The resolutions Of the Drayton
Rutherford chapter on the death OF
Col. Schumpert We're:
The Drayton Rutherford chapter,
u. D. c., unanimously adopts the fol-
lowing tribute of respect and resolu-
tons to the memory of one beloved by
each one present here today:
And in the shadows Of the day, be-
tween the dark and the daylight, while
the evening stars sang together
there was Joy in heaven among the
angels, for it's gates had just swung
wide to admit into it's portals a prince
among men, who had obeyed the sum-
mons from the great King, his Father,
to come home and take up his abode
In the mansion prepared for him. On
December 10, 1910, Col. Osborne La
mar Schumpert, our gallant and be-
loved friend and adjutant of the
James D. Nance camp, fell on sleep
here, to awaken with MS innumerahle
comrades in that "city whose maker
and builder is God" And now that
he has gone away, we will miss him
often and miss him much, especially
1T times like these, when his helpful
deeds and words. of invaluable advice
were ever at our call.
"Therefore, be it resolved:
81. That in the death of Col. Schum-
pert, our community and our chapter
have suffered an irreparable loss, and
our hearts are full of sorrow.
$50. That we will sorely miss his
presence among US and his wise
words of counsel, but We bow in hum
BILE submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father who doeth all things
we'll.
So. That we extend to the sorrow
ing family our heartfelt sympathy,
and commend them to Him whose low
ing kindness and tenderness never
faileth.
-. That copy Of these resolutions
be sent to the family; that they be
spread on our minutes, and that they
be read at the Memorial exercises
held at the opera house May 10, 1911.
Tie Roll of the Dead.
eve approach the roll Of our saint
ed dead for the year with conflicting
emotions. Among this company who
have passed within the gates are some
who shine with a peculiar lustre.
"Just as the glad springtime be-
gan it's scentings upon the earth, our
hearts were saddened by the loss Of a
loved and honored veteran. On March
80, 1911, Chief Justice Young John
Pope laid down the cross to wear the
crown. The memory of him will not
soon pass away from this community;
his cheerful smile and charm of man
ner are not to be easily forgotten, and
We shall miss him, but we feel assur-
ed that somewhere among the many
mansions, somewhere among the
green pastures, and beside the still
waters, somewhere within the glow
and radiance of the great White
Throne, somewhere within loving
touch of his Masters tender hands,
our friends pallid lips, that grew so
still under the cold touch of death,
have walked to life again beneath the
breath of the eternal morning, and
with their old-time fervor have ans
wered, Here"
"One by one, the heroes Of the six
ties are passing away. Fourteen OF
our honored veterans of the James D.
Nance camp have crossed over the
river to rest under the shade o. the
trees" during the past year, each one
full of years and ripe with honors,
and We come today in tears and in
love to lay a wreath upon each new
made mound.
"No wreck, nor change. nor winters
blight,
Nor times remorseless doom
