Hickman Lodge No. 76l, +. &
\ NJ, Hickman. Ky.
Our esteemed Brother, General
Henry Austin Tyler, departed
this life on April %, 1919, in the
18th year of his life, at his home,
at lakewood Farm, near this city.
Bro. Tyler was made a Master
Mason, and soon after Royal
Arch Mason in his early Manhood
and has always held the order
dear 10 his heart, as evidenced
by his liberal gifts to this lodge
and 10 the Masonic Widows and
Orphans Home in Louisville, Ky,
and for all of which we have a
tender place in our hearts for
him. As a soldier he was brave
and mtiring IN his devotion 10
the cause of the South. As a citi-
zen he always contended for that
which he thought best, and con
tributed largely to Church and
Educational work. lie has gone
to that boun from which no tray
eler returns but we feel that a
reward awaits him there. Our
profound sympathy is extended 10
his bereaved family and may the
God of the universe watch over,
comfort and protect them.
