seem with our beloved friend and
brother, X. l.. Tanner, and now, you
gentle reader, as well as his breth-
rem of the mystic tie will read, pond
err and reflect. We his brethren who
knew him best can find no words to
expires sour sorrow and now that he
is gone, we can no more have his
genial presence at our regular COM
mimic tons. IA we have almost in
variably had for the last thirty
years, i'll health alone preventing.
Thus on the walls of the hearts
of every member of Mckinney Lodge
No. 631 is inscribed in Golden let
tiers that can never be effaced. a
love and esteem for his true, noble
character, an admiration and re-
spect for his upright life.
Therefore. be it, Resolved that in

one of its best and most highly es-
teemed members and the community

panion and children to whom he was
so devoted we extend our deepest
sympathy, and in their great loss Sc
hard to bear we commend them fol
consolation and strength to God
from whom all blessings and com.
fort must come.
