The following resolutions or
the death of Comrade Thomas J
Shaffer were unanim ously adopt
ed by Florian Cornay Camp. No
345, on April Goth, 1915:
First: That we tender to the
family of our dead Comrade, in
this, their time of deep affliction,
our most sincere sympathy and
coincidence.
Second: That we recognize
with the keenest appreciation our
loss by the death of our dearly
beloved Comrade, and we shall
feel at each roll call, though he
answers not, that he is still with
US, in spirit, with all his love and
comradeship.
Third: That we realize fully,
that in the death of Comrade
Shaffer, the United Confederate
Veterans have lost one of their
truest and most devoted Com.
manders, one who knew no Lost
Causes" one who loved with all
his heart everything connected
with the honor and glory of our
dear "South Land;" one who was
the embodiment of those lofty
virtues that made the fame of the
Confederate soldier immortal.
Fourth: Though we will see him
no more on earth, still somehow,
Cup Yonder. We hope to greet
him and see him emile again.
"Fcr he is not dead but simply
past
Beyond the mist that blinds our
vision here"
