Council,
or as Great Saehem Of the State IN
1908, and as Great Representative at
the Great Council Of the United States
in 1904 and 1905, with credit to him.
self and honor to the entire Order.
And, whereas, we realize that the
present prosperity of our Tribe, our
Council and our order in general
throughout this Great Reservation is
largely due to his untiring effort and
energy; therefore be it
Resolved, l. That We humbly sub
nit to Thy supreme wisdom and pray
that Thy strength and Thy comfort
will sustain the members OF MS be-
reaved family in this dark hour of sad
afliction.
2. That We will ever miss him in
all our deliberations around our coun-
Gil fires, moving that he was ever
ready to extend the power, increase the
usefulness and promote the harmony
Of our beloved Order to the fullest ex-
tent of his ability.

badge of mourning for thirty days,
that copy Of these resolutions be for
dedicated to his memory, that these
resolutions be printed in the county
papers and in the official journal, and
that copy Of these resolution be tor
warded, under the seal Of the Tribe,
TO the members Of his bereaved fam
